CP Kelco’s extensive portfolio of products includes brands that offer consistently high performance in food and beverage applications.  These products are most often used for viscosity modification, thickening, suspension, stabilization and gelation.

GENU^® Pectin – Polysaccharide derived from naturally occurring structural components in fruits and vegetables. CP Kelco pectin is made primarily from citrus peels and sugar beets.

NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber – NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber is a next-generation fiber ingredient made from sustainably sourced citrus peels, an abundant byproduct of the juice industry. It supports dietary fiber intake and can help meet your clean label goals of a simpler, shorter ingredient list, or developing reduced-sugar or reduced-fat products. It also supports stability, suspension, body, and texture in a variety of applications including condiments, dressings, soups, baked goods, fruit flavored drinks, dairy yogurts & plant-based yogurt alternatives, and meat & meat alternative products.

KELTROL^® Xanthan Gum – Produced by commercial fermentation of the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. Widely used for thickening and stabilizing.

KELCOGEL^® Gellan Gum – Polysaccharide that creates an innovative, highly pseudoplastic “fluid gel” suspension system which functions with minimal viscosity.

GENU^® Carrageenan – Sulphated polysaccharides extracted from certain species of red seaweed. Carrageenan allows formulators to create textures ranging from free-flowing liquids to solid gels.

SIMPLESSE^® Microparticulated Whey Protein Concentrate – Whey protein processed to decrease tendency to aggregate and gel upon heating. Provides emulsion and foam stabilization, heat and pH stability, texture, creaminess and smoothness in a wide range of full-fat and low-fat applications.
