DuPont Nutrition & Health has developed a new, naturally sourced monoglyceride emulsifier that it says brings food manufacturers improved production and handling efficiencies.

Monoglycerides are among the most widely used emulsifiers in the food industry, the company notes, but they can become lumpy under certain conditions. Many food manufacturers, DuPont believes, face a challenge with product flowability when using powdered, non-homogenous emulsifiers. This led DuPont Nutrition & Health to develop the beaded format of DIMODAN HP 90-M – a homogenous emulsifier that it claims enhances food manufacturers productivity.

DIMODAN HP 90-M from the DuPont Danisco ingredient range comes in a beaded format that is designed to help reduce lump formation, resulting in better product flowability. In addition, dust formation is said to be significantly reduced during production, leading to improved safety and health conditions for the handlers. DIMODAN HP 90-M is claimed to deliver the same functionalities and quality as existing monoglyceride emulsifiers and can be applied in various applications including margarine, non-dairy creamers, whipping gels and many more applications.

“Standard monoglyceride emulsifiers come in a fine, powdered format with inhomogeneous particles that ultimately cause lumps and flow-related issues,” said Sun Ligong, regional product manager. “Our beaded format is coarse with more homogeneous particles that prevents lumping and increases flowability. This brings a number of enhancements to the production and shipping stages for our customers who now have products with more consistency.”

DIMODAN HP 90-M is a naturally and sustainably sourced emulsifier, based on palm oil. As of January 2017, DuPont Nutrition & Health completed its switch to 100% certified sustainable palm oil and palm oil derivatives used in its global emulsifier production. This means that the company’s entire global range of palm-based emulsifiers is now based on RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil and derivatives, which promotes the production of palm oil with greater consideration of its environmental and social impacts.

The DIMODAN HP 90-M is part of the DIMODAN range from DuPont Danisco, which is designed to help food manufacturers develop and produce hydrogenation-free products. Based on sunflower, rapeseed, palm or soya bean oil, these emulsifiers are commonly used in bakery, oils, fats, dairy, frozen desserts, confectionery and plastics, and are available in various formats and packaging.
