Understanding the Quality Control Process at Bell Chem

When you order a product, it is imperative it functions as advertised. This becomes critical when the product is included in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or food and beverage industries. Rest assured all products from chemical supplier Bell Chem pass strict quality control processes from development to shipping. 

Quality control is more than the methodology of conducting business. It is also a mindset, with every Bell Chem employee representing quality measures in every department. When these vital employees understand their role in assuring a product maintains its level of quality throughout all processes, production, storing, shipping, and handling become more streamlined while the ingredients and chemicals sustain an extreme level of cleanliness and care.

These processes are more than talk. Each Bell Chem department is responsible for documenting their roles in the process. Further, Bell Chem is registered through many regulatory authorities, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). All regulatory authorities closely examine and certify Bell Chem meets or exceeds all their standards of care.

Supplement Trends to Follow in 2025

Every new year gives us the perspective of examining the previous year and planning for the following year. Supplemental ingredients follow this trend with each year either building on a product or introducing a new supplement to pique the palates of millions of consumers. Food ingredient supplier Bell Chem delivers to you the latest in the $131 billion supplement market so you can better understand the desires of consumers and increase your market share.

What is a supplement?

Almost every ingredient increases the nutritional value of a food. Supplements bolster those nutrients, giving consumers an extra boost in the foods they eat. Supplements may be packaged as gummies, liquids, pills, or powders. While some supplements (gummies and liquids, for instance) are stand-alone products, others may be added to foods and beverages and advertised on the package as “fortified” foods. Supplements are present as amino acids, herbs, minerals, and vitamins. For 2025, consumers are looking forward to sampling these supplements.

Natural supplements

Plant-based supplements are trending upward and include flaxseed, iron, vitamins, and zinc. As an added bonus, these products are more environmentally friendly and vegan. As opposed to synthetic supplements, natural supplements are more readily absorbed in the digestive system and delivered more rapidly to where they are needed most within the body. For consumers with allergic reactions, natural supplements are also generally less caustic to the immune system. 

Collagen 

The Baby Boom generation is aging, and collagen’s ability to enhance the appearance and function of hair, skin, and joints gives it a decisive market edge, with its market share increasing more than 10% annually. Collagen is a structural protein providing a strong framework to blood vessels, bone and muscle cells, tendons and ligaments, and even the eye’s cornea. While Americans are finally recognizing the importance of collagen as a supplement and responding with enhanced sales, Asian markets noted its importance long ago.

The Mental Edge

The pandemic focused attention on the growing concern of mental well-being and stress relief, and supplements provide an easy method to boost mental and physical energy while improving overall mood. Vitamins B, C, and D along with gingko and magnesium promote mental well-being while ginseng, creatine, B vitamins, and caffeine enhance mental and physical activity. Look for all these supplements in an abundance of products hitting the shelves this year.

Environmental stewardship

Regardless of the supplement, consumers are becoming hyperaware of how its processing and packaging affect the environment. To that end, sustainably sourced and produced supplements in eco-friendly packaging have reached the forefront of concern. Include tags such as organic, non-GMO, and project verified on your environmentally-friendly packaging for a boost in sales.

Why Customer Service Matters in the Chemical Supplier Industry

Purchasing ingredients and chemicals is often intimidating, especially if you do not have a degree in chemistry. What reacts with other chemicals? Should you dilute this chemical? What food ingredients work well in baked goods versus frozen products? Fortunately, chemical supplier Bell Chem has your back with our excellent, knowledgeable customer service force to answer your questions. 

When Bell Chem was founded in 1992, John Cervo and Charles Williams focused on more than stocking a warehouse full of chemicals. They fully understood the importance of backing their products with the expertise of a customer service team able to help their customer base with all their questions, from when products would be delivered to how abrasive a cleaner would be on a metal surface. 

The role of customer service has grown as Bell Chem’s business has expanded. Bell Chem is able to offer its customers a personalized experience. Clients deserve a one-to-one relationship with a representative who understands their specific needs and can recommend the best products to meet those needs, and Bell Chem makes that relationship a reality. 

Transactions with Bell Chem’s customer service team might run the gamut of explaining when to expect a package shipped overnight, giving customers a list of Kosher ingredients currently stocked in Bell Chem’s inventory, or knowing the latest trends in supplements.

While customer service is essential in the success of any business, it is even more necessary in a company such as Bell Chem, since we supply chemicals and supplements designed to be used in medical, food service, and personal care industries. These ingredients will greatly enhance the lives of those who use them when used properly. Trained customer service technicians can assist in explaining the details and interactions of specific chemicals.

Bell Chem’s quality control by a third-party entity ensures the chemicals sold to our customers are pure and will react predictably. It also means all areas within Bell Chem’s organization meet specific standards from the time the chemical components enter the warehouse until it is shipped to you. This method of customer service exists to give you the peace of mind that what you order is exactly what is sent to you. We pride ourselves on our error-free commitment from your order placement through delivery and billing. Remember, many companies might stock a chemical your company needs, but Bell Chem backs that chemical with the customer service experience you deserve.

