Palsgaard highlights quick win for manufacturers seeking sustainable ingredients

At the Sustainable Foods Summit in Amsterdam (1-2 June), emulsifier producer Palsgaard presented valuable insights into how food manufacturers can quickly and easily bring sustainability to their recipes. A study carried out by research institute Ennova (ennova.com) for emulsifier manufacturer Palsgaard A/S lists sustainable ingredients as one of the top priorities for food manufacturers. In fact, 88% of the survey’s 276 respondents from around the globe stated that buying sustainable raw materials is important to their companies. And interest was even higher, at 91%, among purchasing department representatives. According to Palsgaard’s CEO, Jakob Thøisen, the trend is good news for the industry – and for society as a whole: “Recipes based on sustainable ingredients help to answer the health, safety and environmental concerns of both consumers and manufacturers,” he says. “And they can open doors to new markets, too.” Palsgaard’s presence at the Sustainable Foods Summit in Amsterdam aimed to help visiting manufacturers understand how they could achieve a quick win in the market by switching to fully sustainable emulsifiers – including how to determine whether specific emulsifiers meet sustainability criteria, and what’s required to bring them into existing or new recipes.  Read the whole story at http://www.palsgaard.com
