Palsgaard: Optimizing the chocolaty qualities
Palsgaard’s PGPR (polyglycerol polyricinoleate) product offers chocolate manufacturers the best ever levels of functionality and efficiency. PGPR is used in chocolate production for mould optimization, flow control and viscosity reduction. Palsgaard’s ex- isting product, Palsgaard® PGPR 4150, is already the market leader, but the company’s latest offering takes PGPR performance to new levels.
Developed exclusively for chocolate, Palsgaard® PGPR 4190 is 15% more ef- ficient at controlling viscosity than Pal- sgaard® PGPR 4150, and can be used at a dose 30-40% lower than other PGPRs, making it highly cost-effective.
Other benefits include easier flow,
better coating of inclusions, and taste- and-odour-neutrality. Palsgaard® PGPR 4190 will be subject to Palsgaard’s unique quality standards, with batch- to-batch checks guaranteeing uniform stability.
Morten Hoffmann Kyed, Director of Product Management at Palsgaard, said, “We’ve led the market for many years, but this really is the next level for PGPR. Palsgaard® PGPR 4190 is the result of years of research and innova- tion, and it will offer chocolate manu- facturers unique, best-in-class func- tionality. Furthermore, because a tiny drop delivers a huge effect, its benefits also include very high cost-in-use sav- ings.”
Palsgaard® PGPR 4190 is designed for chocolate spreads and enrobed and moulded products. Although it works well with traditional chocolate emulsifier lecithin, it is an ideal partner for Palsgaard® AMP 4455, an alterna- tive to lecithin with better organoleptic properties. Both products were show- cased at the World Confectionery Con- ference on 1st June.
The result of intensive research at Palsgaard’s main R&D centre in Den- mark, Palsgaard® PGPR 4190 is manu- factured in the company’s specialist facilities in the Netherlands, where all production is CO2-neutral, and which have recently undergone extensive equipment upgrades.
