Whatâs been missing until now is a systematic approach to achieving target texture that works well out in front of consumer sensory evaluationsâ¦and one that uses language precise enough to be relevant in a product development environment. The Texture RevolutionÂ® from TIC Gums gives you those missing elements. Itâs a new tool that allows you to plan and manipulate food textures in order to improve consumer acceptance. It includes a far more powerful vocabulary for describing the textural attributes you want to achieve in new or reformulated food products.
