DENS_UP CRISTAL

Dietary food intended for special medical purposes.
Gelling and thickening powder for liquids and foods.
Powder with high gelling thickening capacity that allows to maintain a high level of transparency when used to gel water and does not interfere with the taste of liquids and foods to which it is added. DensUp Cristal does not contain starch and is therefore resistant to amylase. Suitable for all patients with swallowing problems (dysphagia) who need diets with an appropriately modified consistency. Added to liquids and semi-liquid foods, it increases their consistency, thus creating the conditions for safer swallowing. The thickened liquids maintain all the original flavor and clarity appeal and favor patient acceptance.

Ingrediants
Maltodextrin; xanthan gum; erythritol.

How to use
Each patient requires levels of food consistency that must be defined according to specific needs: to choose the most suitable consistency for your case, follow the doctor's instructions.
The amount of powder to be used depends on the consistency to be obtained and the characteristics of the liquids and foods to be thickened, such as initial consistency, temperature, acidity, etc.
Indicative doses of powder referred to 100 ml of natural water at room temperature:
Syrup consistency - obtained with 1 scoop (about 1.5 g) of powder in 100 ml.
Cream consistency - obtained with 2 scoops (about 3 g) of powder in 100 ml.
Pudding consistency - obtained with 3 scoops (4.5 g approximately) of powder in 100 ml.

Preparation
With Dens Up Cristal the preparation of water and beverages or semi-liquid foods, hot or cold, is very simple.
For water and aqueous liquids: define the amount of powder required and put it in a glass or dry container, add all the liquid to be thickened in one go and mix immediately for a few seconds until dissolved.
Once the thickening action has started, adding more powder to increase the consistency leads to the formation of lumps: if the consistency is not enough, repeat the operation from the beginning with a greater quantity of powder.
To reduce the consistency, dilute with other liquid and mix well until a homogeneous preparation is obtained.
For semi-liquid foods: sprinkle the powder onto the food and mix until dissolved. After a couple of minutes, check the consistency obtained and, if the thickening effect is excessive, dilute with a little liquid. The thickening effect obtained remains constant and does not increase with the passage of time.
