With the support of this new factory, BLG Group can provide the markets with nearly 10 different types of hydrocolloids, such as refined and semi-refined Kappa and Iota carrageenan, konjac gum, agar-agar, curdlan gum, gellan gum, and xanthan gum, meet the growing demand for hydrocolloids in various end products, and empower the growth of several industries including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and personal care.
