Guangzhou China, May 5, 2011 - The Danish ingredients and biotech firm, which is currently the subject of an acquisition bid by DuPont, entered the market for cellulose gum in 2006. The hydrocolloid, which also goes by the name carboxymethyl cellulose, or CMS, is used as a thickener, stabiliser, binder, film-former and suspending agent.
The new capacity at Danisco's plant in Zhangjiagang, China, will bring on board an additional 5,000 metric tonnes as of 2012. No indication has been given of the financial investment this has required.
It follows an earlier, 1,500 tonne expansion completed in 2009 to enable the launch of a new range of application-specific versions of the ingredient, all under the Grinsted brand.
The five application categories are: acidified and neutral dairy applications, in which it is used to stabilise milk proteins; beverages, for a smooth mouth feel; bakery, to counter dryness; toothpaste, to improve texture and for added brightness; and miscellaneous, such as pharmaceutical applications.
