Plant-based drinks are increasingly finding favour with consumers, but as they expect products with sensory properties similar to dairy, manufacturers are in for a challenge. Theng Theng Sim, Regional Application Manager at Palsgaard Asia-Pacific, can help create your next non-dairy beverage, but she’ll need to ask you a few questions first.

From its six application centres around the world Palsgaard’ s experienced food technologists help manufacturers optimise existing recipes and develop delicious products with better nutritional profiles.
Palsgaard helps manufacturers meet consumer and regulatory demands for greater responsibility, helping them grow and protect their brands. It is currently the world’s only commercial source of fully sustainable, emulsifiers based on RSPO SG-certified palm oil and produced by CO2-neutral factories in Denmark, the Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil, China and Malaysia. The company’s products are non-GMO and meet halal and kosher requirements.
In addition to its food emulsifiers, Palsgaard supplies the polymers industry with a series of plant-based, food-grade polymer additives, which are particularly suited for preventing fogging and dust on plastic packaging.

Advances in emulsifiers for bakery
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.
15 Sep 2014 --- Palsgaard has set an ambitious goal of achieving CO2 neutrality by 2020. The company’s 4th CSR report was recently published. Palsgaard currently emits 0.17kg of carbon emissions per kg of finished product. Palsgaard has been a Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) member since 2008. The company aims to solely use RSPOcertified palm oil by the end of 2015.
