Phosphate replacement in food products has become a highly discussed topic and a growing market trend, driven by an increasing demand for products with a cleaner, more natural labelling and thus higher consumer acceptance.
In alginate products, phosphates are generally used as sequestering agents to temporarily bind calcium during the gelling process. This ensures greater flexibility during production. Replacing phosphates whilst still controlling the alginate gelation and achieving a similar product functionality presents a new challenge for the modern food industry.
JRS has developed different functional systems based on VIVAPUR® Alginate that can be used for phosphate-free formulations e.g. for instant custard cream. These products offer outstanding properties, such as perfect texture and baking stability, while supporting clean-label trends.
