Certifications Back Our Personal Care Solutions

In an industry where words like “natural” and “organic” are frequently touted, transparency matters. That’s why CP Kelco relies on the backing of well-respected, third-party certifications with strict standards. They provide our customers with an extra layer of trust that our ingredients are aligned with your goals of product safety, animal welfare, ethics and origin.

The mission behind the COSMOS® seal is to create an international standard for identifying natural and organic products. The seal ensures environmentally friendly production and processing as well as responsible use of natural resources and a respect for biodiversity.

NATRUE® certification, from the International Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association, signifies that a product contains only 100% natural, natural-derived or nature-identical substances.

B Corp. Certification from the nonprofit B Lab is one of the most trusted in the world. It speaks to a company’s overall environmental and social impact. Using a rigorous assessment, it verifies that the company operates with transparency, integrity and is structured to be accountable to all stakeholders, from employees to suppliers and the planet. Zanea Seaweed Co., our seaweed raw material supplier for the GENU® Carrageenan family recently achieved this honor – a first for this space.

In addition, all our manufacturing facilities meet the strict requirements to be halal and kosher certified.

Innovative Concepts in Ambient Drinking Yogurt

Ambient drinking yogurts (ADY) are fermented dairy or plant protein-based products which undergo an extra heat treatment that provides them with the benefit of a long shelf life:

  • Less food is lost to spoilage. Many yogurt products are thrown out simply because of the short “best by” date on the label so this is a giant step towards reducing food waste.
  • Consumers appreciate the convenience of having a protein snack that doesn’t require refrigeration. This means it can easily be stored in a school lunchbox, backpack or gym bag without worry.
  • By extension, a longer shelf life can mean improved production and distribution efficiencies, no special storage requirements, raw material and energy savings, as well as increased profitability for manufacturers.

Innovation shines in the ADY category through a variety of novel flavors, textures and formats that appeal to all ages. Here are the trends we are seeing:

  1. Functional ADY: Supporting consumers’ health and wellness with protein, dietary fiber, digestion and immunity support, and vitamins.
  2. ADY with Particulates: Fruit pieces, grains and other additions provide nutrition as well as a fun, dual texture experience.
  3. Clean Label-Friendly: Simpler formulations with no added sugar or reduced sugar and “natural” ingredient claims.
  4. Variety of Textures & Packaging Preferences: From refreshingly light to rich and indulgent textures to reach every consumer’s taste, as well as new aseptic cartons, pouches and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) packaging. This personalization trend addresses everyone’s preferred consumption occasion with convenience.
  5. Expanded ADY Applications: The extension of ADY applications from consumer packaged goods (CPG) to the foodservice channel creates new innovation opportunities, such as milk-tea-juice-yogurt drinks, offering a tasty balance of sweet and sour with protein to meet consumer demand for healthier beverages at the chain store level.

Formulating for Ambient Drinking Yogurt

CP Kelco can help formulators innovate using a portfolio of nature-based ingredient solutions for dairy yogurt or plant-based yogurt alternatives, such as…

  • GENU® Pectin for protein protection during heat treatment, stability, suspension, texture enhancement, syneresis control and a pleasant mouthfeel.
  • KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum for suspension of particles and insoluble minerals, syneresis control and added texture.
  • NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber, is upcycled from citrus peels, a byproduct of the juice industry. It supports fiber intake as well as starch replacement, syneresis control, body and mouthfeel.

Unlock Affordability: 6 Ways to Get More Value Out of Your Formulations

In today’s dynamic market, consumers are looking for more out of their food and beverages. They have an eye on health and wellbeing, sustainability, affordability – and indulgence. In a nutshell, they want it all! How can product developers deliver on these challenging demands and innovate with transparency?

We have developed six strategies to help you unlock added value in your formulations. See how efficient multifunctional, nature-based ingredients can be in solving top challenges without compromising the consumer experience.

1. Reduce sugar (and improve your Nutri-Score)

Between consumer requests, government regulations, taxes, scoring systems and fluctuating sugar prices, there is a rise in demand for products with less sugar.

Product developers know that it can be challenging to reformulate with less sugar and still achieve the pleasurable eating and drinking experience that consumers crave. But healthier indulgence is possible. In fruit-flavored drinks, our GENU® Pectin is great for adding viscosity and enhancing fruity flavors, and our NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can help compensate for body and mouthfeel that is usually lacking in reduced-sugar content. GENU® Pectin is also tolerant to calcium and minerals in functional gummies, which helps enable sugar-free formulations with soft and chewy texture, excellent flavor release and heat stability. In reduced sugar beverages, like fruit juices and dairy alternatives, our KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum can add long-term stability and suspension, and our KELTROL® Xanthan Gum works well across a wide pH range, both adding full-bodied mouthfeel for a better drinking experience.

