Palsgaard A/S is the inventor of the modern food emulsifier and was established in 1919. The company's current broad product range, includes high-performing emulsifiers and stabilizers for margarine, bakery, dairy, ice cream, soy, confectionery and fine foods as well as functional agents for polymer applications. Palsgaard CEO Jakob Thøisen spotlights the company's mammoth efforts in the carbon neutrality space, and how the emulsifier ingredients company achieved its target two years ahead of schedule. Emulsifiers also have a crucial role in the growing demand for clean-label and plant-based products, with Thøisen noting that they are investing R&D in this space.

In decades to come, using a widening variety of raw ingredients will be needed to get more out of our foods. And emulsifiers will be needed to make much of it possible.

As Palsgaard celebrates 100 years since its founder, Einar Schou, invented the modern commercial emulsifier, the Danish-based ingredients manufacturer is increasingly looking beyond its base of food for growth. Palsgaard set highly ambitious 5 year growth targets in 2016, aimed at doubling current turnover of DKK1 billion (€135 million) by 2021. Palsgaard A/S owes its highly successful portfolio of vegetable-based emulsifiers and stabilizers to sister company Nexus A/S, which comprises a range of laboratories.

06 Sep 2017 --- Palsgaard presented cake mix concepts at IFT 2017 made with sustainably sourced emulsifiers that are PHO-free. Rosa Regalado of Palsgaard explains: “A lot of the work that we have been doing is in the bakery sector. We have a unique extrusion technology. The base of that is that we have rice starch as a carrier and then we have the emulsifier fully activated surrounding the surface of the starch. This is an emulsifier in powder form that is ready to use and fully activated, but can just blend it with your dry ingredients. That makes it perfect for cake mixes, where we have a concept where all the customer has to do is add oil, water and eggs.” She stressed that the company has also made sure that these concepts are in compliance with the regulation around PHOs and are also free from saturated fats.
