Explore the Benefits of Emulsifiers with PATCO Products
PATCO Products may be best known in the baking industry for its range of emulsifiers, but our expertise and leadership in emulsifiers extends beyond the food sectors. Our emulsifiers combine efficient, consistent processing with functional benefits – ensuring product quality. Our multifunctional emulsifiers offer many functional aspects including emulsification, starch complexing, protein interactions, aeration & air cell stabilization, crystal modification, as well as lubrication.
Enhanced Stability
Our emulsifiers promote enhanced stability by creating a uniform mixture that prevents separation and maintains consistent texture and efficacy.
Aeration & Air Cell Stabilization
For aerated products like cake batters and imitation creams that are oil-in-water emulsions, emulsifiers help to maintain and strengthen the air cell network. For certain polymers such as foam insulation or packaging material, emulsifiers can help achieve the desired foam cell structures.
Emulsification
Emulsification is all about controlling an interface and dispersing one substance throughout another, whether it’s between oil and water in salad dressings or a lotion or trying to incorporate air into a cake batter or foam insulation. The end result is preventing separation and achieving the desired texture of the end application.
Starch Complexing
Our monoglycerides and lactylates form complexes with starch to slow down its recrystallization, and in turn, delay staling of bakery products and keep the crumb soft.
Protein Interaction
Emulsifiers such as lactylates can interact with the protein in yeast-raised baked goods, reinforcing gluten structure & improving gas retention. For sauces & non-dairy creamers, they also improve mouthfeel & increase stability.
Crystal Modification
In chocolate and other confectionery products, emulsifiers can be used to retain crystal form and maintain the desired gloss and snap. In caramels, they can also help retain the perfect chew and extend shelf life.
Lubrication & Anti-Stick
From pasta to breakfast cereals and pet foods, our mono & diglycerides can facilitate product release from packaging or equipment. They can also improve chewing properties and prevent stickiness in fruit leathers or gums.
Anti-Static
In polyolefins, certain emulsifiers minimize the buildup of a static charge, which can attract dust to a container’s surface or prevent cups from pulling apart.
Anti-Fog
Plastic films fog up when lots of water droplets condense on them. By adding emulsifiers, the water droplets’ surface tension reduces significantly, reducing the fog so you can see into a package or sunlight can pass into a greenhouse.
Our Commitment to Quality
The benefits of working with PATCO Products go far beyond having access to high-quality emulsifiers. We’re big-picture thinkers who continue to invest in R&D to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest emulsification technologies.
We are equipped to provide custom-blended emulsification solutions, precisely tailored to your specific needs. As a market leader in emulsification technologies, we are committed to promoting sustainable practices in material sourcing. As members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) since 2005, we have actively contributed to the adoption of these principles as a worldwide norm. As of 2020, all our products containing palm oil and its derivatives are RSPO Mass Balanced Certified.