Key Benefits of Flaxseed Oil in Food Production

While food ingredient supplier Bell Chem recognizes the importance of flaxseed oil — also recognized as flax oil or linseed oil — we realize that some clients may not. Below is information to assist in your choice of the best oil for your specific food production. Chances are, flaxseed oil will fill those needs and give your end users the benefit of better health. 

Flaxseed oil contains omega-3 fats, considered essential fats since our bodies cannot manufacture them; they must be obtained from our diets. This gives flaxseed oil an extremely important role in what we consume. How can it help your consumers? 

Contains omega-3 fats

When most consumers think of fat, they believe they need to cut it out of their diets. However, polyunsaturated omega-3 fats reduce the risk of heart disease and arrhythmia, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), blood clots, and even premature death for those with an underlying heart condition by lowering levels of cholesterol. Alpha linoleic acid (ALA) in particular has proven beneficial to treat obesity, insulin resistance, and may aid in preventing diabetic retinopathy.

Rich in lignans

Lignans are considered antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. Antioxidants, such as the tocopherols, beta-carotene, phytosterols, polyphenols, and flavonoids present in flaxseed oil, are recognized as reducing oxidation of cells, which can damage or destroy them. 

Inflammation has been a hot topic for many years as contributing to dozens of health issues, such as heart disease, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. When cells are under the stress of countering excess oxygen, the addition of flaxseed oil to allay that stress also stanches inflammation, a response to cellular stress. These stressors may extend to the reduction of specific types of cancer, including breast cancer. 

Bone and muscle strength

Flaxseed oil stimulates osteoblast activity, which increases bone mineral density to strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis. For muscles, the composition of skeletal muscle cells’ semipermeable lipid membrane is strengthened with flaxseed oil.

Immunology boosting

A study determined that rats given a course of flaxseed oil over time were less susceptible to Streptococcus pheumoniae infections than those not dosed with flaxseed oil, proving the efficacy of flaxseed oil’s antimicrobial activities. At least 6 additional microbial families were thwarted by the immune system of animals dosed with flaxseed oil.

Understanding Caffeine as a USP Ingredient

The jittery burst of energy most consumers enjoy from their jolt of coffee has uses outside the confines of a coffee cup. Caffeine as a USP ingredient is heavily documented and readily recognized as one of USP ingredient supplier Bell Chem’s most useful products. 

Caffeine as a vasoconstrictor

Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it decreases the diameter of blood vessels. With this slight shrinkage, blood flow within epidermal capillaries is restricted enough for the skin to appear brighter and more toned. Find caffeine as an ingredient in anti-aging formulas and wrinkle reduction creams for the face, eyes, and entire body.

When creams containing caffeine are applied under the eyes, less blood pools at the skin’s surface eliminating dark patches beneath the eyes and reducing edema. 

Caffeine as an antioxidant

Caffeine can protect against UVA and UVB rays when applied to the skin. Even more, ongoing research suggests antioxidants may also restore damaged cells, including cancerous cells as it causes apoptosis (cell death) in these renegade cells.

Caffeine in healthcare

Premature infants need constant care, and caffeine works on several fronts to preserve the well-being of preemies. In times of respiratory distress, caffeine acts as a respiratory stimulant. This decreases apneic episodes and induces the diaphragm to contract more regularly. One in 10 babies born – 15 million infants – suffers from apnea and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a condition which can lead to asthma or emphysema later in life. The addition of caffeine in the care regimen of these tiny babies reduces these distressing situations and improves the lives of these children long term.

Migraine sufferers have long sought relief with caffeine, and many medications for migraine relief contain caffeine for its vasoconstricting properties.

What is Heptane, and How is it Used?

The world is dependent on crude oil for many of its functions, and one of crude oil’s derivatives is heptane. Industrial chemical supplier Bell Chem ensures it stocks heptane because of its myriad uses across industries. Learn how your business can benefit from heptane by reading below. 

Petroleum industries

Heptane is a volatile, colorless, straight-chain hydrocarbon distilled from petroleum. It is basically water-insoluble. Combine that with its high volatility, and it is easier to understand the octane rating scale. Heptane naturally combusts in gasoline, and low-octane gasoline contains excess heptane, which causes engines to “knock.” 

This combustibility, which is undesirable in automotive engines, proves ideal for other fuel-consuming machines, such as liquid fuel stoves used in camping or other outdoor activities. These stoves require rapid and ongoing heat and heptane’s constant combustion is ideal.

Heptane isomers

Breaking down heptane adds further dimensions for its uses, including in aviation fuel, naphtha, paint coatings and thinners, and in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Forensics

The ability to lift fingerprints from hard surfaces has benefited law enforcement for decades. Heptane acts as a solvent in the development of latent prints — invisible to the naked eye, but evident with physical or chemical manipulation — as it ensures the print’s clarity without denaturing oil-based ink.

