Corbion Ingredients, Inc. launches LUMI Set, a titanium dioxide replacer designed to stabilize icings in bakery formulations without sacrificing visual appeal. Regulatory and customer pressure around titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is accelerating across the US. Multiple states have passed or are advancing legislation that could restrict TiO₂ in certain food applications or channels, and restrictions on its use in products sold in retail, CPG, and school food channels are growing. For commercial bakers who rely on TiO₂ to support the finished appearance of baked-good icings, this is creating real urgency.

• LUMI Set is a versatile solution for thick icings and string icings

The new TiO₂ replacer supports excellent visual appeal across a range of sweet baked-good applications without relying on titanium dioxide. Bakers can maintain the finished appearance their customers expect, while meeting the requirements of a changing regulatory environment. LUMI Set was developed by Corbion’s formulation scientists to support the texture, stability, and application performance bakers depend on in water-based icings.

• Corbion’s broader commitment to helping bakers solve real formulation challenges

As ingredient regulations continue to shift, bakers need partners that can move with them, providing practical solutions that work in real production environments. LUMI Set helps bakers solve the TiO₂ issue without having to choose between compliance and quality. “Titanium dioxide restrictions are creating real urgency for bakers, and we designed LUMI Set to give them a clear path forward,” said Abby Ceule, Vice President, Functional Systems at Corbion. “This isn’t just about compliance; it’s about making sure bakers can maintain the visual quality their customers expect while keeping pace with a regulatory landscape that’s changing fast.”
