Emulsifier specialist Palsgaard helps the global food industry make the most of the ability to mix oil and water.

Thanks to the company’s specialised emulsifiers (and emulsifier/stabiliser systems), bakery, confectionery, condiments, dairy, ice cream, margarine and meat producers can improve the quality and extend the shelf-life of their products. Just as importantly, they can produce better-for-you products with improved taste, mouthfeel and texture while using less resources.

Since its founder Einar Viggo Schou invented the modern plant-based food emulsifier in 1917, Palsgaard has offered the industry know-how and innovation. From its six application centres around the world Palsgaard’ s experienced food technologists help manufacturers optimise existing recipes and develop delicious products with better nutritional profiles. 

Palsgaard helps manufacturers meet consumer and regulatory demands for greater responsibility, helping them grow and protect their brands. It is currently the world’s only commercial source of fully sustainable, emulsifiers based on RSPO SG-certified palm oil and produced by CO2-neutral factories in Denmark, the Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil, China and Malaysia. The company’s products are non-GMO and meet halal and kosher requirements.

In addition to its food emulsifiers, Palsgaard supplies the polymers industry with a series of plant-based, food-grade polymer additives, which are particularly suited for preventing fogging and dust on plastic packaging.

Advances in emulsifiers for bakery

06 Sep 2017 --- Palsgaard presented cake mix concepts at IFT 2017 made with sustainably sourced emulsifiers that are PHO-free. Rosa Regalado of Palsgaard explains: “A lot of the work that we have been doing is in the bakery sector. We have a unique extrusion technology. The base of that is that we have rice starch as a carrier and then we have the emulsifier fully activated surrounding the surface of the starch. This is an emulsifier in powder form that is ready to use and fully activated, but can just blend it with your dry ingredients. That makes it perfect for cake mixes, where we have a concept where all the customer has to do is add oil, water and eggs.” She stressed that the company has also made sure that these concepts are in compliance with the regulation around PHOs and are also free from saturated fats.

Creating the All-round Solution for Chocolate

Nevertheless, PGPR can offer much more than cost savings – such as a much less complicated day to day production in a chocolate factory for one. In this article other processing advantages by using PGPR will be explored. To benefit from these advantages, it is, however, necessary that the PGPR is of high quality.

The Ideal Cake Emulsifier – One Product Does it All

04 Mar 2013 --- Cake emulsifiers are vital ingredients in cakes due to the complicated interaction with the other ingredients such as eggs, flour, sugar, milk powder, oil, cocoa etc. Often several cake emulsifiers are used to create the desired variety of cakes and this makes the production more complicated due to the handling of several ingredients, and result in a very long list of ingredients on the label. Palsgaard decided to see if it were possible to create a single cake emulsifier, able to meet these challenges. The result: Emulpals® 110.
