Food and beverage formulation

Food-grade cellulose microfibrils support particle suspension, oil-water interface stability and structural control in liquids, emulsions and composite food systems.

01 / Application needs

Design formulations around particles, oil phases and flow behaviour

Beverages, sauces and composite foods differ in particle density, oil-phase ratio and processing conditions, creating different requirements for suspension stability and mouthfeel. After dispersion in the aqueous phase, CocoCel™ cellulose microfibrils form a continuous network that can be used as a material tool in food-structure design.

Product introduction should be verified against the target food category, regulatory requirements, pH, ionic environment, processing shear and storage conditions. A single use level cannot replace formulation-specific evaluation.

02 / Material roles

Define the key tasks within the target system

01

Particle suspension

The microfibril network provides structural support for cocoa, spices and other fine particles, reducing their tendency to settle during storage.

02

Oil-water interface

High-aspect-ratio microfibrils can participate in oil-water interface construction for studies involving food oils and flavour-oil emulsions.

03

Process compatibility

Evaluate dispersion state, rheology and long-term stability against shear, temperature, pH and ionic conditions.

03 / Material observation

Structures and application forms

04 / Typical scenarios

Application-development priorities

01

Beverages and dairy drinks

Focus on particle distribution, sedimentation, flow and appearance consistency after storage.

02

Sauces and seasonings

Evaluate the structural stability of solids, oil and water phases at the target pH and salinity.

03

Bakery and composite foods

Verify material compatibility with oil phases, powders and the intended production process.
