Gelatin replacement & plant-based
The use of starches in jellies and gums is well known in the industry. Standard gelling starches are used to replace part of the expensive gelatin that is traditionally used in these applications.
The popularity of plant-based foods has led to a demand for starches that can be used to develop 100% gelatin-free products
Next to standard gelling starches Emox® C70S and Emes® KSA 1502, Emsland Group has developed Emden® ET 15 and Emden® ET 50 that offer our customers the ability to develop plant-based gums and jellies. Next to this, the Emden® ET-starches have the advantage of being thermostable. Whereas gelatin already melts at 40 °C, products with Emden® ET do not melt up to 80 °C. This is an advantage in certain warm regions and in hot summers!
