Enhancing Texture and Structure: The Versatility of ELASTOVIN in Food Products

In the realm of food manufacturing, achieving the perfect texture and structure is often the key to creating products that stand out on the shelves and delight consumers' palates. Enter ELASTOVIN – a fine white or creamy powder that has become a cornerstone ingredient in a wide range of food products. Renowned for its versatility, ELASTOVIN plays a crucial role in enhancing texture and structure across various food applications, from noodles and pasta to sponge cakes and dairy desserts.

At its core, ELASTOVIN is prized for its ability to provide texture and structure to food products, making it an indispensable tool for food manufacturers seeking to create products with superior mouthfeel and consistency. Whether it's adding springiness to noodles or firmness to sponge cakes, ELASTOVIN's versatility knows no bounds.

One of ELASTOVIN's standout features is its stability at high temperatures and low pH, making it suitable for use in a wide range of food applications. In high-solid food applications such as noodles and breads, ELASTOVIN improves texture elasticity and decreases rehydration time, resulting in products that are not only springy but also maintain their firmness without becoming brittle. This is particularly beneficial in eggless cake premixes, where ELASTOVIN helps to reduce the content of whey protein concentrate (WPC) while maintaining the desired texture and structure.

Moreover, ELASTOVIN provides squeezability and spreadability in low-solid food applications such as squeezable snacks and gels. Its unique properties allow it to enhance the texture of these products, providing a delightful sensory experience for consumers.

Another noteworthy aspect of ELASTOVIN is its ability to yield a clean taste profile and quick meltability, making it suitable for application in dairy systems. Whether it's dairy desserts or reformed foods, ELASTOVIN enhances the overall taste and texture of these products, ensuring a satisfying experience for consumers.

It was a peaceful morning, the birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, it was the perfect day for a nap, The sun rays felt very calming, and i was at peace, sleeping...or you wish it was. There we're a lot of things going through your mind, and you felt really sick, your mind was spinning and everything was piling up, you swore you couldn't take it anymore, so you decided to just take a nap! Maybe your headache would be gone when you woke up..right?

"Ugh.." you groaned, slowly opening your eyelids to turn off your alarm, it was 2:34 P.M..a 2 hour nap, well, that's nice at least.

You turn off your alarm, and put a hand to your head, feeling the headache slowly coming back..you had the feeling that this one was going to be worse than before. You get up, put on your sandals and your pants, and got downstairs.

In the living room, there was Axe, he had a worried look on his face as he was muttering something under his breath.

"Hey Axe" you said, your voice a bit groggy thanks to the nap you just had; His heads turns in your direction and he smiles a little.

"Oh..there you are! I was..worried." He said, looking more relaxed than before, his clothes were dirty since he just got back from a mission with the others.

"Huh? Why? Did something happened?" You said, staring to worry a little, now that you think of it, where were the other guys? They should be here..right?

"It's nuthin'.. Ash got injured and the others..are taking care......of him." He says, he dusted his clothes off and went to the kitchen.

"Wait..what do you mean by "Ash got injured"? Is he in a stable condition?"

"Yeah, he just got send flying...and facepalmed the floor." He said, trying to hide his chuckle. your face showed many emotions at the same time, but in the end you just sighed and went to the side of Axe

"What are you making?" You looked inside the bowl that was on the counter, in was all just dough.

"I dunno..pudding I think" You slowly looked at him with a "what do you mean by that" written all over your face, you looked through the counter, noticing the premix box of sponge cake. "Oh, I can help you with that, I know how to do it" you said, eager to help, "did you put the 3 eggs, 1/4 of oil and 1 cup of milk?" He nodded, paying attention to you. You continue to guide him through the process, and at the end, you both had a nice and warm sponge cake.

It was around 4 p.m when Pesadilla, Killer, X and Ash showed up, they all were chatting about different things, Ash had some band aids on his face and killer was poking fun at him.

They all went to the kitchen, but stopped when they saw you and Axe eating the sponge cake and drinking tea, you both looked at them and at each other. You stood up and walked over to Ash, giving him a hug "are you alright? Nothing to bad happened, right?" He looked at you and hugged you back, "nah. Just some minor scratches, nuthin' to bad. Didn't loose much HP." "Hey, I want a hug too.." killer said, pushing one of dust arms out and hugging you. "Group hug? Awesome." X said, hugging you too, Axe stood up and hugged everyone.

