Products

Nalgin ULV is a very low viscosity product. Alginates are extracts derived from certain Brown Seaweeds (Kelp or Macrocystis). Kelp is commonly found in the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and off the coast of California down through Chile. Alginic Acid exists naturally in the seaweed. Through the extraction and refining process alginic acid is converted to commercially functional Sodium Alginates. Sodium Alginates are used to produce heat-stable gels and to generate viscosity in a variety of fabricated foods, heat-stable fruit fillings, and cheese sauces.

Nalgin MV-120 is a medium viscosity / medium gel product. Alginates are extracts derived from certain Brown Seaweeds (Kelp or Macrocystis).

A kappa/lambda blend designed to stabilize HTST, low-fat, low-solids mixes (shakes, soft serve). Prevents separation of refrigerated liquid mix prior to being frozen. Typical use in soft serve mix is ~0.025 – ~0.03%.

Nalgin HG is a high gel / medium viscosity product. Alginates are extracts derived from certain Brown Seaweeds (Kelp or Macrocystis).

Sodium Alginates are used to produce heat-stable gels and to generate viscosity in a variety of fabricated foods, heat-stable fruit fillings, and cheese sauces.

Gellan gum is a polymer produced by fermentation of a medium by the microorganism Sphingomonas elodea. The extracellular polysaccharide is recovered after the fermentation process to produce either high acyl or low acyl gellan gum. High acyl gellan is directly recovered after fermentation via alcohol precipitation.

Nalgin 1000 is a very high viscosity product. Alginates are extracts derived from certain Brown Seaweeds (Kelp or Macrocystis). Kelp is commonly found in the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and off the coast of California down through Chile. Alginic Acid exists naturally in the seaweed. Through the extraction and refining process alginic acid is converted to commercially functional Sodium Alginates. Sodium Alginates are used to produce heat-stable gels and to generate viscosity in a variety of fabricated foods, heat-stable fruit fillings, and cheese sauces.

Tara gum is a seed gum similar to guar and locust bean gums. It is obtained from the ground endosperm of seeds from the Caesalpina spinosa plant, typically found in the mountains of Peru. Like guar and locust bean gums, tara gum is classified as a galactomannon and is composed of mannose and galactose sugars. The ratio of mannose to galactose is 3:1, where guar and locust bean gums are 2:1 and 4:1 respectively.

Injection/Tumbling – Fine Mesh, Natural Grade iota carrageenan. Provides good water binding and yield improvement without visible gel formation. Ideal for products intended for food service steam trays, i.e. fajita strips. Also available in suspension-stable S-100Fi version.

Brine suspension-stable version of MBF-36. Provides excellent suspension of particulates in the brine. It may be combined with a suitable auxiliary binder such as starch.

Xanthan 200 a fine mesh product with very rapid hydration making it suitable for dry mix formulations

Natural Grade regular mesh kappa carrageenan, ideal for frozen desserts, HTST chocolate milk, cottage cheese dressing and eggnog.

A carrageenan blend designed for HTST processed fruit topping systems where flow and cling are required along with clarity and good flavor release.

Cold swelling, iota carrageenan designed for fresh poultry and pork applications. Reduces package purge in refrigerated tray-packs, allows increased brine addition (to ~ 20%), reduces cook loss and improves juiciness in the finished product. Can be injected and/or tumbled. Typical use in ~0.2% based on finished weight.

Xanthan CG cosmetic grade xanthan that meets the specifications set forth in NF/USP. Suitable for cosmetic and personal care applications

Iota carrageenan typically used in imitation chocolate milk (whey/vegetable oil-based) with akappa carrageenan such as CM-9401. Also used in certain retorted nutritional beverages such as soy-based infant formulas. Cold swelling but low or non-gelling in water. (See Further Processed Meat & Poultry Section).

Gellan gum is a polymer produced by fermentation of a medium by the microorganism Sphingomonas elodea. The extracellular polysaccharide is recovered after the fermentation process to produce either high acyl or low acyl gellan gum. Low acyl (LA Gellan) gellan gum is instead treated with an alkali solution before the alcohol precipitation, consequently resulting in deacylation of the gellan gum.

Quik-Xan an agglomerated product that provides a combination of easy dispersion, rapid hydration, and very low dust

Pure iota, maximum syneresis control, high clarity, elastic gel.

A high viscosity water thickening carrageenan providing excellent body at low temperatures. Also suitable for cold milk systems.

Xanthan 80 a standard mesh product that is easy to disperse and hydrates rapidly

Complex blend of Natural Grade carrageenan with other gums and salts designed for controlled release of fragrance in water gel systems. Suitable for tub-type or self supporting gel containers. Often used with CMC for improved syneresis and freeze-thaw stability. Light gel color, very low odor.
