Why Do Some Hydrocolloids Form Fisheyes During Hydration While Others Disperse Easily?

Fisheyes occur when the powder surface hydrates too quickly and forms a gel barrier around dry particles.

The faster a hydrocolloid hydrates, the greater the risk of fisheye formation.

Key Takeaway: Proper dispersion technology is often more important than the hydrocolloid itself.
