Description
Louis Francois Souflix is a professional thickener made from modified waxy maize starch, designed for fillings, sauces, soups, and other preparations that need smooth, stable texture. It offers strong water-binding, a creamy short texture, and reliable performance in acidic recipes, high-heat applications, and freeze-thaw conditions.
Use
Disperse gradually while stirring for even distribution. Souflix can be used in both cold and hot preparations and stays stable through cooking, chilling, freezing, and reheating.
Recommended Dosage
Use at 1 to 3% of total recipe weight, depending on the consistency and application you want.
Applications / Practical Uses
- Fruit fillings for tarts, pies, and pastries
- Sauces and soups that need a smooth, creamy consistency
- Tomato and barbecue sauces where acidity can affect texture
- Custards, puddings, and other creamy desserts
- Frozen entrées, gratins, and casseroles that need to hold texture after freezing and reheating
- Baby food and similar preparations where a smooth, uniform finish matters

Differences from Other Ingredients
Compared with some other starch-based thickeners, Souflix is especially useful when you need better stability under acidic conditions, freeze-thaw cycles, and mechanical shear. It is also a strong choice when you want a creamy texture with a cleaner, more transparent finish rather than a heavier or more opaque result.
Origin
