Products

Nalgin ULV is a very low viscosity product. Alginates are extracts derived from certain Brown Seaweeds (Kelp or Macrocystis).

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.

An economical lambda-like carrageenan for cold milk and water reconstituted beverage mixes. Provides suspension and body.

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.

Provides high viscosity and improved shear stability. Designed for UHT and retorted dairy applications such as canned nutritional drinks (e.g. diet and nutritional supplements). Similar to CM-61BF.

Nalgin HG is a high gel / medium 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.

Locust Bean Gum (LBG) is a Natural food additive derived from the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), prevalent in the Mediterranean region. The elongated pods of carob tree are coarsely ground, then separated as two fractions, pulp and seed. Locust bean gum, or LBG, is derived from the endosperm of the seed fraction. Product grades are determned by water viscosity, powder color/purity and particle size.

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.

Very cost-effective yield improvement system for case-ready tray pack raw poultry and red meat products. Best results are obtained through injection. Reduces cook loss and improves freeze-thaw stability.

An economical iota carrageenan which provides a very elastic, freeze-thaw stable gel where clarity is not required.

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.
