- Amylase resistance
- softia U contains amylase which breaks down starch in food. It reduces the stickiness of food containing starch such as potatoes or noodles. You can prepare many kinds of texture-modified food that patients with dysphagia wish to eat.
-
- Solidifies at 158℉
- To prepare texture-modified food, you blend food, broth/water, and softia U and then heat. If you wish to make a shape closer to the image of real food, you can make the shape that you want by using molds or plastic wrap. It starts to solidify at 158℉. If you refrigerate the mixture, it will solidify faster.
-
- Can be stored in the freezer
- If the amount of the food is not enough, blending may not work well. If you cook many portions at the same time, you can divide and store in the freezer.
