ADM launches white colour solution PearlEdge

ADM has developed a proprietary white colour solution, called PearlEdge. 

The PearlEdge line is made using natural ingredients, such as corn starch, and delivers a vibrant, stable and uniform white colouring for a range of food and beverage applications. 

“Our team has been diligently working to perfect our new line of white colour solutions, assuring its groundbreaking quality and performance,” said Hélène Moeller, VP of global product marketing at ADM. “This rollout meets the evolving needs of customers and consumers, as brands look for titanium dioxide (TiO2) replacements that not only provide a bright white shade but also meet clean-label targets.”

ADM says its PearlEdge line aims to meet formulation challenges where “other plant-based white colourants fall short”. The solution is said to perform well in powdered drink mixes and beverages; bakery icings and fillings; sugar-free offerings; soups, sauces and dressings; dairy and dairy alternatives; and meat alternatives. 

Moeller added: “We’re particularly excited about the possibilities with our PearlEdge Silk and Satin patent-pending technology. With superior stability and performance as well as a white colour of similar intensity as TiO2, PearlEdge Silk and Satin are game-changers for smooth white appearances in applications like panned confections and compressed tablets.”

In November 2021, Cargill also released its Bright White colour solution for the chocolate sector.
