Paksendajaga

Paksendajaga is an Estonian term that translates roughly as "with a thickener." It is a compound formed from paksendaja, meaning thickener, and the comitative suffix -ga, producing the meaning "with a thickener." In Estonian, the comitative marks accompaniment or inclusion of an item within a mixture and is used to describe the composition of a substance or product.

The expression is used mainly in technical, labeling, or descriptive contexts to indicate that a product or formulation includes a thickening agent. It may appear in noun phrases such as "paksendajaga koostis" (composition with a thickener) or in sentences like "Toode sisaldab paksendajat" (The product contains a thickener). The specific thickening agent is usually named separately (for example, starch, xanthan gum, pectin, or gelatin).

In regulatory or consumer information contexts, the concept behind paksendajaga is to convey the presence of additives that alter viscosity, supporting transparency and informed choice. It does not identify the exact agent by itself; additional labeling would specify the particular thickener, often by its common name or E-number.
