Alternative Thickeners for Water-Based Sauce Stability

Hello!

I’m looking for an alternative to xanthan gum in my water-based sauce (aw around 50%) to increase its viscosity. Currently, due to limitations with my equipment, I find that using xanthan gum initially thickens the sauce effectively, but after 24 hours, I notice it separates and doesn’t stay well-integrated. Could you recommend a stabilizer or thickening agent that would maintain a smooth, homogeneous texture over time?

starch is better. xtanhan may cause some ait bubbles.

thank you. I already used starch, but the taste not what I want because It feel starchy.

Do you cook or heat it to activate of starch hydrocolloid properties?

Also heating or cooking may help to remove unwanted taste and smell.

Yes the sauce heated but in short time.

Viscosity increase use guar gum in combination with xanthan gum

high Viscosity sodium.CMC with xanthan is good also
