Can CAG customize the particle size, viscosity grade, or blend ratio of hydrocolloids for specific customer needs?

Yes. CAG offers a comprehensive customization service covering single-ingredient specifications, custom blended formulations, and collaborative product development — all tailored to your specific application requirements.

Single-Ingredient Customization

For standard hydrocolloid products, the following parameters can be adjusted to match your processing and application needs:

Parameter	Available Range / Options	Practical Impact
Particle Size	40 mesh – 120 mesh	Controls dissolution rate, dispersibility & mouthfeel
Viscosity Grade	Low Medium High	Matches flow behavior & texture requirements
Gel Strength Grade	Low Medium High	Optimizes firmness, elasticity & syneresis control

Custom Blended Formulations

CAG can develop multi-ingredient hydrocolloid blends in two ways — whichever fits your workflow better:

Customer-specified formulas:if you already have a target recipe or specification, we manufacture to your exact blend ratio and parameters.
Application-driven recommendations:if you have a functional target or food application in mind, our technical team will propose the most suitable hydrocolloid combination based on our formulation expertise.

Blends are available across a wide range of applications including texture modification, stabilizer systems, gelling agents, emulsification support, and more.

Collaborative Product Development

CAG works alongside customers to co-develop texture improvers and stabilizer systems tailored to new product development. Key aspects of our development partnership:

Aspect	Detail
Confidentiality	An NDA can be signed prior to any technical exchange to fully protect your IP and formulation data
Development Fee	No charge — CAG does not charge for the development process
Timeline	Varies by project complexity; a realistic schedule is provided at project kick-off

Sample Validation Before Scale-Up

All customized products — whether specification-adjusted single ingredients or newly developed blends — go through a sample validation stage before mass production. CAG provides lab-scale or pilot-scale samples for your internal testing and approval. Full-scale production only proceeds once you are satisfied with the sample performance.

To discuss a customization requirement, please contact our sales team with your application details and target specifications. An NDA can be arranged upon request before any technical exchange begins.
