Texture Improvement

Crush Dynamics’ ingredients improve texture and consistency using natural fermentation

food texture

Improve texture naturally, without added complexity

Functional texture without extra additives

Crush Dynamics’ fermented ingredients help improve how food feels, not just how it tastes. By working with naturally occurring fibers and plant compounds, our solutions enhance smoothness, body, and consistency across a wide range of food and beverage applications.

Instead of relying on added gums, starches, or artificial texture agents, our ingredients deliver built-in functionality through fermentation. The result is food that feels richer, holds together better, and performs consistently over shelf life, all while supporting simpler, clean-label formulations.

Texture Improvement Mechanisms

Crush Dynamics’ ingredients improve texture in food formulations through several natural mechanisms tied to their composition and fermentation process:

Smooth and Creamy

Natural fibers help bind water and create a rich, smooth texture. This improves mouthfeel in sauces, dressings, dips, and plant-based products without relying on added gums.

Holds Together Better

Fermentation supports stable textures in high-moisture foods. Products stay blended and consistent over time, reducing separation and improving shelf performance.

Rich Feel, Less Fat

The ingredients deliver a satisfying, full mouthfeel that mimics fat. This allows for fat reduction while keeping products indulgent and enjoyable.

Fewer Add-Ins

Built-in thickening and structure reduce the need for gums and modified starches. This helps simplify formulations and support clean-label claims.

Applications

Crush Dynamics purées integrate seamlessly across a wide range of food and beverage applications, delivering better flavor, texture, and overall product performance.

Market Context

Growing consumer awareness of sensory food experiences has led to 57% of food buyers expressing that texture influences repeat purchases more than taste alone. (Source)

Why It Matters

Texture isn’t just feel — it shapes eating experience and satisfaction. It influences how consumers perceive quality, freshness, and even health attributes. Products with mismatched or weak texture can lead to lower purchase intent and weaker repeat buys (Source)

Consumer & Industry Shifts

Consumers now expect appealing mouthfeel while also demanding clean-label and natural formulations. As brands trim gums and artificial stabilizers, texture innovation has moved to the forefront of formulation to meet both sensory and label expectations. (Source)

Proposed Solution

Crush Dynamics’ fermented ingredients improve texture in foods naturally. They enhance body, smoothness, and consistency, helping formulators reduce reliance on gums and artificial textures while maintaining appealing mouthfeel and stability across applications.
