Huber’s impact on food & beverage

Start your day the Huber way

Rise and shine, it’s time for breakfast. GENU® Pectin from CP Kelco makes jelly easier to spread on toast or English muffins, and it helps ensure fruit pieces are evenly distributed in jam. Prefer cereal? From classic dairy-based products and drinking yogurts to the ever-growing milk alternatives, our KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum, GENU® Carrageenan and GENU® Pectin add creaminess, protect protein and give them a smooth pour for great flavor from first to last sip. HuberCal® calcium carbonate from Huber Engineered Materials adds calcium to breakfast cereals and diet shakes.

If your beverage of choice is a fruit juice, juice drink or smoothie, chances are that one of these nature-based ingredients from CP Kelco was used to help enhance body and mouthfeel: KELTROL® Xanthan Gum, SIMPLESSE® Microparticulated Whey Protein Concentrate or KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum.

Need caffeine to jump-start the day? Many iced coffee drinks use GENU® Carrageenan for a smooth mouthfeel and to prevent ingredients like cocoa from settling to the bottom.

Time for lunch

Salad for lunch? Huber can help with your salad dressing. KELTROL Xanthan Gum keeps the herbs and seasonings suspended in Italian and other vinaigrette dressings. KELCOGEL Gellan Gum improves the consistency of ranch dressing.

For deli sandwiches, GENU Carrageenan enhances the consistency and juiciness of sliced meat.

Or maybe you’re grabbing a yogurt for a quick, on-the-go snack. GENU Pectin and KELCOGEL Gellan Gum give it a smooth, creamy texture and add stability to the fruit at the bottom without the need for added preservatives.

What’s for dinner?

Huber products go great with grilled foods. GENU Pectin and KELTROL Xanthan Gum can be found in BBQ sauce and relish, ensuring that the first squeeze from the bottle is just as good as the last.

Go ahead and top your burger with a slice of cheese. Our GENU Refined Locust Bean Gum gives it creaminess and meltability. If you prefer plant-based proteins on your dinner plate, enhance your veggie burger with a generous dollop of vegan mayonnaise containing NUTRAVA™ Citrus Fiber as an alternative to eggs.

Leave room for dessert

Everyone loves dessert, and you’ll love it more because of Huber. GENU Pectin and KELCOGEL Gellan Gum help to put the yum in yummy jelly beans, fruit leathers and caramels. We also take the cake, driving confection perfection in fondants and pastes. Did someone say pie? Count on us for excellent bake stability in fruit pie fillings, too. How about some ice cream? We ensure your ice cream and dairy dessert stay smooth, thick and creamy with GENULACTA® Carrageenan, GENU Pectin and KELGUM® and KELTROL Xanthan Gums.

Or, for a lower calorie option, SIMPLESSE Microparticulated Whey Protein Concentrate helps ice cream keep its rich texture while lowering its fat content.

On the lighter side, GENUGEL® Carrageenan is a vegan gelatin alternative to give panna cotta, mousse and other jiggly desserts their terrific form and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Huber is here at every meal, making your food and drink better. And, as consumer tastes continue to change, you can count on us to be there. From a focus on clean labels to protein and texture trends, new innovations in foods and beverages are happening all of the time. Our R&D team uses their application expertise to help food manufacturers in every region of the world.
