Guangzhou Masson Science and Technology Industry Company Limited

As a “technology innovation + technical service” oriented company, Masson operates a sales and technical service network covering all of China.

We are a raw-material and technical-solution supplier to many renowned food companies, offering custom-developed products — backed by particularly strong R&D capability and experience in specialty functional emulsifiers — to deliver richer, more precise and safer technical solutions to our customers.

Our goal is to provide high-quality products and services, grow together with our partners, and achieve win-win outcomes.

As one of the pioneers in China’s food additives and ingredients industry and a leading player in functional food emulsifiers, Masson traces its origins to the Guangzhou Light Industry Research Institute — innovation has been the gene and driving force of our growth.

Over more than four decades, Masson has achieved numerous industry “firsts” in China: we created the Yinggu cake emulsifier and defoamer in the 1980s, and the Yinggu brand has long held the No.1 position in the market; we were the first company in China to produce molecularly distilled monoglyceride; and in 2001, we became the first in China to achieve industrial-scale production of the nutritional fortifier casein phosphopeptide (CPP).

In 2008, a food emulsifier production plant with an annual capacity of 15,000 tonnes was put into operation, making Masson one of the country’s leading integrated emulsifier manufacturers.

Since 2015, we have developed a series of food ingredient products, expanding our product portfolio to serve a broader range of customers. Looking ahead, Masson will continue to leverage its technological strength and product innovation to meet the ever more diverse and personalized needs of our customers.

Masson has built a nationwide sales network supported by dedicated sales, marketing and overseas sales teams.

In addition, we have established finely specialized R&D teams and application technical service teams tailored to our product portfolio, providing products and services to diverse customer groups, including international food groups, industrial users, distributors and chain manufacturers.

Q: Can Masson's emulsifier monomers meet European quality standards?

A: Taking E471 Mono- and Diglycerides as an example, with reference to Regulation EU 231.2012 and the supplementary content of Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1428 of 7 July 2023, they can meet the requirements. --- Source: Official Journal of the European Union 10.7.2023.

Masson has always adhered to industry quality standards and maintained communication with friends in various regions.

Q: Are Masson's emulsifier products all non-animal origin and suitable for vegetarians?

A: Taking Masson's E475, E471, E472(c, e, g), and E491 products as examples, they are all of non-animal origin. For vegetarian-related information, you may consult our sales representatives and the corresponding certification details.

Masson is a firm supporter of OUKOSHER.

Q: Can Masson's products be used in cosmetics and daily chemical products?

A: We have always maintained communication with customers in Asia who have relevant needs. Our emulsifiers are food-grade, safe, and reliable.

Of course, emulsifiers for food-specific applications are the main path that Masson has persisted in for the past 40 years, and we continue to strive for this.

Q: Our client is engaged in the production of biscuits and their fillings. Do you have suitable recommendations? For example, anhydrous shortening, sauce fillings, spreads, etc.

A: Masson independently produces various glycerol fatty acid esters and sorbitan fatty acid esters, which can be applied to various biscuits and anhydrous shortenings. However, Masson only has shortening specifically for toast bread, filling sauces specifically for Chinese-style baked pastries (such as cheese-flavored sauce, chocolate-flavored sauce, etc.), and baking flavor powders. We do not have high-sugar solid fillings (sauces) for biscuits.

Masson and its subsidiaries are dedicated to providing services for baking-specific fats, frying-specific fats, various flavored soft filling sauces, and pastry emulsifier improvement.

Q: Do you have experience in producing cake oil? I would like to buy your emulsifiers for blending. Or, can you do contract manufacturing of cake oil?

A: Masson has more than 30 years of experience in cake oil production. However, cake recipes, flavors, and raw materials vary across regions and countries, so we cannot recommend everything in one go. Nevertheless, we can select the main emulsifiers required for cake oil production for you. For specific blending techniques, you can further communicate with our sales representatives or technical team. As for contract manufacturing of cake oil, let's discuss the details later.

Masson's products may not be the absolute top-tier, but we have a baking team of more than 20 people who can provide you with suitable debugging solutions. There will always be one that suits you.

Q: Are all your raw materials sourced from palm oil? Do you have products with high C18 or high C22?

A: Thank you for your attention. First, our products are divided into emulsifier monomers, compound emulsifiers, and pastry-specific food ingredients. Second, all of our emulsifiers can be customized or adjusted according to customer requirements. Of course, it should be mentioned that if your company has requirements such as RSPO, non-palm, non-allergen, non-GMO, or non-hydrogenated, please share this information with us in advance. Third, our compound emulsifiers or food ingredients are generally derived from palm oil or soybean oil, which may not match your needs. However, please feel free to put forward your requirements, and our technical team will patiently provide suggestions or feedback. Who knows, it might be an innovative exchange.

Innovation is not a simple matter of supply and demand. Perhaps through collision and friction, we can ignite new ideas.

Q: Which companies do you cooperate with? This will help give us confidence in promoting and using your products.

A: Among the internationally renowned grain and food companies ABCD, two of them have factories in mainland China, and we have always maintained good cooperation and communication. In addition, the international top 5 in the dairy industry, active dry yeast industry, and food oil industry have all maintained cooperation with us for more than 10 years across multiple varieties. Among these, customized glycerol fatty acid esters are particularly prominent.

The glycerol esters you are interested in may contain many subcategories. Let's discuss them in detail.

Q: Our target is the Korean and Japanese markets or groups with usage habits there. Can your products comply with local regulatory requirements and usage standards? We are particularly concerned about microbial contamination indicators.

A: Internationally, the Official Journal of the European Union, the Japanese Standards for Food and Food Additives, and the United Nations JECFA --- Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (the joint expert committee of the FAO/WHO on food additives, which conducts safety assessments of food additives, contaminants, natural toxins, veterinary medicine residues, etc.) --- China's national food safety standards for food additives are also aligned with the above international standards, and our company strictly implements them.

Food safety is our top priority.
