Palsgaard Brazil begins producing Emulpals cake mix emulsifiers
Key takeaways
- Palsgaard begins Emulpals production in Brazil to meet rising demand for plant-based, clean label cake emulsifiers across Latin America.
- Brazilian manufacturing ensures supply security and faster delivery for regional customers.
- Emulpals enable healthier cake formulations by replacing saturated/trans fats with unsaturated oils, while maintaining softness and aeration in baked goods.
Palsgaard has expanded production of its Emulpals powdered cake emulsifiers — the company’s range of plant-based, clean label emulsifiers for bakery premixes — to Brazil to keep pace with the growing global and regional demand for the whipping agents.
The plant-based emulsifier specialists say they can be used in a variety of cake mixes to accelerate production speed, deliver high aeration, and soften cakes. They can also allow a switch from saturated or trans-fats to unsaturated liquid oils.
After 40 years of successful production in Denmark, Palsgaard Brazil is now manufacturing the emulsifiers for the first time. An additional production site in Brazil will help guarantee supply security, while a team of application experts will collaborate with customers.
Supply security
The emulsifiers will also be specially developed options for the Brazilian and Latin American markets, and they are aligned to global quality and functionality standards, notes the company.
“Our Emulpals emulsifiers have proven hugely popular with cake mix manufacturers across the world over the last four decades. We are delighted to announce that we have begun manufacturing these high-performing whipping agents in Brazil and are already distributing them to customers across the Americas,” says Palsgaard Brazil CEO Miguel Hidalgo.
“Palsgaard Brazil is ideally placed to help manufacturers satisfy different consumer preferences across the region. We have a dedicated application center, and an extraordinarily talented team of technicians, whose knowledge of the food industry helps us meet our customers’ precise needs.”
“We also work with our innovation teams in Denmark, Mexico, Singapore, China, India, and Türkiye to stay on top of the latest global trends and adapt new ideas to local requirements.”
The expansion in Brazil closely follows Palsgaard’s inauguration of a state-of-the-art application center in Navi Mumbai, India, in July. The new facility is designed to enhance product development capabilities and provide localized technical support across key food categories in India.
