Shelf life and stabilisation - Cloned

Brands are built on stable foundations

Consumers expect lasting quality. We make it possible. Our experts deliver solutions that not only ensure great taste, but also preserve texture, coherence and performance over time; from formulation to distribution and beyond. That’s how you provide the true value consumers are looking for. 


The true value of shelf-life

Tate & Lyle Positive Nutrition Solutions - Fortification
Reliable performance drives repeat purchase
Consumers know when a product isn’t stable. Phase separation over time, syneresis, texture changes and visual defects are all obvious. And when your product breaks down, so does consumer trust, reducing the chance of repeat purchase.

Strong stabilisation is more than just a technical challenge. Get it right and it can be a true value driver for your whole brand.
Tate & Lyle's Clean Label Solutions - Mouthfeel
Stability starts before the shelf
Longer distances, wider temperature variations, and varying e-commerce conditions. Modern supply chains mean products must withstand mechanical, thermal and time-related stress.

We create formulations that are stable from Day 1 and maintain performance every step of the way; from manufacturing and storage, to distribution and end-of-shelf-life.
Tate & Lyle Shelf Life Value
Value with every step
• Consumer Value: Protects eating experience and drives preference and repurchase.
• Operational Value: Reduces failures, variability, plant downtime and Quality Control intervention.
• Commercial Value: Minimises waste, reworks, customer claims and supply-chain interruptions.
• Innovation Value: Enables sugar/fat/egg reduction, fortification, plant-based and clean-label reformulation without added risk.
• Supply Chain Value: Supports wider distribution, longer storage and resilience under variable logistics conditions.

Solution Spotlight

With expert support and an extensive ingredient portfolio spanning fibres, sweeteners, starches, hydrocolloids and more, we can find the right solution for any goal. 

Stabilisation and suspension: We can provide gelation, suspension, syneresis control, heat/acid stability and consistent texture over shelf life with our diverse range of hydrocolloids. 

  • GENU® Pectin 
  • KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum 
  • GENU® Carrageenan 
  • KELTROL® Xanthan Gum

Texture, structure and process tolerance 

Our proprietary clean-label and modified starches deliver viscosity, body, freeze–thaw stability, shear resilience and structure retention; especially in dairy, sauces, fillings and frozen products.

  • CLARIA® Clean-Label Starches 

  • Modified Starches 

Moisture and bulk management  

We utilise a mix of fibres, like soluble corn or citrus fibres, polydextrose, and FOS/GOS, in order to support water binding, deliver bulk replacement in sugar-reduced formulations, recover texture and create longer lasting softness.

Explore the categories where our stability solutions are used daily.  

Our ingredients are a critical part of providing moisture control and freeze-thaw stability, ensuring quality, texture and long-lasting satisfaction for consumers.  

We’re able to utilise ingredients that deliver suspension, prevent phase separation, and ensure uniformity and visual appeal throughout shelf-life. 

In the confectionery industry our products contribute to stable texture, bite retention, heat resistance, and aid with e-commerce stability. All of which deliver stability in performance and supply.  

From traditional dairy to reduced-fat or plant-based reformulations, our ingredients provide protein protection and enhance viscosity retention in both refrigerated and shelf stable products. 

We formulate solutions that improve freeze–thaw stability and control ice crystal formation across multiple types of frozen desserts, without compromising creaminess or melting performance.  

Using our solutions portfolio, we deliver enhanced syneresis control and improved emulsification across a wide range of soups, sauces, and dressings. This includes fat- and egg‑reduced formulations.