Pesadilla went to the table and grabbed a slice of the sponge cake, holding the plate with his tentacles and eating it. "Who made this?" He asked "Axe." "You helped.." "you did it." You bicker back and forth, lovingly of course. "You should make more of these..they taste pretty good." "Probably because it was a premix" you said, Axe smacked the back of your head slightly "I'm not saying you're a bad cook!" You rubbed the back of your head, everyone when to where Pesadilla was, and grabbed a slice of sponge cake, they all complimented both, you and Axe. "You both make a good cooking group." X said, about to grab another slice, but pesadilla pushed his hand away with his tentacle, saying that "that slice is for Strings." X rolled his eyes and drank some chocolate milk he prepared.

Since that day, Axe prepared the meals, while you prepared the pastries. Sometimes he helped you, even tho you didn't need help. He loved helping you. He's such a loving dork.

The slice that was saved for Strings didn't get eaten by them, but by X. Later that day X was hanging upside down, being held by blue strings, while Strings was enjoying a whole Sponge cake, while looking at him.

Repair Wall After Removing Ceramic Tile

Repair Wall After Removing Ceramic Tile TIPS

Wall must be flat & smooth or tile will telegraph defects

Do NOT use cheap pre-mixed spackling or drywall mud for repair

WATCH repair videos below

Patching compound MUST BE waterproof

CLICK HERE to Get Tim's FREE & FUNNY Newsletter!

DEAR TIM: We’re in the home stretch of a delightful bathroom remodel job. One of the final steps is to install subway ceramic tile as the backsplash above the dual-bowl sink.

The plaster wall above the new granite top needs to be repaired. After we removed the old ceramic tile there were giant holes.

My husband is in a hurry and wants to do the patch fast with a pre-mixed product that comes in a tub from the local big box store. I want your expert opinion as to the best way to repair the massive depressions in the wall from where old trim tile pieces were removed.

Do we need to remove the old hardened glue from the walls too? Pam L., Columbus, OH

DEAR PAM: I’m humbled that you feel the expert opinion will emanate from my fingertips as I type this!

Countless Wall Repairs

The truth be told I’ve been in the exact situation you’re now facing countless times while working in paying customers’ homes. The tile style changes from year to year, but the method of getting the wall ready for the tile has not changed.

High-Gloss Tile Shows Wall Defects

Let’s first talk about high-gloss finish ceramic tile first before we go much farther. We need to do this to slow down your husband so he keeps the key out of the car’s ignition as he tries to get to the big box store.

Have you ever noticed how a small dent in the door of a new car stands out like a sore thumb? The paint may not be chipped or scratched, but you can clearly see the inward depression.

Free & Fast Bids

CLICK HERE to get FREE & FAST BIDS from local tile contractors who can do this repair for you.

Light Reflection

This happens on high gloss surfaces like car paint because the reflected light off the metal is bent by the dent. In other words, high gloss finishes are unforgiving if the surface beneath the gloss is not in the same plane.

Wall Must Be Flat & Smooth

If you want every aspect of your bathroom remodeling to be gorgeous, you need to be sure the wall surface under the tile is not only perfectly smooth, it needs to be in the same plane. If the subway tile pieces are not in the same plane on a flat surface, they’ll reflect light differently and it will look like a drunk tile setter installed them.

Here are the two monster defects in Pam's wall. See that uneven old yellow adhesive? It's got to go. Copyright 2017 Tim Carter

Repair Wall Early

I see by the photos you sent that the new granite top and faucets are installed. This is going to make the job of repairing the wall much harder as you work around these finished items. The wall repair should have been done long before the cabinet, top and faucets were installed.

Chain Of Adhesion

You also need to be concerned with what I call the chain of adhesion. What’s that old saying? “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” I can clearly see in your photo that you’ve got traditional plaster applied to gypsum lath panels nailed to the wall studs.

