Gums
This is a category of multi-purposed additives that act to thicken, emulsify and stabilize products
Our gums include: Gum Arabic, Gum Tragacanth, Tylose
Humectants
These additives prevent foods from drying out by counteracting low humidity.
Our humectants include: Dextrose, Fondant Powder, Gum Arabic, Gum Tragacanth, Glycerine, Popylene Glycol, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Sorbitol, Tylose, Xylitol
Leavening Agents
Also called “raising agents”, these substances liberate gases within a dough or batter, thus increasing its volume
Our leavening agents include: Ammonium Bicarbonate, Ammonium Carbonate, Barley Malt Powder, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Tartaric Acid Granules
Miscellaneous
Some ingredients just don’t fit nicely into any of the more precise or technical categories, but we’re happy to provide them nonetheless!
Our miscellaneous ingredients include: Calcium Lactate Gluconate, Fondant Powder, Ribofavin Glow
Modified Starches
Edible starches are treated with enzymes, acids or alkalis to create modified starches for particular applications.
Our modified starches include: Crisp Coat, Instant Clearjel
Sequestrants
A type of preservative, a sequestrant improves the stability of food by forming chelate complexes with metal ions. As an example, sequestrants can prevent the oxidation of fats.
Our modified starches include: Citric Acid, Glucono Delta Lactone, Sodium Citrate, Sorbitol, Tartaric Acid Granules
Stabilizers
These additives help to preserve the structure of food products. Examples include preventing separation of oil and water, inhibiting ice crystal formation and slowing the settling of solids in gelatinous foods like jams.
Our stablizers include: Calcium Sulfate, Foam Stabilizer, Glucono Delta Lactone, Glucose Syrup, Ice Cream Stabilizer, Invertase Maxinvert, Lecithin Powder & Liquid, Malic Acid, Meringue Powder, Potassium Carbonate, Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Citrate, Sorbet Stabilizer, Sorbitol Powder & Liquid, Tapioca Maltodextrin, Versa Whip, Whipped Cream Stabilizer
Sweeteners
No surprise here, this group of ingredients provide sweetness in the flavor profile of the products in which they are utilized.
Our sweeteners include: Dextrose, Fructose, Icing Sugar, Invert Sugar, Isomalt, Maltitol Powder & Syrup, Mannitol, Xylitol
Thickeners
These additives increase the viscosity (thickness) of food products.
Our thickeners include: Agar Agar, Calcium Chloride, Carrageenan (Iota, Kappa, Lambda), CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose), G-Pectin Powder, Gellan Gum, Guar Gum, Glucose Powder, Glycerol Monostearate, Instant Clearjel, Instant Thick, Locust Bean Gum, Methylcellulose, Pectins, Potato Starch, Sodium Alginate, Tapioca Maltodextrin, Ultra-Sperse M, Ultratex Tapioca Starch, Xanthan Gum
