Cane sugar - Import export

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid naturally found in many vegetables, cheeses, mushrooms, and seaweed broth. It is usually obtained by the fermentation of starch, sugar cane, sugar beet or molasses. It is resistant to decomposition when cooked and turns brown when exposed to high temperatures in the presence of sugar. MSG is a white crystalline powder, odorless and water soluble with a shelf life of three years when stored in a cool, dry place. Foodcom S.A. offers MSG in 25 kg bags. The popularity of Monosodium Glutamate stems from its ability to impart a unique flavor known as "umami," which is considered the fifth taste. This makes it a widely used ingredient in the food industry, especially to enhance the flavor of meats, soups, baked goods, condiments and other products.

Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide commonly used as a food additive with the code E415. It is obtained from the fermentation of plants such as corn or cane sugar. The final product is a free-flowing white powder that dissolves easily in water and has a shelf life of about two years. Foodcom S.A. supplies its Business Partners with Xanthan Gum in 25 kg bags. It is commonly used as a thickener, texturizer and stabilizer in various products such as salad dressings, condiments, syrups, sauces, meats, sausages, baked goods, frozen products and ice cream. Xanthan Gum is particularly useful in gluten-free and vegan products, as it can improve texture and suspension and create viscosity that would normally be achieved by using eggs. It is also used in the oil and gas industry to maximize oil recovery, in cosmetics as a stabilizer and emulsifier, and in medicine. In addition, Xanthan Gum is an ingredient in paints, textile dyes, fungicides, fertilizers and adhesives.
