A stabilizer is a substance added to food or beverages to maintain or improve their stability, texture, and consistency by preventing or reducing changes that may occur during processing, storage, or transportation. Stabilizers help to maintain uniformity, prevent separation, and extend the shelf life of food products. They work by binding water molecules, forming a gel-like structure, or inhibiting crystallization or other physical changes. Common stabilizers include gums, pectin, carrageenan, agar-agar, and gelatin. These stabilizers are used in a wide range of food products, including dairy products, sauces, dressings, desserts, and beverages, to improve their texture, appearance, and overall quality.
