Palsgaard® AMP 4448 - Ammonium Phosphatide

What is Ammonium Phosphatide?Ammonium Phosphatide is also known as “Lecithin YN”, and has been used by the chocolate industry since the 1960’s to reduce the viscosity of the chocolate mass during production.Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is a flavour neutral alternative to soya lecithin and is manufactured from unhardened rapeseed oil as basic raw material. Palsgaard® AMP 4448 may be declared as E-442 in the EU.

Effect on plastic viscosityin a milk chocolate containing 30% fat

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 reduces the viscosity in the chocolate systems better than soya lecithin. Especially at dose rates above 0.4%, the difference between the two emulsifiers is evident and in favour of Palsgaard® AMP 4448.

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is stable from batch to batch giving impro-ved production efficiency and less adjustment problems.

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is added to chocolate as the main emulsifier, and it is fully suitable as a replacement for soya lecithin in all chocolate and compound recipes.

Palsgaard has developed the new generation of Ammonium Phosphatide for use in chocolate and cocoa based confectionery products. This highly functional Ammonium Phosphatide makes chocolate production easier than ever.

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 functionality

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 also reduces the yield value of the chocolate more than soya lecithin. In this context Palsgaard® AMP 4448 possesses properties normally associated with PGPR.

Palsgaard® AMP 4448 handling

Preferably, Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is added to the chocolate mass approx. one hour before ending the conching process.Optionally, a small quantity may be added during mixing.

As Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is based on unhardened rapeseed oil, the viscosity of the emulsifier remains low over a large temperature interval.Compared to lecithin it is therefore not necessary to heat Palsgaard® AMP 4448 before use, saving both energy and time.

Palsgaard meets the highest stan-dards on quality and food safety aspects. Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is produced under strict control according to HACCP and GMP standards, and the production is certified in accordance with ISO 9001-2000 and BRC standards.Furthermore, Palsgaard® AMP 4448 can be delivered with halal and kosher certificates.

Palsgaard commitment

Palsgaard continuously examines the complex nature of chocolate systems andexpands the knowledge on how food emulsifiers can improve processing andquality in chocolate products. Keeping track of consumer demands and legalrequirements are equally important issues in our commitment to thechocolate market, and assure our customers the long term benefits ofPalsgaard emulsifier systems.

Ammonium Phosphatide can be manufactured from any edible oil or fat base. Hereby it is possible to maintain the non-GMO status of the emulsifier – also in future.Palsgaard® AMP 4448 is currently based on non-GMO rapeseed oil sourced from restricted areas in the EU, where the non-GMO status is guaranteed.

Non-GMO also in future

At our independant research center, Nexus, many new functional emulsifiers for the chocolate industry have first seen the light of day. In the advanced laboratories of Nexus, both basic research and applied science are performed giving valuable information on how to compose chocolate. In addition, Nexus performs the quality control and assurance of the Palsgaard emulsifiers beforeleaving our factories.With modern application centres in Denmark, Singapore and Mexico, Palsgaard is also geografically well prepared to pick up market trends from all over the world and to share this valuable knowledge with our customers.

Knowledge and support Quality and food safety

Palsgaard also has pilot plant facilities specializing in the areas of baked products and ice creams. Therefore, Palsgaard is the ideal partner in the development of advanced confectioneries such as cake, biscuit, wafer, cereal, and ice cream, combined with chocolate.

Chocolate pilot plantA fully equipped chocolate pilot plant provides the best basis for understanding the complex nature of chocolate manufacturing. Starting with the mixing followed by refining, conching and tempering, Palsgaard can study the effect of emulsifiers all the way through the manufacturing process.In addition to our traditional chocolate pilot plant, Palsgaard has an all-in-one refiner and conche machine which is suitable for production of a wide range of confectionery products such as chocolate, compound coatings, chocolate spreads, fillings, ice cream coatings etc.Testing on process equipment similar to that used by chocolate manufactures makes it possible to demonstrate the advantages by implementing Palsgaard® AMP 4448 specifically in your recipes.
