Emjel® LC 15 — bridging starch and gelatin for next-generation jellies and gums

  • Emjel® LC 15 is a breakthrough functional starch that closes the gap between traditional starch and gelatin systems. By enabling atmospheric jelly cooking, it delivers the same processing ease as gelatin — while providing the smooth, elastic texture and clarity consumers expect from premium jellies and gums.With Emjel® LC 15 confectionery producers can:
  • Produce gelatin-free jellies & gums under atmospheric conditions — no pressure or vacuum cooking required, also suitable for starch-less moulding
  • Achieve true gelatin-like quality with a smooth, elastic mouthfeel and clear appearance
  • Improve thermostability, ensuring better resistance to heat than gelatin-based recipes
  • Expand into vegan, halal, and kosher markets with a fully plant-based solution
  • Protect sensitive ingredients such as natural flavors, colors, and vitamins through gentler processing
  • Reduce energy consumption and costs thanks to lower cooking temperaturesWith Emjel® LC 15, we are redefining what’s possible in jelly and gum production — combining the processing advantages of gelatin with the benefits of a starch based, plant-derived ingredient. The result is modern, gelatin-free confectionery that meets today’s technical, economic, and consumer demands.
