Kerry debuts texture system to replace sunflower lecithin, mono- and diglycerides
Puremul can be listed as 'acacia, natural flavor' on ingredient lists.
Kerry has launched Puremul, a new texture system which enables manufacturers to reformulate using a label-friendly non-GMO alternative that overcomes the existing sunflower supply challenges. It is a natural texture system which can replace the use of sunflower lecithin and mono- and diglycerides across multiple applications, including baked goods and plant-based beverages.
With the existing supply chain challenges and pricing instability of sunflower lecithin, Puremul offers manufacturers an alternative. In addition, the technology helps solve the problem of clean-label emulsification by replacing the functionality of mono-and diglycerides across a number of applications, from bakery to beverage. Consumers can feel good about the ingredients in the foods they’re buying, having replaced ingredients perceived as unhealthy—mono- and diglycerides—with a cleaner-label alternative.
