28 Sep 2015 --- Many processed food ingredients promise stability of flavor functionality and many do the job with consistency and reliability. However, one ingredient, Acacia Gum, brings more to the table than just stability. Acacia Gum is a natural, sustainable, vegan clean label product that promises to provide a viable alternative to chemically produced ingredients. One of the world’s largest suppliers of Acacia Gum, Alland & Robert, has recently confirmed its on-going investment in the development of applications. Research & Development Director, Dr Isabelle Jaouen, spoke to FoodIngredientsFirst about how this all-natural, multifunctional ingredient continues to grow sales by 10% year-on-year for Alland & Robert.
