A dairy powder option for formulations requiring milk solids, dairy flavor and organic program support. Confirm milk-allergen controls, country of origin and current organic documentation.

Ester Gum

A weighting and stabilizing ingredient commonly evaluated for beverage emulsions and flavor-oil systems. Compatibility should be reviewed against the complete emulsion and process.

—— Frequently Asked Questions

Questions before you publish or purchase

The strongest claims are the ones supported by the exact product documentation.

What does Non-GMO Project Verified mean for an ingredient?

It means the specific enrolled product has been evaluated under the Non-GMO Project Standard. Verification is product-specific, so manufacturers should review the current certificate, product name, facility or source scope, and any conditions that apply.

Is every Captain Drake product Non-GMO Project Verified?

No single company-wide statement should be used for every product. Verification and organic status can vary by ingredient, grade, source and current supply program. Confirm the exact item before using a seal or finished-product claim.

Which documents should be requested during qualification?

Typical qualification packages may include the current specification, certificate of analysis, safety data sheet, allergen statement, country-of-origin information, verification or organic certificate where applicable, and other regulatory or quality documents requested by the customer.

Can Captain Drake help match a product to an application?

The sourcing discussion should begin with the ingredient name, intended function, target application, processing conditions, grade, particle size, packaging, annual volume and required documentation so the available options can be compared correctly.

Are certification logos safe to publish on this page?

Only publish a certification logo after confirming the company has permission to use it and that the current certificate covers the exact product or program represented on the page.
