- Benefits and Features
Cooked dispersions of MELOJEL® have a smooth, short texture when hot and set to an opaque gel when cooled (7% concentration).. Gelled products made with MELOJEL® starch are not recommended for extended or cold temperature storage since they have a tendency to exhibit syneresis (water release).
- Packaging Information
MELOJEL® is packaged in multi ply kraft paper bags with a net weight of 50 lbs.
- Microbiological Limits
Initial testing is done on a single composite sample against a limit of m. If result is above m, the three class sampling and acceptance below is used.. Where n = # of samples tested; c = maximum allowable number of results between m and M; m = upper target limit; M = maximum acceptable value.
