Address Demand for Cleaner Labels & Recognizable Ingredients
Achieving cleaner-label whitening of foods and beverages can be a challenge. However, increasing consumer demand for more recognizable food ingredients and stricter regulations has demanded innovative solutions. ADM’s PearlEdge™ portfolio offers a range of whitening solutions for different applications, serving as an excellent alternative to titanium dioxide.
With the innovative PearlEdge™ portfolio for bright white hues, you can achieve superb whitening in foods and beverages with solutions that enable whiteness of similar intensity to TiO2 while providing a cleaner label.
Derived from nature, PearlEdge™ Silk, Satin, and Shine solutions allow you to replace ingredients, such as TiO2 and modified starch, with native corn starch on your ingredient list. PearlEdge™ Silk and Satin have been tested in a multitude of application processes to illustrate performance. It keeps in suspension, and in confections, works extremely well in sugar syrup to alleviate uneven texture, a blotchy surface, and perceived roughness.
Our PearlEdge™ portfolio was designed as an array of solutions to address different applications, markets, certifications, and regulatory needs. In beverages, our emulsification technology delivers strong whitening and opacifying effects that are compatible with other beverage ingredients, with no ringing, precipitation, sediments, or staining.
