Acidulants can be used
in margarine products to reduce pH to a level where
microbial growth is severly hindered. |

a general-purpose acidulant and can be used in margarine
at low dose rates. It can also be used to sequester
some metals and retard oxidation. |

gives a smoother flavour profile in acidified dairy
beverages. |

based on Soy sterols, and when absorbed by the body
will help block the
amount of cholesterol absorbed, ultimately lowering
the blood cholesterol levels. ADM’s
Cardio-Aid product allows technologists
to formulate products without affecting taste or
texture, while providing the necessary health benefits. |
