What it is

SeniorDeliのとろみ調整食品（クリアタイプ）は、飲料・汁物の味・色・外観を変えず、必要なIDDSI粘度に調整できます。キサンタンガムを主成分とし、温度変化に強く安定した粘度を保持します。

Designed for both clinical and home settings, Clear Thickener integrates seamlessly into daily care routines without requiring kitchen modifications. Healthcare professionals recommend it for patients across IDDSI Levels 1 to 4 because the xanthan gum base maintains its target viscosity throughout the meal — it does not continue to thicken after serving the way modified starch products do, reducing aspiration risk from over-thickened liquids.

Who uses it & when

Hospital inpatients with post-stroke dysphagia requiring precisely controlled liquid viscosity
Elderly residents in care homes who need thickened fluids throughout the day but resist opaque or flavoured thickeners
Patients with Parkinson's disease or ALS whose swallowing function fluctuates and who need daily titration
Home caregivers thickening morning tea, soup, or nutritional supplements for a family member
Speech-language pathologists running bedside swallowing assessments who need a consistent, measurable thickener
Paediatric patients with neurological conditions requiring thickened formula or milk
Nursing staff who prepare multiple drink rounds and need a fast-dissolving product to stay on schedule

主な特長

使用方法

Measure the liquid

Pour the desired liquid (water, tea, juice, milk, or soup) into a cup. Cold or warm liquids both work — under 60°C is recommended.

Add the thickener

Using the dosage table, measure the right amount of Clear Thickener and sprinkle evenly over the surface of the liquid.

Stir for 30 seconds

Stir briskly with a spoon or whisk for about 30 seconds until the powder is fully dissolved with no visible clumps.

Let it set

Let stand for 1 to 5 minutes (depending on target consistency) so the thickener can fully take effect, then serve.

原材料

Maltodextrin, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Chloride, Erythritol

Ingredient breakdown

Ingredient	INS / E-number	Function
Maltodextrin	INS 1400–1405	Carrier / dispersing aid — ensures even distribution before the xanthan gum activates
Xanthan Gum	INS 415	Primary thickening agent — produces a stable, shear-thinning viscosity profile that matches IDDSI flow criteria
Potassium Chloride	INS 508	Ionic stabiliser — prevents syneresis and maintains gel network integrity over time
Erythritol	INS 968	Texture modifier and mild sweetness balancer — zero glycaemic impact, suitable for diabetic patients

Source: Own R&D formulation; xanthan gum grade complies with GBA food-additive standards GB 2760.

保管方法

Store in a cool, dry place (below 25 °C) away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once opened, reseal tightly and use within 3 months. Shelf life: 24 months from date of manufacture (unopened). Do not refrigerate — condensation can cause clumping.

Compatible & not compatible

Works well with

✓Water, sparkling water
✓Hot and iced tea (including milk tea)
✓Fruit juices (apple, orange, mango, mixed)
✓Full-fat, skimmed, and plant-based milk (soy, almond, oat)
✓Nutritional supplements and oral nutrition drinks (e.g., Ensure, Fortisip)
✓Clear soups and broths
✓Coffee and cocoa drinks

Not recommended with

✗Highly acidic juices (pH < 3.5, e.g., concentrated lemon juice) — may reduce thickening efficacy; test before clinical use
✗Carbonated drinks — CO₂ release interferes with gel network; use with caution for Level 1 only
✗Alcoholic beverages above 14% ABV — ethanol partially inhibits xanthan gum hydration
✗Foods that are already gel-textured (jelly, pudding) — no benefit and may alter texture unpredictably

よくある質問

How long does it take for Clear Thickener to reach the target consistency?+

30 seconds of stirring is needed for full dissolution. The thickened liquid continues to stabilise over the next 1–5 minutes. For clinical use, allow 5 minutes before serving.

Can I use Clear Thickener in hot drinks?+

Yes — it works in liquids up to 60 °C. Above that temperature the xanthan gum begins to denature, which may reduce viscosity. For hot soup, let the liquid cool slightly before adding the thickener.

Why does my thickened drink look slightly foamy after stirring?+

Vigorous stirring can incorporate air bubbles. This is harmless — let the drink stand for 1–2 minutes and the foam dissipates naturally.

Will it change the taste of the drink?+

No. Clear Thickener is formulated to be flavour-neutral. The erythritol component provides a very mild, clean mouthfeel with no perceptible sweetness at clinical dosing levels.

Can it be used with tube-fed patients?+

No — Clear Thickener is designed for oral intake only. It is not suitable for enteral feeding tubes.

Does the thickener keep thickening over time?+

Unlike starch-based thickeners (which continue to thicken for 30+ minutes), xanthan gum reaches its target viscosity within 5 minutes and remains stable. This eliminates the risk of over-thickening after serving.

Is it safe for diabetic patients?+

Yes — the maltodextrin carrier is present at dosing levels (1–5 g per 100 ml) that contribute minimal glycaemic load. The erythritol component has zero glycaemic impact. Consult the patient's dietitian for individualised assessment.