For the tile to stay affixed to the wall for decades, the bond between all the wall elements needs to be as strong as possible. The pre-mixed compounds I see in the big box stores contain very weak glues in almost all cases. What’s worse is some of the glues in these products are water soluble. Premixed drywall joint compound and common spackling are great examples of products with these weak glues.

Cheap Products Not Waterproof

Once these two products are dry, you can dissolve them by rubbing them with a wet sponge. Rub your plaster walls for days with a wet sponge and nothing happens except for you getting blisters and sore muscles. Plaster is waterproof and it bonds tenaciously to just about anything.

Remove Old Adhesive

Here’s how I’d proceed to make your walls ready for the stunning subway tile I’m sure you’ve selected. First you need to purchase some liquid adhesive remover.

Here's a great adhesive and mastic remover. Don't use just any adhesive remover. It needs to say it's made for tile mastic. CLICK THE IMAGE NOW to have this delivered to your home in days.

This product brushes on much like liquid paint remover. it’s imperative you protect the granite top and  faucets and any other finished item like the front of the vanity cabinets from this harsh chemical.

CLICK HERE to get FREE & FAST BIDS from local tile contractors who can do this repair for you.

Follow Directions

Follow the directions and get all the old yellowed tile glue off the plaster exposing the original white lime finish plaster. Once it’s off, now it’s time to start to repair the deep depressions.

Traditional Base Plaster

Purchase a bag of Structolite base plaster. You can get this online or from a local building supply store. Be sure the holes in the wall have all loose material removed and brush away and dust.

This is a fantastic gypsum base-coat plaster. You just mix it with water and it really sticks to wallboard and other old gypsum plaster. CLICK THE IMAGE NOW to have this bag at your doorstep in days.

Mix up the Structolite plaster per directions on the bag. You want it to be the consistency of somewhat stiff applesauce.

Structolite Mixing Video

Watch this video to see how to mix Structolite. For small amounts you can just mix by hand with a stiff 3-inch broad scraping knife.

  Take a wet sponge and lightly pat the old base plaster in the hole to get it slightly damp just before you’re ready to apply the Structolite. Pack in the new plaster being sure to keep the new plaster 1/8-inch lower than the existing white lime plaster finish you exposed once you removed the old glue.

Use a straightedge to ensure the Structolite is lower than the old white lime plaster. Allow the Structolite to cure for one day.

Finish With Durabond 90

The next day fill in the slight depression and all other tiny holes in the plaster wall with Durabond 90. This is a dry-setting joint compound that’s much like the white lime finish plaster on the wall.

This is the dry setting joint compound I prefer. It mixes easily with water. Use COLD water to slow set time. Mix until it's like warm cake icing. CLICK THE PHOTO NOW TO HAVE THIS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME. NO NEED TO FIGHT TRAFFIC AND RUDE SHOPPERS.

Mix it with water to the consistency of warm cake icing so it’s silky smooth. You only have 90 minutes to work with it before it gets hard. You can use cold water to slow the hardening process.

Take your time and be sure the wall surface is as smooth as glass and in the same plane. Use a long straightedge or metal level to help you locate small depressions that may exist in the old white plaster finish. Fill those with the Durabond 90 product so the final surface under the new subway tile is as flat as possible.

Durabond 90 Video

Watch this video to get an idea of how to work with quick-setting plaster or setting compound.

Have you ever noticed how a small dent in the door of a new car stands out like a sore thumb? The paint may not be chipped or scratched, but you can clearly see the inward depression.

Light Reflection

This happens on high gloss surfaces like car paint because the reflected light off the metal is bent by the dent. In other words, high gloss finishes are unforgiving if the surface beneath the gloss is not in the same plane.

Wall Must Be Flat & Smooth

If you want every aspect of your bathroom remodeling to be gorgeous, you need to be sure the wall surface under the tile is not only perfectly smooth, it needs to be in the same plane. If the subway tile pieces are not in the same plane on a flat surface, they’ll reflect light differently and it will look like a drunk tile setter installed them.

Repair Wall Early

I see by the photos you sent that the new granite top and faucets are installed. This is going to make the job of repairing the wall much harder as you work around these finished items. The wall repair should have been done long before the cabinet, top and faucets were installed.

