Colloides
Naturels International ( more commonly known as “CNI”)
is part of the family-owned Iranex
Group and is based in Rouen, France.
CNI is the world’s largest supplier and processor of Gum Acacia, having
pioneered and perfected the sourcing, processing and spray drying of Gum Acacia
over its 100 year history.
Through a century of building relationships
in Africa, CNI has developed a robust sourcing
program and is able to select the best gum and ensure continuity
of supply. As part of its corporate sponsorship program CNI assists
African communities through reforestation projects and drilling
bores to provide potable water.
The crude Gum Acacia is shipped to
France and processed in the Serqueux factory where it is standardised,
purified, pasteurised and spray dried. CNI pay particular attention
to the processing parameters for each batch. The Serqueux site
is ISO 9000:2000 certified and has a full HACCP based food safety
program in place.
From
the base raw material CNI offer a full range of Gum
Acacia products. Through their application laboratories CNI have
built up a strong knowledge base involving confectionery, bakery,
flavour oil emulsions and extrusion applications.
The Fibregum range - a minimum content of 90% soluble fibre
-
has
allowed CNI to pioneer several new applications for high fibre
products, as well as co-processing acacia gum with other ingredients such as
fructo-oligo-saccharides (“Floracia”) to provide
synergistic benefits or with wheat insoluble fibre (“Equacia”)
which is a unique combination of soluble (acacia gum) and insoluble (wheat, gluten-free)
fibers that mimics the rheological properties of fat, while enhancing the freshness
of different foodstuffs. |
