Ticaloid Tortilla

Strength - Flexibility - Moisture Control

Even as traditional tortillas have become a common part of many Americans' diets, consumer interest is growing in better-for-you tortillas. "The biggest shift in the tortilla market has been toward healthy, whole grain, and multigrain tortillas. Ticaloid® Tortilla from TIC Gums adds flexibility and strength needed in these new products," notes Dan Grazaitis food technologist for TIC Gums. Moreover, in addition to its strengthening properties, Ticaloid Tortilla can bolster the fiber content of tortilla products, since gums inherently contain significant soluble fiber.

Tortilla Stabilizer

Ticaloid Tortilla provides tortilla producers with a more consistent, quality product with an extended shelf life. The stabilizer is made from a combination of water-binding hydrocolloids, each with different and important qualities for the finished product.

"Ticaloid Tortilla is able to improve flexibility, strength and moisture control in the finished tortilla. It also has excellent control in ice crystal formation for frozen tortilla applications," remarks Grazaitis, adding that the moisture control benefit also extends to foodservice operators, who typically heat tortillas in steam trays or tables.

Organic Compliant Tortilla Stabilizer

TIC Gums now offers an organic compliant tortilla stabilizer that can provide the flexibility and strength required for these types of products. Try our Ticaloid® 1023 T OG for your 95% organic tortilla or flatbread.
