      Dan,

      Simpless 100 is whey protein concentrate (56% protein).  It is microparticulated in that the particle size is around 1-3 microns.  We have used this to help whitten soups and provide opacity.Spec attached.

      Mineral whitener

      Anhydrous food-grade calcium sulfate is also used as a whitening agent for foods (frostings, ice cream, toothpaste).  May also support a claim of product having extra calcium present as a supplement.

      Michael,

      Interesting.  Have not seen this before.  Simplesse is 20 years old and originally used as a fat mimic in ice cream. I think Edy's.  Simplesse would not be in any violation of any patent but I'd be interested in any hands on results you may have from the above patented product, if there is anything available.

      Hi Dan,
      My lead scientist, Dr. Tammy Crowe, recommends a calcium phosphate, which has whitening ability and can be natural (Innophos has some great products). Dr. Crowe has specific expertise in emulsions (retort), particularly creamy soups/sauces. If you're interested in discussing ways to negate the need for color change, which will likely save money over your current emulsion, let me know and I'll connect you two.
       
      Thanks.
