New water-soluble food-grade film

MonoSol, Kuraray’s water-soluble films division, launches its food grade film together with its new partner, Dicoisa, a supplier food colors based in Mexico City.  Dicoisa will use MonoSol’s Vivos^® film to package and deliver food colors to processors in Latin America.

The latest food-grade film enables operational optimization via portion control by providing exact measurements per batch and improving convenience. This technology also prevents cross contamination by eliminating dusting in the manufacturing environment.

Pouches engineered from MonoSol’s newest film will dissolve and release their contents when exposed to water. The film is transparent, tasteless and odorless. By using pre-measured quantities of ingredients delivered with the food grade film pouches, foodservice kitchens and food/beverage manufacturers can improve their mixing and product consistency. MonoSol’s newest film can be used to deliver a wide variety of ingredients, food colors, spices, flavors, sweeteners, enzymes, oils and much more.

The new water-soluble films will be demonstrated at IFT 2016 booth #3907 on July 17-19, 2016 at McCormick Place South, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
