Concerns over weighting agents like brominated vegetable oil (BVO), sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) and glycerol ester of wood rosin (ester gum) are on the rise due to potential consumer health concerns, regulatory limits on weighting agent usage levels and costs. Company is addressing these concerns by offering ingredients to replace weighting agents: Q-NATURALE® high efficiency emulsifier for natural beverages and PURITY GUM® Ultra emulsifier for traditional beverages. Derived from the Quillaja Saponaria Molina tree and extracted by a natural process, Q-NATURALE can emulsify non-weighted oil systems, a solution for many applications, especially clear beverages and waters. PURITY GUM Ultra is a cost effective and energy reducing emulsifier with unique oil stabilizing properties suitable for numerous beverage applications.
