Ingredion Incorporated has introduced TICALOID® Acacia MAX in the U.S. and Canada. The ingredient is a high-performance emulsifier that solves many of the common limitations of traditional acacia. 

TICALOID Acacia MAX helps: 

•    Stabilize a range of emulsions – even at high oil loads

•    Lower formulation and production costs 

•    Improve labels on consumer products

Stabilize a range of emulsions – even at high oil loads

“While traditional acacia is limited to an oil loading capacity of roughly 12% and requires high usage levels of emulsifier, TICALOID Acacia MAX can be utilized to double the oil load while simultaneously reducing emulsifier usage levels,” said Derek Holthaus, Ingredion’s senior principal scientist, Systems and Ingredients Solutions North America. “With TICALOID Acacia MAX, beverage manufacturers can now create emulsions with high oil loads at lower usage levels. In addition, TICALOID Acacia MAX can stabilize emulsion concentrates with oil loads up to 24%, increasing productivity, reducing production and transportation costs and decreasing water usage.” 

Lower formulation and production costs

TICALOID Acacia MAX high-performance emulsifier can match the functionality of traditional acacia at up to 70% lower usage levels, helping formulators cut cost without sacrificing stability and label appeal. Emulsions made with TICALOID Acacia MAX have a more stable particle size over time in various environmental conditions than emulsions produced with traditional acacia, thereby improving overall shelf life stability and maintaining vibrant colors and flavors in beverage and concentrate applications.

Improve labels on consumer products 

TICALOID Acacia MAX can stabilize emulsions without the use of weighting agents, helping formulators deliver high quality beverages full of consumers’ favorite flavors with shorter ingredient declarations.

Designed with proprietary technology to deliver higher emulsification power, TICALOID Acacia MAX enables formulation without the hassle of long dissolution times and the high costs associated with weighting agents.
