CP Kelco Xanthan Gum Receives US EPA Design for Environment Registration CP Kelco

China Weekly News: 10 August 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

CP Kelco's KELTROLï¿½ and KELZANï¿½ lines of xanthan gum products have been evaluated by an independent testing lab and have been registered on the recognized ingredient list for the United States Environmental Protection Agency Design for the Environment (DfE) program.

The US EPA DfE program establishes criteria to be met by ingredients used in household consumer products. Products bearing the DfE logo signify to the consumer that these products and ingredients can help protect the environment and are safer for families.

"The trend in household consumer products industries is to move away from synthetic and petroleum-based materials and formulate with either plant-based or natural viscosifiers," says Jacqueline Compton, Technical Service Representative of Consumer and Industrial Applications for CP Kelco. "This registration, along with our application expertise in formulating with natural polymers, helps customers formulate more nature-friendly products; we're really excited about the possibilities this recognition opens."

This registration is the first achieved through an initiative by CP Kelco to obtain DfE registration for all of our nature-based rheology modifiers, suspension aids and functional additives. For information on how to formulate with CP Kelco products including KELTROL and KELZAN xanthan gums, please contact CP Kelco directly.

For more information on the EPA's Design for the Environment initiative and use of the DfE logo, please visit their website at: www.epa.gov/dfe.

CP Kelco Announces a Family of Products Compliant to New Pharmacopoeias Specifications

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In anticipation of customer requirements for products that comply to upgraded and harmonized test methods, CP Kelco has developed a set of products that are compliant to the regulatory requirements specified in the recent initiative to align international pharmacopoeias.

CP Kelcoï¿½s family of compliant products includes special grades of xanthan gum, pectin and cellulose gum that are tested under the new and expanded microbial requirements.

In order to reduce duplication and the time taken for products to become available in different markets, the Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group (PDG) and the International Conference on the Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) have sought to harmonize the differing regional standards and specifications.

ï¿½Considerable time can be saved by selecting products that have already been validated according to the recommended methods in the European and United States Pharmacopoeias, which have been designed to help manufacturers comply with changing regulatory requirements,ï¿½ states Jane Schulenburg, Global Marketing Director, CP Kelco.

CP Kelco Receives 2010 North American Food Ingredients Technology Innovation of the Year Award

Business Wire: 23 February 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- At an awards ceremony held in early February, Ted Russin represented CP Kelco to receive the Frost & Sullivan 2010 North American Food Ingredients Technology Innovation of the Year Award for its patent pending Triple Layer Self-Separating Dessert Gel concept. The Technology Innovation of the Year Award is a prestigious recognition of CP Kelcoï¿½s accomplishments in the food ingredients market.

The invention was awarded due to the uniqueness of the technology, impact on new products/applications, impact on functionality, impact on customer value, and relevance of innovation to industry.

Ted Russin, Scientist, describes the basic principle behind this invention: ï¿½Through a density gradient, created by blending fat-based emulsifiers, an aqueousï¿½phase with KELCOGELï¿½ F gellan gum and incorporated air, we can create a homogenous stream that rapidly separates into different phases and eventually sets into a layeredï¿½gelled dessert.ï¿½ KELCOGELï¿½ F gellan gumï¿½is unique in that it creates aï¿½thin viscosity in theï¿½warm aqueousï¿½matrixï¿½whichï¿½allows for theï¿½effective separation of the emulsifier layers during cooling and setting.

The creation of a single stream process that can separate into three distinct layers is considered a technological advancement. Customers prefer desserts which can give them multiple sensory inputs with the same serving portion. A layered dessert satisfies this need, as different textures and potentially different sensory experiences can be offered within the same portion. This innovation gives manufacturers the ability to process two or three layered desserts effectively and efficiently.
