Whether it’s suspending botanicals in the latest new-age energy drink, stabilizing protein in fruit smoothies, creating an indulgent creamy liqueur or recovering body in a reduced calorie beverage, the possibilities of stabilizers and texturizers are truly amazing.

At CP Kelco, innovation is key. Using groundbreaking methods like microbial fermentation, extraction from land and sea plants, and modification of cellulose-based raw materials, we’re changing the way polysaccharides are produced. And we’ve created quite a portfolio. CPKelco’s vast assortment of ingredients can take the most challenging – and creative – beverage prototypes from the lab to the shopping cart.

But for all the time we spend inside the lab, our ingredients are quite comfortable in the great outdoors. Which makes sense, since each product is derived from nature-based, renewable raw materials with minimal modification. Thanks to rheology control, these products can be used for thickening, suspension, stabilization and even gelation.

Rheology control has become a popular topic among developers. The amount of commercially available modifiers can be overwhelming, to say the least. So which rheology modifier is the right one for your product? A few factors should be considered, like the desired flow behavior or texture, the required shelf-life, the production equipment available, compatibility with other ingredients, and product end-use characteristics. It may seem intimidating, but don’t worry. That’s what we’re here for.

A traditional treat, water desserts continue to undergo transformation as consumers seek convenience and nutritional benefits in their snacks.

As classic indulgences evolve with new taste flavors and products, the top considerations for bakery jams and fillings formulation remain the same: the right ingredients and correct processing conditions to combat the inevitable challenges of texture, pumpability, heat stability and syneresis control.

The choice of ingredient often depends on the desired bake stability, percent of soluble solids, and processing conditions. We’re more than happy to help! Our experts can help you formulate for both pre-and post-bake products, such as:

  • Jam for doughnuts
  • Layer cake fillings
  • Breakfast bar fillings
  • Cookie fillings
  • Pie fillings
  • Pastry fillings

We believe that innovation is key. We offer vast nature-based and sustainable ingredient options, along with unique, global manufacturing methods and capabilities. We deliver the important building blocks to formulate bakery fillings with the desired functionality, appearance and flavor profiles consumers are looking for at the grocery store.

“Free from” is a major trend and many consumers want to cut things like gluten from their diets. But gluten is the most important protein group in baked goods and it comprises about 80% of the total protein in flour. When flour containing gluten is mixed with water the protein hydrates, forming a continuous network of fibers. This provides the dough with the strength and elasticity it needs to withstand cooking. That sounds like a lot of responsibility.

So, what happens when you stop using those gluten-laden flours? You get dense, flat, and unappealing baked goods. That’s where we come in.

KELTROL® Advanced Performance Xanthan Gum brings back these key missing properties in gluten-free products. So, put some fluff and structure back in your dough and consumers can enjoy gluten-free baked goods without sacrificing pleasure.

Fruits are wonderful but not always easy to work with and finding the perfect nature-based ingredients for fruit applications is not an easy task. The right ingredients are essential in fruit processing formulas to create the right texture at the right temperature, pH level, and solids level to perform well in the manufacturing and transportation process.

These ingredients also are key to impart heat stability and pumpability in bakery fillings, thermo-reversibility in bakery glazes, and starch reduction/replacement in both yogurt fruit preparations and bakery fillings.

When it comes to fruit applications, we offer extensive in-house expertise in nature-based ingredients, global lab capabilities, supported by technical experts working with a vast portfolio of nature-based, sustainable products.

Specifically, our extensive GENU® Pectin grades are well-recognized and respected for tailored performance in specific applications, as well as for consistent quality from batch to batch. These grades also are ideal for achieving a clean label – recognizable ingredients, with non-GMO options and/or organic compliance while preserving desired flavor, texture and appearance in your product.
