Add-Here CSA is a proprietary blend of gums. It is cold water soluble, with viscosity low enough to be spray-able. With its binding and film forming characteristics, it can hold more salt, spices, seeds or other inclusions without the addition of sugar, honey, egg wash, or high fructose corn syrup.

Add-Here CSA can be used for affixing inclusions and spices onto foods like the following:

Bagels/bread
Pretzels
Rice crackers
Seasoned nuts
Meat
Croutons

Add-Here CSA can also seal burritos, and other closed meat or fruit filled pockets.

Features & Benefits Of Add-Here CSA

Sugar reduction: no or lower sugar without the loss of binding, texture or stability.
Improved binding for inclusions: for spices, salt and/or sugar to stay where they were intended and not in the bottom of a bag.
Allergen free: though variable in some countries outside the U.S. it is possible for more people to enjoy and/or benefit from foods they could not eat previously.
Shine: where and when needed, gloss does not have to be added with another "coat" of a separate product which also saves time and money.

Add-Here CSA makes reduced sugar bakery and snack foods possible and shows how gums and gum systems can mimic or even replace the stabilization and film forming properties of fully sugared products.
