Improving the carbon footprint with JELU products
Climate change has become part of our political and social consciousness. Companies are coming under increased pressure to disclose and reduce their carbon emissions. The road to becoming a net-zero economy poses them the major challenge of eliminating the production of greenhouse gases harmful to the environment and of improving their carbon footprint. They can achieve this by using climate-friendly products like JELUCEL®, JELUXYL® and JELUPLAST®.
Lignocellulose: optimal crude fibre for feeding sows
Crude fibres have a positive impact on the animal welfare of breeding sows. The solubility and fermentability of the fibres are essential for this effect to take place. Insoluble and non-fermentable crude fibres such as our JELUVET® lignocellulose improve the sow’s well-being. But that’s not all! A field trial conducted in Brazil shows that our JELUVET® lignocellulose also has a positive influence on piglet breeding.
Lignocellulose and cellulose: dietary fibre for pet food
Lignocellulose and cellulose are used in pet food as dietary fibre - also referred to as crude fibre in animal feed. Both feed materials are neutral in taste. According to studies, the added dietary fibre in the food stimulates peristalsis, shortening the time it takes for the food to pass through the large intestine. Food rich in dietary fibre, therefore, prevents sluggish bowel movements and constipation. Both lignocellulose and cellulose bind water and give structure to the faeces, improving its consistency. Even animals with a tendency to soft, improperly formed stools can benefit from these dietary fibres. Do lignocellulose and cellulose, however, really have the same effects?
Texturiser in ice cream: JELUCEL® plant fibres
Ice cream is a sweet treat for young and old alike. Its consistency and viscosity are key attributes for both consumers and manufacturers. To be able to meet the texture requirements, manufacturers are repeatedly formulating new recipes. A current study now shows that JELUCEL® plant fibres are suitable for use as a texturiser in ice cream. Compared with the other fibres examined in the study, they impress with their sensory properties.
Oleogel from cellulose and rapeseed oil: substitute for palm oil
Palm oil has become discredited. Stricter environmental and health awareness among consumers is causing many food manufacturers to rethink their production processes. In a large number of foods, palm oil can easily be replaced by oils of other botanical origin. In products such as chocolate spreads, however, food technology has so far reached its limits. According to one study, rapeseed oil oleogelated with JELUCEL® cellulose fibres offers a promising alternative.
