Research Summary

A thickener is a substance or agent used to increase the viscosity or thickness of a liquid without substantially altering its other properties. In various industries such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, thickeners are employed to enhance the texture, consistency, and stability of products. Commonly used thickening agents include natural substances like starches, gums, and pectin, as well as synthetic polymers. In food applications, thickeners are often added to soups, sauces, and gravies to achieve a desired thickness. In the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, they can be found in products like lotions, creams, and syrups.
