Taking out the sweeteners thus may result in the loss of both taste and texture appeal. Add-Here is a proprietary line of hydrocolloids that replaces the texture and bonding qualities needed but with significantly less sugar, according to White Marsh-based TIC Gums.
The Add-Here products are dispersible and soluble, and they have low enough viscosity to be spray-able. Drying time may be reduced by as much as 20%.
