The power and versatility of Dairyblend SC-ASC is that it can be used for acid set, cultured standard and reduced fat sour cream, without the use of mono-diglyceride emulsifiers," said Donna Klockerman, PhD., Dairy Food Scientist for TIC Gums.  This range of applications will make it more useful to sour cream makers."
