Functional Ingredients
A functional ingredient is one that adds a function or benefit, either during the food production process, or to the finished product. For example, a functional ingredient could help to speed up the whipping or stability of a cake batter, or improve the taste, appearance, structure, quality, shelf life or nutritional value of the finished cake. We offer a range of functional ingredients and advice, for a wide variety of food development challenges.

Emulsifiers
Emulsifiers are key to bind water and oil or fat in any recipe, to improve taste, texture, appearance and shelf life by preventing staling.
Cholesterol lowering ingredients
Phytosterols (plant sterols) occur naturally in plants, and can help to reduce cholesterol absorption. Vividol®, our innovative blend of nutrients from pine and rapeseed, is a great way to add cholesterol-lowering plant sterols to a wide range of products.