Chain Of Adhesion

You also need to be concerned with what I call the chain of adhesion. What’s that old saying? “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” I can clearly see in your photo that you’ve got traditional plaster applied to gypsum lath panels nailed to the wall studs.

For the tile to stay affixed to the wall for decades, the bond between all the wall elements needs to be as strong as possible. The pre-mixed compounds I see in the big box stores contain very weak glues in almost all cases. What’s worse is some of the glues in these products are water soluble. Premixed drywall joint compound and common spackling are great examples of products with these weak glues.

Cheap Products Not Waterproof

Once these two products are dry, you can dissolve them by rubbing them with a wet sponge. Rub your plaster walls for days with a wet sponge and nothing happens except for you getting blisters and sore muscles. Plaster is waterproof and it bonds tenaciously to just about anything.

Remove Old Adhesive

Here’s how I’d proceed to make your walls ready for the stunning subway tile I’m sure you’ve selected. First you need to purchase some liquid adhesive remover.

Here's a great adhesive and mastic remover. Don't use just any adhesive remover. It needs to say it's made for tile mastic. CLICK THE IMAGE NOW to have this delivered to your home in days.

This product brushes on much like liquid paint remover. it’s imperative you protect the granite top and  faucets and any other finished item like the front of the vanity cabinets from this harsh chemical.

Follow Directions

Follow the directions and get all the old yellowed tile glue off the plaster exposing the original white lime finish plaster. Once it’s off, now it’s time to start to repair the deep depressions.

Traditional Base Plaster

Purchase a bag of Structolite base plaster. You can get this online or from a local building supply store. Be sure the holes in the wall have all loose material removed and brush away and dust.

This is a fantastic gypsum base-coat plaster. You just mix it with water and it really sticks to wallboard and other old gypsum plaster. CLICK THE IMAGE NOW to have this bag at your doorstep in days.

Mix up the Structolite plaster per directions on the bag. You want it to be the consistency of somewhat stiff applesauce.

Structolite Mixing Video

Watch this video to see how to mix Structolite. For small amounts you can just mix by hand with a stiff 3-inch broad scraping knife.

  Take a wet sponge and lightly pat the old base plaster in the hole to get it slightly damp just before you’re ready to apply the Structolite. Pack in the new plaster being sure to keep the new plaster 1/8-inch lower than the existing white lime plaster finish you exposed once you removed the old glue.

Use a straightedge to ensure the Structolite is lower than the old white lime plaster. Allow the Structolite to cure for one day.

Finish With Durabond 90

The next day fill in the slight depression and all other tiny holes in the plaster wall with Durabond 90. This is a dry-setting joint compound that’s much like the white lime finish plaster on the wall.

This is the dry setting joint compound I prefer. It mixes easily with water. Use COLD water to slow set time. Mix until it's like warm cake icing. CLICK THE PHOTO NOW TO HAVE THIS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME. NO NEED TO FIGHT TRAFFIC AND RUDE SHOPPERS.

Mix it with water to the consistency of warm cake icing so it’s silky smooth. You only have 90 minutes to work with it before it gets hard. You can use cold water to slow the hardening process.

Take your time and be sure the wall surface is as smooth as glass and in the same plane. Use a long straightedge or metal level to help you locate small depressions that may exist in the old white plaster finish. Fill those with the Durabond 90 product so the final surface under the new subway tile is as flat as possible.

Repair Wall After Removing Ceramic Tile

DEAR TIM: We’re in the home stretch of a delightful bathroom remodel job. One of the final steps is to install subway ceramic tile as the backsplash above the dual-bowl sink. The plaster wall above the new granite top needs to be repaired. After we removed the old ceramic tile there were giant holes. My husband is in a hurry and wants to do the patch fast with a pre-mixed product that comes in a tub from the local big box store. I want your expert opinion as to the best way to repair the massive depressions in the wall from where old trim tile pieces were removed. Do we need to remove the old hardened glue from the walls too? Pam L., Columbus, OH

DEAR PAM: I’m humbled that you feel the expert opinion will emanate from my fingertips as I type this! The truth be told I’ve been in the exact situation you’re now facing countless times while working in paying customers’ homes.
