Corbion expands its Dolton facility in the US to produce propylene glycol monoesters (PGME) emulsifiers used in sweet goods, bakery mixes and other applications.
“The addition of PGME to the portfolio means Corbion will possess all the necessary building blocks to produce a sweet goods portfolio that matches the breadth of solutions we currently offer to the bread market segment,” says Jim Robertson, global product manager, emulsifiers.
The investment in the facility follows the company’s sizeable investment in its Grandview, MO plant in 2015, enabling the company to develop and commercialize the Ensemble non-PHO emulsifier portfolio following the FDA’s decision to rescind GRAS status on PHO.
Corbion expects to have PGME solutions on the market in the second quarter of 2017.
