Palsgaard® AMP 4448

Cost savings with a consistent, stable supply are of paramount importance for many chocolate manufacturers around the world. Palsgaard® AMP 4448 - an ammonium phosphatide - offers a unique solution in the form of both cost savings and a stable supply. 

What is Palsgaard® AMP 4448?

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 has been used successfully by the chocolate industry since the 1960's to reduce the viscosity of the chocolate mass during production.

Replacing lecithin

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 (E 442) is known as the best and most efficient alternative to lecithin (E 332), both in chocolate and compound products. This ingredient significantly outperforms lecithin in terms of viscosity reduction in chocolate manufacture. It also offers favourable cost-in-use-calculations compared to lecithin.

Achieve savings
of up to 4% of cocoa butter

The outstanding performance of Palsgaard® AMP 4448 means that chocolate producers can save up to 4% cocoa butter or any other vegetable fat in the recipe compared to a formulation containing lecithin. Lecithin cannot achieve this due to the thickening effect above a 0.4% dosage. Savings are achieved while maintaining the same flow properties in the chocolate. There are few ingredients in the chocolate industry that can claim to offer such a large saving potential.

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 also enables you to develop exciting new low-fat and low-calorie products. Radical recipe adjustments are possible with the combination of Palsgaard® AMP 4448 and PGPR with other Palsgaard chocolate emulsifiers. By doing this, even greater savings are made possible.

Safe supply - also in future

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is based on non-GMO, non-hydrogenated rapeseed oil, meaning it is an all-vegetable product.

The two figures show the effect on plastic viscosity and yield value of Palsgaard® AMP 4448 compared to soya lecithin in a standard chocolate formulation.

Using Palsgaard® AMP 4448 means no undesired increase in yield value at higher dosage  levels which enables efficient manufacturing of very low fat chocolates.

 

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 can be manufactured using any edible vegetable oil or fat base. This guarantees both the safe supply and the non-GMO status of Palsgaard® AMP 4448 - for now and for the future.

Palsgaard® AMP 4448, unlike lecithin, is taste- and odour-less and is completely undetectable even in the mildest types of chocolate up to dosages of 1%.

Every batch of Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is tested on a specially designed chocolate system, where the exact 'viscosity reducing power' of the batch is determined. This way it is ensured that every batch of Palsgaard® AMP 4448 has the same functionality with each batch delivered.

Save further energy costs

Because Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is based on unhardened rapeseed oil, the viscosity of the emulsifier remains low over a large temperature interval. Unlike lecithin, Palsgaard® AMP 4448 does not need to be heated before use, offering further savings in energy resources.

Assured quality and food safety

Palsgaard meets the highest, strictest quality and food safety standards. Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is produced according to HACCP and GMP requirements, and in addition, the production is certified ISO 9001, 22000 and meets all BRC standards. Furthermore, Palsgaard® AMP 4448 can be delivered with halal and kosher certificates.
