Bio-Emulsifier

ALASAN - Novel Polymeric Bioemulsifier

Alasan belongs to a unique group of microbial-produced emulsifiers.

These emulsifiers are polymeric and extremely effective in stabilizing oil in water emulsions.

• Alasan has an additional unique property of withstanding high temperature and basic conditions.
• It is produced by non-pathogenic microorganisms.
• Non toxic.
• Biodegradable.
• Environmentally safe. 

Applications:

• Food industry.
• Cosmetics.
• Pharmaceutical industry.
• Paper and Fabric industries.
• Agriculture.
• Detergent industry.

Further advantages:

• Alasan gives extremely stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• It is used in relatively low concentrations.
• The addition of the emulsifier results in a uniform texture and the products are more "creamy".
• Alasan is an anti-oxidant.
• Alasan can be used to modify taste, odor and color. As the polymer coats the droplets of oil it changes their surface properties (from hydrophobic to hydrophilic). This property can be used to disguise an "oily" taste or smell.
