Emulsifiers & Hydrocolloids
ADM provides consistent, cost-effective, plant-based texture ingredients for a broad range of applications.
Unlock Winning Functionality
Our emulsifiers are lecithins derived from various crops such as soy, canola / rapeseed and sunflower. ADM’s xanthan gum is a gluten-free hydrocolloid available in multiple solutions. Whatever your product requires, we have a hydrocolloid or emulsifier that is right for you.
A Legacy of Expertise
We continue to grow our legacy of expertise across functional texture ingredients—polyols, emulsifiers and hydrocolloids—that began in the 1940s, as the first company in the U.S. to make commercial soy lecithin. Our emulsifiers and hydrocolloids provide reliable quality, while our distribution network ensures a dependable supply. We leverage our technical expertise to work with you to create customizable solutions and increase your speed to market.
Sustainable Supply
ADM’s partnership with carefully selected growers provides the highest quality ingredients and consistency, from field to market. Unlike many other emulsifier and hydrocolloid products, ours are fully derived from plants and produced in the U.S. via fermentation from plant-based sources at our own dedicated manufacturing facility.