2. Cut the fat

For flavor, texture, mouthfeel and moisture control, fat and oils play a critical role in the formulations of baked goods, condiments and beverages. However, health concerns and surging prices have both customers and consumers asking for ways to use less.

NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can help product developers extend or eliminate fats and butter in baked goods, without compromising structure and moisture. Its high water-holding and gelling properties can also support starch replacement in condiments as well as improve texture. In low-fat dairy applications, SIMPLESSE® Microparticulated Whey Protein Concentrate add creaminess as well as extra protein. SLENDID® Specialty Pectin, which was developed to be a label-friendly fat reducer, helps to provide creamy texture and mouthfeel to low-fat and non-fat condiments, beverages, dairy products and more.

3. Preserve your fruit supply

Consumers find fruit-flavored drinks to be an enjoyable way to get in an extra serving of fruits, vegetables and immunity-boosting vitamins. However, these beverages are dependent on Mother Nature and crops subject to varying climate conditions and other factors that affect price.

NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can help stretch your fruit supply without compromising the drinking experience. Upcycled from citrus peels, an abundant byproduct of the juice industry, this easily recognizable ingredient offers a full-circle approach to build back mouthfeel so formulators can reduce reliance on citrus pulp and sugar. In addition to being a clean label-friendly solution, NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber helps meet market demands while supporting your ingredient reduction and sustainability goals.

4. Let us help you use less egg

There are many reasons why a product developer might want to reduce the use of eggs in formulations. Egg supply and pricing continues to be volatile so saving money and conserving your supply would be prudent. You may also want to reduce potential allergens in your product or explore vegan line extensions.

KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum stabilizes vegan liquid egg alternatives, balancing mouthfeel and resilience so it is versatile enough to use for breakfast dishes or baking. NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can also help reduce or replace eggs in baked goods and condiments, including in a vegan mayonnaise-like* dressing.

5. Extend what you have

Stretch your supply without compromising on the eating experience. NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can help extend tomato solids up to 25% in tomato sauce, according to our internal lab studies, without experiencing loss of mouthfeel, texture, color or appearance.

6. Clean up your label

If you are looking to reduce the number of ingredients on your product label, we may be able to help. KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum can help solve multiple beverage challenges, such as suspension and mouthfeel in dairy alternatives. NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can help you reduce or replace starch, sugar, egg, oil and xanthan gum in applications like condiments, dressings and baked goods. Or, if you want to develop vegan recipes, GENU® Pectin can be an alternative to animal-based gelatin in gummies. It also can replace starch in yogurt alternatives, helping to reduce a step for potential cost savings and allow for one less ingredient on the label.

Cellulose gum or carboxy methylcellulose (CMC) is an additive used in many food and beverage formulations to thicken, bind and emulsify. However, it may be perceived by consumers as not being clean label-friendly or “natural.” And for product developers, there may be challenges with supply reliability.

Depending on the functionality you are trying to achieve in your application, CP Kelco may have alternative ingredients that can help. Reformulation can even present an opportunity to save by using fewer ingredients overall, lowering cost in use, and cleaning up your label with nature-based, vegan-friendly ingredients. For example, easily recognizable GENU® Pectin is a label-friendly alternative that offers protein protection, great mouthfeel, texture and viscosity. KELTROL® Xanthan Gum is a workhorse ingredient that can provide mouthfeel and add viscosity. KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum can help you solve syneresis problems while offering stability, texture and mouthfeel. As an Upcycled Certified® ingredient*, NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can help you meet your sustainability goals as it supports mouthfeel, viscosity and syneresis control.

ATLANTA (Nov. 21, 2023) – CP Kelco, a global leader of nature-based ingredient solutions, is heading to Food Ingredients Europe (FiE) in Frankfurt this Nov. 28–30. Attendees are invited to “Indulge with No Compromise” as the company showcases innovative prototypes and discusses the latest texture trends at Booth 3.0C40, next to Azelis.

“With the demands and stresses of our daily lives, consumers are turning to indulgent food and beverages for comfort.

CP Kelco will show how it is possible to achieve indulgent texture in products that are “good for you” and good for the planet. Using the company’s nature-based ingredients, some of which are upcycled, extracted from plants, or derived from fermentation, it is possible to indulge with no compromise. “For example, consumers are buying more vitamin and mineral supplements than ever and will choose a soft and chewy gummy that tastes like a confectionery treat but is made without animal-based gelatin,” said Berdugo.

At FiE, CP Kelco invites show attendees to Booth 3.0C40 to indulge in a breakfast tasting session of vegan scrambled egg alternatives featuring KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum every day from 10 to 11am.
