Frozen Dessert Ingredient Solutions

March 1, 2021 by Tara Dekovic

In the food industry, now is the time that frozen dessert companies and ingredient suppliers start preparing for the summer season. Gillco provides ingredient solutions for frozen dessert companies – these ingredients go into applications such as ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, sherbet, you name it.

What are Stabilizers?
Stabilizers (Gums & Systems) are a key component in formulating frozen desserts. Stabilizers are added to foods to provide structure, viscosity, stability and other qualities, such as maintaining existing color.

You can add multiple functional ingredients (Gums) to your product yourself, or we can help you find a system that will meet your individual needs. Systems are created as a blend of two or more functional ingredients designed to meet a specific functional or operational need. They’ll help you optimize your raw ingredients lists and processing system by combining several ingredients into a single blend.

We work with one of our manufacturing partners, DuPont, to source the highest quality ingredients for the frozen dessert category. Per DuPont’s website, “Half the world’s ice cream products contain our ingredients that help to achieve desired sensory properties and stability through shelf-life.” You read that right, half the world!
