Applications Packaging Storage & Handling
• Chocolate & compound coatings (0.2–0.6%) – viscosity & yield stress reduction.
• Bakery & dough conditioning (0.3–1.0%) – mixing tolerance, crumb and staling.
• Instantizing beverage/cocoa powders (0.1–0.5%); pan release; margarine/spreads; nutraceuticals.
• Liquid: 20 kg pails • 200 kg drums • 1000 kg IBC.
• De‑oiled: 20–25 kg bags/cartons (foil‑lined) • small foil pouches for premix/R&D.
• Non‑DG; store cool (15–25 °C), dry, sealed; protect from light/air.
• Typical shelf life: liquid 12 months; de‑oiled 24 months. Use food‑contact stainless/HDPE/PP.
Representative specs. We align origin (soy/sunflower), GMO/IP status, hydrolysis level and particle form to your process and labeling. COA per lot; samples available.
