MaGie Creations has announced the world’s first emulsifier crafted using spent brewer’s grain as an ingredient that prioritizes versatility, but also sustainability. The emulsifier maintains a clean label profile that’s positioned as an alternative to ultra-processed and synthetic emulsifiers as consumers become more weary of the ingredients. The emulsifier, named PowerBond, is reported by the brand to be suited to a wide range of food applications from baked goods to meat alternatives with a competitive price point to boot.

MaGie Creations Product Development Lead Ellen van der Starre spoke on PowerBond saying, “The future of food isn’t just about what we eat — it’s about how we make it. We need comprehensive, systemic solutions that begin with reimagining food production. By thoroughly studying brewer’s grain, we uncovered the inherent functional properties embedded within this valuable biomass — enabling us to create PowerBond, an emulsifier that requires minimal processing of the raw material only, whilst avoiding the creation of new residue streams.”
