Z Trim Holdings opens industrial ingredients division

PRNewswire

Mundelein-based Z Trim Holdings Inc. said it has created an industrial ingredients division to address a broad range of new markets.

As many of today’s ingredients, such as guar gum, CMC, xanthan gum and modified food starches, are used in both food and industrial applications, Z Trim Holdings has developed a line of industrial ingredients stemming from its patented and proprietary technologies. Specifically, Z Trim Holdings, Inc. believes that it can provide products to help alleviate the pressures caused by the global shortage of guar gum.

Z Trim Holdings has developed ingredients it says are superior to many widely used ingredients such as binders/adhesives, viscofiers, and emulsifiers. The company identified several new markets that it will seek to expand into with its ingredients.

“By deconstructing the building blocks of virtually any biomass, we are able to unlock a wealth of nature’s functional ingredients,” stated Steve Cohen, CEO of Z Trim Holdings. “We believe that our natural, environmentally friendly products can make a significant impact in energy production, minerals and metals production, and other industrial sectors. Our goal is to become a major player in the global industrial ingredients market, and we continue to develop new technologies that will help our customers produce cleaner, greener and better finished products.” 

The company has filed for an additional patent to expand on its intellectual property and enhance protection for its new industrial products and applications.

Z Trim Holdings is an agricultural ingredient technology company that owns products and processes to make use of biomass for uses in the food and industrial markets.   The Company’s food division currently sells a line of products to the food industry that can help food manufacturers reduce their costs and help them solve many production problems.
