FMC BioPolymer
Steps Up Competitiveness With Alginates Acquisition . . .

FMC Corporation has acquired the alginates and food blends business of International Specialty Products (ISP), to expand and strengthen its alginate range. It has been integrated into the FMC BioPolymer Division.

This merging of FMC and ISP now makes FMC by far the largest alginate supplier globally.

Alginates are hydrocolloids derived from alginic acid obtained from seaweed (kelp). They are one of the most versatile hydrocolloids and are used in a wide range of food, pharmaceutical and specialty applications for: thickening, stabilising, gelling and film forming.

Food manufacturers across the board are investigating solutions for healthy, low-fat products that still taste good, to meet the demands of the health conscious consumer. This has created new innovation opportunities for hydrocolloids, such as MCC and Alginate.

Lighten Up™ from Symrise . . . . . .

Symrise is helping to make the tastes people love, healthier. Creating full-flavoured, irresistible foods that are low in sugar and fat.

SymLife® SweetSymLife® Sweet is a flavouring which allows you to get a sweeter taste without as much sugar. In certain applications SymLife® Sweet can lower the sucrose content by up to 30% – and still round out the full flavor profile. While this is typically a sugar reduction aid rather than a replacement, we have found that it also works very well in combination with artificial sweeteners to round out the nasty, lingering aftertaste.

Chocolates and ice cream are just two examples of successful applications where SymLife® Sweet improves the health benefits of delicious popular products.
SymLife® CreamSymLife® Cream is an innovative solution which generates a rich, creamy mouthfeel, but keeps foods light and appealing. Not only is it great in yogurts, ice cream or dairy products, it also gives sauces, soups and prepared dishes that special something. The range includes strong ‘cream notes’, through to ‘clean, fat mimicking mouthfeel, without the cream’, in both liquid, powder, NI and natural formats.
