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?
