Can this be put into a drink--say a whole bottle of juice and allowed to sit in the refrigerator without continuing to thicken too much.

Yes i think that might work for a while but maybe not for days. I would just shake it each time. Maybe try with a smaller bottle than a gallon the first time. I know when our coffee sits at room temp with thick-it in it, after a while (hours) it gets like gravy or jello like. The professional/commercial drinks in the hospital that have it in it are always in the fridge and seem to be ok. Hopes this helps. We usually use the thick-it right away at meals

Hi Martha..I found that thick-it would get thicker as it was being used. I never made it ahead of time for that reason..also I would imagine what stage the person is in meaning how thick the drink or food would have to be. Maybe you try a small container of juice to try. I hope this helps if I can be of any more help please feel free to ask. I took care of my husband for many years. Mary Lou

The longer it sits the thicker it gets. It's better to thicken by the glass.

You need to use a different type of thickener to maintain the same thickness for more than short time. I combine food starch thickener such as ThickIt with a gum-based thickener such as Resource Thicken Up Clear, which uses xanthan gum. The thickness is maintained overnight, useful for drinks of water during the night, but not much more time than that. To keep for a long time, you'd need to buy the pre-thickened juices available at high cost, useful for travel, perhaps, but pretty expensive to use at home.

I have no idea on what the results will be. Once I put the thickner in the glass I drink it immediately.

Thick-It instructions do say consume within 30 minutes for best results. I haven't tried using the thickened beverage more than an hour after preparation and it has worked. I find that I have to stir it up during the drinking process as the surface liquid is thinner that what is in the bottom of the glass. I just stir between drinks. This product is meeting our needs to help my husband swallow his morning pills which can take up to half an hour to complete.

You probably could use it with milk instead of water, because it works nicely flavoring iced teas, etc., but you'd have to make sure it stayed refrigerated because milk could go south quickly. Remember that you are going to get a fruit essence to your liquid, not a sweet "juice" from it.

I think so. I do believe that you would have to add a preservative in order to keep is safe to drink.

I wouldn't. That's really not what it was designed for. I really would stick to water for this bottle. You could put a thin liquid like juice in it, but there's so many little places that would have to be cleaned out after each use. It would be a lot of extra work.

No. It should be available for drink without filtering. However, once opened, water shall be consumed in relatively short period. Only sealed condition means for long-time storage.

Yes you can. My LFS does this with unopened bottles. Of course it is MUCH cheaper on Amazon. This stuff works very well to cycle your tank.

You could. Just place it in a vacuum pack. It will keep fresh tasting. I do not freeze it for longer than a month or two at the most. Haven't had any problem with the taste after thawing it in the fridge.

yes you can add it with any drink you like or juice,just put 10 drops into any liquid that you would like to drink water or just drinks no liquor at all have a blessed day god bless you all pastor John Vera

I would think the liquor can stay indefinitely, but I save the original bottles to empty them back into. As for the juices, no you don't have to empty them right after use. Most juice bottles say to use within 14 days. As long as they are kept cold, we just empty the oj or cranberry out of the next couple days if necessary.

If it is thicker than water, you will need to take out the strainer that comes with the bottle. If the drink is like a smoothie and you can get it into the bottle, then it should be fine so long as the it isn't too thick. Worst scenario, just use a straw like you would with a smoothie!

Not really. That's what I bought it for but it makes more if a pure. Need to add a lot of water to get to a juice consistency.

I would not keep the fruit in the holder for more than 3 refrigerated days, especially with raspberries or strawberries. Fruit like lemons, limes, or oranges can be left in longer. If I pour out a glass to drink, what I do is immediately fill it with another glass of fresh water. That way, the new water will infuse with the water and fruit already in it. I would not wait until the water is all gone to refill. In other words, fill the pitcher as you drink. If you notice the pitcher water getting quite weak, depending on how much you drink in a day, then it is time for more fresh fruit. Experience for yourself and have fun and happy drinking.!.

I would imagine it can be removed but I would not worry about it. I have a bottle of lemon juice in my refrigerator now that was sold in a plastic bottle. I use it mainly for whisky and a lot of small containers of whisky are sold in plastic bottles now. I think the plastic used now is more stable and less likely to deteriorate and contaminate the product you are storing in it.

Yes. You can juice with the spout up and save all your liquid in the tray or juice with the spout down directly into a glass or bowl.

It will make a dense unfiltered apple drink which you probably wouldn't recognize as juice. On the other hand if you put a whole apple in with water it might make a thinner concoction

Yes you could but juice starts to lose beneficial enzymes the longer it sits.

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great
