Ammonium Phosphatides

What are they?

Ammonium phosphatides (AMP) are plant-based emulsifiers that help oil and water get along. They’re best known for their role in chocolate and confectionery, where they improve flow properties, reduce viscosity, and create that silky texture consumers love. AMP offers a neutral taste and performs exceptionally well in high-fat systems, making it a go-to choice for chocolate makers who value consistency without compromise. 

But AMP isn’t just for chocolate bars. It’s also used in bakery applications, think chocolate-coated pastries, creamy fillings, and specialty baked goods where emulsification matters. Derived from plant oils like rapeseed, AMP is a smart alternative for brands seeking non-GMO or allergen-friendly options. 

Who uses them?

Ammonium phosphatides are trusted by a range of food industry players: 

  • Chocolate and Confectionery Manufacturers - For smooth texture, improved flow, and reduced fat bloom in chocolate. 
  • Industrial Bakeries - Ideal for fillings, coatings, and chocolate-based inclusions that need stability and consistency. 
  • Spreads and Margarine Producers - Keeps high-fat systems stable and prevents separation. 
  • Brands and Retailers - Looking for clean-label alternatives to lecithin? AMP delivers plant-based performance that meets modern consumer expectations.
