Danisco First with Sustainable Emulsifier

Used mainly to bind oil and water in food, these emulsifiers are based on sustainable palm oil or sustainable palm kernel oil. The new sustainable emulsifier meets the increasing consumer demand for ethically correct consumer goods.

21/01/09 Danisco is the first food ingredients producer to offer its customers sustainable emulsifiers. Used mainly to bind oil and water in food, these emulsifiers are based on sustainable palm oil or sustainable palm kernel oil.

The new sustainable emulsifier meets the increasing consumer demand for ethically correct consumer goods.

’At Danisco, we focus on sustainability at all levels. For that reason, we are especially pleased to offer sustainable emulsifiers. It is a major product area for us and hence contributes to giving us a strong profile in the food industry. In step with the general focus on environmental and ethical issues, this opens up new opportunities for our customers to meet consumer demand for sustainable foods,’ says Martin Klavs Nielsen, Executive Vice President, Emulsifiers.

Palm oil is mainly produced in Malaysia and Indonesia. In the last few years, the demand for palm oil has been increasing. To avoid unnecessary cutting down of the rainforest to grow palm trees, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has prepared criteria for sustainable oil production.

Danisco has been a member of RSPO for many years and is the only emulsifier supplier to be a member of GreenPalm.
