Organic Foods: the role of Stabilizing Systems

The organic foods market has grown rapidly, driven by health-conscious and sustainability-focused consumers. Innovating products as SWISSGUM® BIO and SWISSGUM® B are designed to enhance consistency and performance across various applications, from ice creams to sauces and dairy alternatives.

This sector has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, driven by consumers who are health-conscious and concerned about sustainability. This trend has pushed food manufacturers to innovate, creating products that are not only delicious but also adhere to strict organic guidelines. As part of this shift, stabilizing systems play a crucial role in ensuring that organic food products maintain their texture, appearance, and shelf life.

Lasenor, a leader in the development of food stabilizing systems, is at the forefront of this organic movement with their SWISSGUM® BIO and SWISSGUM® B product lines. These functional systems are designed to meet the unique needs of organic food production, enhancing texture, consistency, and performance across a wide range of applications, from ice creams to sauces or dairy alternatives.

Lasenor’s organic stabilizing systems are made from carefully selected hydrocolloids, that work in harmony to create the ideal texture and stability in food products. These natural ingredients form the backbone of Lasenor’s formulations, providing the functionality needed to meet the growing demands of organic food production without compromising on performance.

For example, in the case of ice creams and sorbets, SWISSGUM BIO-7000 offers exceptional form stability and creaminess, even in vegan formulations. These systems ensure that plant-based ice creams retain the same indulgent mouthfeel and texture as their dairy-based counterparts, while being entirely palm-free and clean-label compliant.

In addition to ice cream, our stabilizers are also designed for use in dairy products such as yogurts and puddings. SWISSGUM BIO-7552 prevents syneresis (liquid separation) in yogurt drinks and vegan fermented products, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture. These systems are highly adaptable, providing solutions for both traditional dairy and plant-based alternatives.

What sets organic stabilizing systems apart is their ability to solve multiple functional challenges in a single formulation. They are designed not only to control viscosity and improve consistency and mouthfeel but also to provide additional benefits such as enhancing whipping properties, controlling elasticity, and reducing sedimentation. This multifunctional approach allows manufacturers to simplify their production processes while maintaining high standards of quality.

In the case of sauces, dressings, and mayonnaise, our systems ensure a smooth, thick texture that holds up even under heat and cold processing. SWISSGUM BIO-7043, for example, is ideal for vegan spreads and mayonnaise, delivering the same creamy texture as traditional versions without the use of synthetic emulsifiers.

In the beverage industry, Lasenor’s stabilizing systems, such as SWISSGUM BIO-7025 for soy and other plant-based drinks, prevent sedimentation and ensure an even, homogenous texture. This is particularly important in the growing market for plant-based milk alternatives, where consumers expect a smooth drinking experience free from separation or grittiness.

For fruit preparations, organic stabilizers also perform exceptionally well, ensuring that solid particles remain evenly suspended in yogurts, desserts, and smoothies. SWISSGUM BIO-7008 is specifically designed for use in fruit-based products, offering stability even at high temperatures and sugar levels.

SWISSGUM BIO-7034 is suitable for both vegan ice cream and milk-based ice cream, offering exceptional form stability and creaminess.

In other way, SWISSGUM BIO-7046 is ideal for vegan sausages, providing a firm texture and strong gelification that mimics the bite of traditional meat products.

This cross-application functionality is not only efficient but also cost-effective for manufacturers looking to streamline production while maintaining product quality. Moreover, the use of natural hydrocolloids and gums like guar gum, locust bean gum, and tara gum further enhances the natural appeal of the products.

All of Lasenor’s organic stabilizing systems are produced in strict accordance with EU regulations and the Swiss Organic Farming Ordinance, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of sustainability and transparency. These systems are entirely palm-free and formulated with today’s customer requirements in mind, avoiding synthetic additives.

This adherence to organic certification provides a key advantage for food manufacturers looking to cater to the growing demand for organic and ethically sourced products. By using Lasenor’s stabilizing systems, producers can confidently label their products as organic, clean, and free from undesirable ingredients, while still delivering on texture, stability, and shelf life.
