Food Ingredients & Additives

Food Ingredients & Additives

Supporting bakery, dairy, beverage, confectionery, snack, and nutritional supplement manufacturers with enzymes, sweeteners, starches, vitamins, and specialty flavors.

Market Overview

Target Chemicals is Jordan’s leading specialty food ingredients distributor, serving bakery, dairy, beverage, confectionery, snack, and nutritional supplement manufacturers across the Levant and broader MENA region. We are the authorized regional distributor for Novonesis (formerly Novozymes), Tate & Lyle, DSM-Firmenich, Emsland Group, AROMSA, and additional principals whose combined portfolios cover every functional ingredient category a food manufacturer needs.

Our team of food scientists and application engineers works alongside your R&D and production teams. We do not just ship ingredients — we help you select the right grade, run application trials, optimize dosage, troubleshoot formulations, and navigate regulatory requirements. From concept to commercial production, we are your technical partner on the ground.

The food manufacturing landscape in the Middle East is evolving rapidly. Consumers are demanding cleaner labels, reduced sugar, higher fibre content, and functional nutrition — all without compromising on the taste and texture they love. Regulatory frameworks are tightening around food safety, fortification requirements, and labeling transparency. At the same time, manufacturers face cost pressures from volatile raw material markets and competitive pricing.

Our portfolio and our technical capabilities are designed to help you navigate all of these challenges. We supply the ingredients that enable reformulation, the knowledge that accelerates product development, and the local stock that ensures production never stops.

Enzyme Solutions

Enzymes are the most versatile tools in modern food processing. As the authorized Novonesis (formerly Novozymes) distributor for Jordan and the region, we supply the full range of food-grade enzymes for baking, beverages, and general food processing.

Baking Enzymes

Our baking enzyme portfolio addresses every stage of the bread-making process:

  • Novamyl® — the industry benchmark for anti-staling. Keeps bread soft for days after baking, reducing waste and extending commercial shelf life.
  • Fungamyl® and BAN® — amylases that optimize dough handling and crumb structure.
  • Pentopan® — xylanase that improves dough stability and tolerance to process variations.
  • Lipopan® — lipase that strengthens gluten networks and improves crumb whiteness.
  • Panzea® — xylanase for dough stability and improved tolerance across varying flour quality.
  • Gluzyme Fortis® — glucose oxidase for gluten strengthening through oxidative crosslinking.
  • Sensea® — endo-amylase for controlled starch modification and optimized crumb softness.
  • Neutrase® — protease for controlled protein modification and dough extensibility.

We conduct baking trials in our facilities to fine-tune enzyme combinations and dosages for your specific flour quality, process, and product targets.

Beverage Enzymes

  • Novoshape® — pectinase for fruit juice clarification, depectinization, and yield improvement.
  • Glucoamylases — for complete starch saccharification in syrup production and brewing adjunct processing.
  • Alpha-amylases — for starch liquefaction in brewing and sweetener production.
  • Beta-glucanases — improve wort and beer filtration by breaking down beta-glucans from barley and other cereals.

Food Processing Enzymes

Beyond specific application categories, we supply amylases, proteases, and lipases for starch conversion, protein modification, and fat and oil processing. Our application engineers help you identify the right enzyme for your substrate, process conditions, and target outcome.

Sweeteners & Texturants

As the authorized Tate & Lyle distributor in Jordan and the Levant, we supply the world’s most trusted sweetener and fibre ingredient brands to food and beverage manufacturers.

SPLENDA® Sucralose

SPLENDA® Sucralose is a zero-calorie, high-intensity sweetener that is 600 times sweeter than sugar. It is heat-stable, pH-stable, and does not promote tooth decay — making it ideal for baked goods, beverages, dairy products, confectionery, sauces, and dressings. SPLENDA® is approved in over 80 countries and supported by more than 100 scientific studies. We supply both powder and liquid grades to match your production requirements.

PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre

PROMITOR® Soluble Corn Fibre is a prebiotic dietary fibre available in 70%, 85%, and 90% fibre content grades. It enables sugar reduction, calorie reduction, and fibre enrichment claims across bakery, beverages, cereals, dairy, and nutrition bars. PROMITOR® has a clean, neutral taste, excellent process stability, and proven prebiotic benefits supported by clinical studies.

STA-LITE® Polydextrose

STA-LITE® Polydextrose is a versatile soluble fibre that replaces sugar and fat while maintaining texture, mouthfeel, and moisture in baked goods, confectionery, frozen desserts, and dairy products. It provides only 1 kcal per gram and qualifies as a dietary fibre in most regulatory frameworks.

Modified Food Starches

Tate & Lyle’s modified food starches deliver viscosity, texture, and stability in sauces, dressings, soups, gravies, and dairy products. These starches are designed for specific process conditions — freeze-thaw stability, retort stability, acid tolerance — and our team helps you match the right starch to your application.

Vitamins & Nutritional Ingredients

As the authorized DSM-Firmenich distributor in Jordan, we supply the most comprehensive vitamin and nutritional ingredient portfolio available in the region — serving food fortification, dietary supplement, and infant nutrition manufacturers. The DSM-Firmenich portfolio includes complete B-complex vitamins, beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin, carotenoid premixes, DHA and EPA from plant-derived sources, and DELVO® cultures for food preservation.

We maintain local stock of high-demand DSM-Firmenich products for fast delivery across our regional network.

Starches & Texturants

As the authorized Emsland Group distributor in Jordan, we bring German engineering and agricultural expertise to the food starch market across the Levant. Emsland potato and pea starches offer functional properties that corn and wheat starches often cannot match, including superior gelling, water-binding, and clean-label characteristics. Product categories include:

  • Potato starches (Emjel® and Empure® ranges)
  • Pea starches with exceptional gelling properties
  • Potato flakes for instant potato applications
  • Clean-label, minimally processed starches for natural positioning

Flavors & Taste Solutions

As the authorized AROMSA distributor in Jordan, we provide a full spectrum of flavors, extracts, and taste solutions from one of Turkey’s leading flavor houses. AROMSA’s portfolio includes fruit powders, extracts, sauces, syrups, caramel colorants, and seasoning blends formulated for bakery, confectionery, dairy, beverage, and savory applications. Flavor is the single most important factor in consumer product acceptance, and AROMSA’s strength lies in understanding Middle Eastern and Mediterranean taste preferences at a deep cultural level.

Food Preservatives & Stabilizers

Effective preservation and stabilization are essential for product safety, quality, and shelf life — especially in the warm climates of the Middle East. Our portfolio spans:

  • DELVO® cultures from DSM-Firmenich that inhibit spoilage organisms naturally
  • Pectin and specialty gum stabilizer systems
  • Functional starches that stabilize emulsions, suspend particles, and control moisture migration
  • Natural mold inhibitors (J&K Ingredients Bred-Mate® 1600) for clean-label bakery preservation

We help manufacturers design preservation and stabilization strategies that maintain product integrity from production through consumer use.
