Acidity & pH
Concentration, flavour profile, heat load, colour and dosing format.
Food ingredients for manufacturers
Start with the food product. Then select the ingredient.
Thomsen Food helps select and supply the right functional food ingredient for shelf life, pH, taste, handling, nutrition and process performance.
Application-led selection
Five product needs. The right ingredient route for each.
The same ingredient can behave differently by matrix, process, dosage point and target market. We define the conditions before we recommend a route.
Shelf life & quality
Recipe matrix, microbial objective, moisture, yield and sensory impact.
Sodium strategy
Preservation performance considered inside the complete sodium budget.
Dry-format performance
Distribution, flow, caking, dispersion and process compatibility.
Mineral fortification
Target claim, particle profile, solubility, dosage and taste.
Application perspective
We speak the language of the product.
Each category brings its own process reality. These are starting points for discovery, not one-size-fits-all promises.
Meat & poultry
Shelf life, moisture, yield and recipe balance
Bakery & dry mixes
Controlled dry acidification, handling and consistency
Confectionery
Sour profile, coating behaviour and sugar-system stability
Beverages, sauces & dressings
pH control, acid profile and flavour clarity
Dairy, fruit & fortified foods
Mineral delivery, firmness, solubility and sensory fit
Seafood & chilled foods
Quality retention across processing and distribution
