INFUSE by Cargill™ functional systems & design
Consumers want it all – healthier, more sustainable, more label-friendly foods & beverages. But they are unwilling to compromise on taste and texture. This puts increased pressure on manufacturers to accelerate product development to meet the latest trends. On top of that, with more plant-based eating coming to the fore, formulations are becoming increasingly complex.
Enter INFUSE by Cargill™ functional systems & design. These blends of ingredients can provide technical and operational benefits to customers. Much more than being simple ingredient mixes, INFUSE by Cargill™ solutions are meticulously crafted systems with optimal ingredient ratios that are designed to harness ingredient synergies.
They provide targeted functionalities such as thickening, gelling, emulsifying, water-binding, and shape retention. Moreover, they can offer potential cost savings, reduce complexity in sourcing, development and production, and may speed up innovation to market.
“Given today’s complex formulation challenges, the days of solving problems with a single ingredient are gone.”

Enhanced functionality
Our functional systems help to ensure the best results in your specific formulation. They’ve been carefully designed to optimally leverage ingredient synergies, and are based on years of ingredients and application expertise. We have a wide range of ready-made solutions which we can tailor to your exact needs or process, or we can also design a new solution from scratch. Ultimately, our solutions focus is to optimally address your specific functional challenge:
- Thickening
- Stabilizing
- Water-binding
- Gelling
- Emulsifying
Operational efficiencies
Blended solutions come with a range of operational benefits, helping you save time and potentially money as well. In this way, you can:
- Benefit from economies of scale to order, control, stock, and track your SKUs.
- Speed up your development work with ready-to-use building blocks.
- Simplify your production processes thanks to easier handling and dispersion of a pre-blended solution.
- Reduce the chance of measuring issues due to human error.
The Cargill advantage
Our solutions are backed by “the Cargill advantage”:
- They leverage Cargill’s extensive ingredient portfolio spanning texturizers, sweeteners, proteins, fibers, cocoa powders, and more.
- They are focused on optimally addressing challenges, thanks to our extensive ingredient and application knowledge.
- They are backed by our full support across the supply chain whereby we help minimize supply disruptions and provide comprehensive price risk solutions.
- They come with comprehensive quality assurance, as all our selected ingredients adhere to applicable regulatory, and food safety standards.
- They come with ensured measurement of properties such as rheology, particle size, dispersion, and shelf-life stability, to meet the agreed functional, physical, chemical, and microbiological specifications.
- They are strengthened by our end-to-end commercialization support to help prototype, test, and scale-up new products.
