Cellulose, an ingredient favorite food sector

By Sarah Nassauer
What usually found in grated cheese plus cheese?
powdered cellulose: tiny particles of wood pulp or other plant fibers that line and prevent the cheese from clumping to block moisture.
One of the many additives created in a factory, pulp is increasingly used by the processed food industry, say the producers. Food manufacturers use it to thicken or stabilize food, replace fat and increase fiber and reduce the need for ingredients such as oil or flour, which are becoming more expensive.
  • Products, rubber and cellulose fibers allow food manufacturers to offer white bread with a high dietary fiber content and low calorie ice cream that still feels smooth.
  • cellulose additives are a family of substances known as hydrocolloids which act in various ways with the water, for example, creating gels.
  • The rise in prices of ingredients like flour, sugar and oil is driving the popularity of these additives, say the producers.
  • pulp demand is also higher due to the increasing popularity of processed food products in China, India and other emerging economies, and because the consumer demand for low calorie foods or fat but continue to have a creamy texture.
  • While some food manufacturers say they are not increasing the percentage of cellulose in their products, others increase the amount of cellulose fiber and other ingredients. In this way, companies can save money, even when the cellulose is more expensive by weight than conventional ingredients. Cellulose gives food "more water, more air and a creamy sensation in the mouth with fewer ingredients, and only a small amount, says Niels Thestrup, vice president of Danisco AS hydrocolloids. The Danish company manufactures ingredients and enzymes for food and cleaning products, among others.
  • Cellulose is especially popular because it can be used in many ways the food and is relatively inexpensive. hydrocolloids sales Danisco has seen a rise of between 3% and 5% per year over the last decade, but in the last two years, sales have jumped about 6% to 8%.
  • Even organic food products containing cellulose.
  • U.S. firm Organic Valley uses powdered cellulose pulp made from wood in its cheese products. The company would prefer not to use synthetic ingredients, but the pulp is soft, white and repels moisture, which makes it the preferred choice over other alternatives such as potato starch said Tripp Hughes, director of product marketing at Organic Valley.
  • powdered cellulose fibers is prepared by cooking raw-wood floors, usually in various chemicals to separate cellulose. It is then purified.
  • While the idea of \u200b\u200beating small grains of wood pulp can fade over a consumer, nutritionists say that cellulose fiber is often harmless can reduce the amount of calories in food. insoluble dietary fibers such as cellulose are indigestible by humans for what they add to the body without fattening food.
  • addition, according to Joanne Slavin, professor of food science and nutrition at the University of Minnesota, cellulose can be a good source of fiber for people who do not eat enough fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
  • Kraft Foods Inc. uses different forms of cellulose wood pulp and cotton in their products, including cheese and salad dressings. "Cellulose has unique characteristics that make it the best option to carry out certain functions," said his spokeswoman Susan Davison.
