Food additive Gratix is a powder that contains only natural cellulose (fiber) in its composition. Cellulose is the main component of the cell walls of plants and performs many different functions: protective, plastic, storage, etc.
The human body (unlike animals), fiber can not be absorbed, but its presence in food plays a positive role, improving the health of the digestive tract and the quality of peristalsis. The state of the human intestinal microflora directly depends on the presence of cellulose in the body, and it also acts as a kind of “brush”, cleansing the intestinal surface from adhesions, removes toxins and cholesterol.
The addition of the Gratix component during the production of dairy products (various yogurts, ice cream, cheese) does not affect in any way the organoleptic characteristics of the resulting products. In this case, the calorie content of the product is reduced.
Gratix is actively used in cheese-making as an anti-caking agent for sliced and grated cheese.
