OUR SOLUTIONS

Let us help you find the right emulsifiers

All-purpose margarine is a popular ingredient used in cooking, baking, and spreading on bread. It is a versatile and affordable substitute for butter, with a longer shelf life and lower saturated fat content. However, producing all-purpose margarine can be a challenge for manufacturers due to the complex process and strict regulations.

One of the primary challenges in producing all-purpose margarine is achieving the desired texture and consistency. Margarine must be solid enough to hold its shape but also soft enough to spread easily. Achieving this balance requires careful blending of different oils, emulsifiers, and stabilisers, which can be a time-consuming and costly process.

Palsgaard has helped margarine producers perfect their products for a century. Our global application service will help you optimise your emulsifier and fat composition – and your production processes – to achieve the very best results.
