本研究提出了一种盲法试验的结果，对工业增稠剂的性能进行了测试。考虑的实验变量是商用稠化剂的品牌、液体的类型、所需的厚度和稠化时间。结果的成功是通过将稠度和味道与实际液体样品进行比较的数值评级来定义的。研究结果表明，没有一种商业增稠剂始终如一地产生理想的稠度或始终如一地优于味道。根据品牌、液体类型、所需的厚度和增稠时间的不同，是否能成功生产出某种稠度和“好味道”有所不同。建议针对每个品牌和要增稠的液体制定具体的配方。应该测试调味料以提高味道。
This study presents the results of a blinded lest of the performance of live commercial thickeners. Experimental variables considered are brand of commercial thickener, type of liquid, desired thickness, and thickening time. Success of outcome is defined by a numerical rating scale comparing the consistency and taste to actual liquid samples. The findings suggest that no one commercial thickener consistently produces a desired consistency or was consistently superior regarding taste. Success in producing certain liquid consistencies and ''good taste'' varied according to brand, type of liquid, desired thickness, and thickening time used. It is suggested that specific recipes be developed for each brand and liquid to be thickened. Flavorings should be tested to enhance taste.
