Danisco is the first

food ingredients producer to offer its customers sustainable emulsifiers. Used mainly to bind oil and water in food, these emulsifiers are based on sustainable palm oil or sustainable palm kernel oil.

Palm oil is mainly

produced in Malaysia and Indonesia. In the last few years, the demand for palm oil has been increasing. To avoid unnecessary cutting down of the rainforest to grow palm trees, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, RSPO, has prepared criteria for sustainable oil production. Danisco has been a member of RSPO for many years and is the only emulsifier supplier to be a member of GreenPalm.
