Mustard – A Natural Solution to Food Additives

Mustard is a highly versatile food ingredient that is increasingly being used for different properties – as an emulsifier (stabilizer in processed foods), binder, natural preservative and for its health properties as an antioxidant.

Continuing Research and the Future of Mustard

✅ G.S. Dunn Ltd. is a member of PRCO and CMA. Both groups support ongoing research and are evaluating new varieties of mustard with specific characteristics for functionality.

✅ Additional research at North American University centers offers GS Dunn insights into additional functional uses and techniques. Current opportunities in the innovation pipeline include:

mustard protein isolate, oil replacement in mayonnaise, antioxidant in vegetable oil and binder replacement of eggs.

This partnership between GS Dunn and FSL will allow us to offer the highest quality and most sophisticated mustard ingredients to our customers in the Middle East.
