@simplythickjohn: "What if you add more thickener?" SimplyThickJohn gets this half a dozen times a week in the comments. So he tested it — 10 doses instead of the standard 4 for Extremely Thick, Level 4. Is it thicker? Yes. Is it dramatically thicker? No. His word: asymptotic. Past Extremely Thick, Level 4, adding more thickener gives you diminishing returns on thickness. What it does give you: more gummy, less apple juice flavor. "Adding more definitely suppresses the flavor more." Final answer: thicken to the prescribed level. More is not better — it just tastes worse. #dysphagia #iddsi #thickenedliquids #swallowingsafety #caregivers
Thank you simplythickjohn. I can sleep soundly tonight knowing that you can make apple juice thicker but not as much as people would think

I would imagine the limit is the viscosity of the thickener?

I have a question: I have worked with thickening agents before. But for printing-pastes not drinks. I learned that to thinn a paste out after thickening it, it's more effective to add a Salt-Solution (not Tablesalt/ NaCl) rather then normal water. Something about free Ions breaking the chains formed by the thickener. My question is: Does this aply to this thickener as well and/or are drinks with a lot of Salts/Ions/Electrolytes "harder" to thicken?

Thomas Steele :
That's really interesting, was it a design choice, so someone couldn't accidentally overthicken it or just a quirk of the thickener?

Does adding the thickener change the shelf life of any of these drinks? Or can they be made in advance and stored for convenience?