Food industry

Vegetable oil is not easily released from its host. Heptane isomers are responsible for chemically extracting the oil by separating the solid proteins from the oil in canola, cottonseed, peanuts, soybeans, and sunflower seeds.

Printing

Printer inks use heptane as a solvent since it suspends dyes to deliver consistent colors copy after copy. Even more, the pages are slick and colorfast.

Rubber industry

Ever wonder why tires are “vulcanized”? In the past, tires would melt when subjected to hot summer roads. Vulcanization prevents tires from breaking down in extreme temperatures, and heptane is a main component as a compounder in this process. 

Rubber cement also requires heptane to work properly. The ability to physically spread rubber onto a surface is possible when heptane evenly distributes tiny particles of rubber throughout its solvent base.

How Xanthan Gum Holds Beauty Products Together

When you manufacture cosmetics and personal care products, it is important to recognize the roles of many of the ingredients necessary for products to react in predictable ways. Xanthan gum, for instance, is one of the products personal care raw ingredients supplier Bell Chem supplies to thicken and emulsify beauty products, from lotions to hair care products and beyond.

Xanthan gum forms in a fermentation process with the bacteria Xanthomonas campestris imbibes on sugar to create a gummy substance ideal for binding or thickening ingredients. For skincare, the addition of xanthan gum makes products silkier, helps in spreading topical cosmetics, and deters the breakdown of products into their singular components. 

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, or complex sugar molecule. As such, it not only acts as an emulsifier, but it also may greatly benefit the epithelium. A metadata study concluded that polysaccharides have the potential to act as an “…antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, healing, antiviral, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, anticoagulant, insecticidal, hypolipidemic, antiparasitic, and radioprotective” agent. How many other emulsifiers can make this claim?

The beauty of emulsification

Many products tend not to naturally combine, such as water and oil. With so many beauty products containing both these ingredients, the tendency to separate is great. Xanthan gum prevents oil from floating to the surface of bottles and containers by binding the water to the oil – emulsification. This improves texture and spreadability, and consumers appreciate that xanthan gum is a natural product that can be used in minute amounts to create the perfect results. 

Thicker products, better results

At a low shear rate (minimal force), xanthan gum maintains its high viscosity. This gives it the ability to maintain its shape when mechanically manipulated; it is still able to be squeezed through a tube, for instance, without breaking down. This makes it ideal for many cosmetics and skin care products, especially those containing high pigmentation since uniformity is key in spreading even coloration.

While some products are viscous at specific temperatures and pH ranges, xanthan gum is stable between 10 and 60 Celsius (50° - 140° Fahrenheit) and from pH 3 to 12.

Viscosity and lather are surprisingly closely connected. A viscous product, when manipulated, produces air pockets – bubbles – that are perceived as lather. Rather than quickly popping, as soap bubbles are prone to do, lather with xanthan gum maintains its stability even with manipulation.

As a natural product with no recorded reactions with other ingredients, xanthan gum hinders neither products nor the human body.

Understanding the Trend Toward Functional Sweets

Consumers like to feel good about what they are eating, whether it’s a healthy salad or a sugary snack. Nutritional ingredient supplier Bell Chem wishes to demystify the role of functional sweets for commercial producers to keep up with the latest trends. Knowing today’s functional sweet market constitutes $3.7 billion a year and will increase to almost $6 billion in 5 years, it is imperative to understand consumer trends in this expanding market.

Cookies with a punch

Almost 1/5 of parents (19%) report they would prefer to give their children healthy cookies if the option was available. Most parents recognize their children readily choose cookies over fruits or vegetables, so adding vitamins, such as A, C, and E, and minerals, including folic acid, magnesium, phosphoric acid, and zinc normally found in fresh produce into confections satisfy both children and parents. 

The gut microbiome is foremost on the minds of many consumers; adding pre- and probiotics to cookies along with natural fiber reduces bloating and regulates a healthy gut. Two of the fastest-growing food categories happen to be probiotics and fiber.

Fuel for the body

Gone are the days when consumers would grab a candy bar in between breakfast and lunch. Instead, they look for snacks that satisfy more than hunger and a product that stresses the importance of nutrition, rest, recovery, or sleep. Cookies and cereals have recently begun boasting sleep-related products to lull the public into a proper night’s rest. Consumers are turning to magnesium, chamomile, and lavender. Many industries rely on sleep health experts to create products specific to this trend, especially considering the body’s natural tendency is to consume a sweet snack close to bedtime. Because high-glycemic snacks and quality of sleep are at odds, snack makers find working with experts key to improving their foods.

Less sugar, all the flavor

Advertising products containing less sugar than other national brands is another trend consumers have found alluring. Most manufacturers heavily sweeten their products, and even a reduction of 25% is not typically noticeable – except in the uptick of sales. While many snacks are looking toward sugar alternatives such as erythritol, Stevia, and sucralose to lower the total amount of calories, simply adding less sugar is a feasible alternative. 

More foods, better health

As with cookies, probiotics are often added to other sweets to promote digestive health, vitamins including beta-carotene, C, and E are added as antioxidants, caffeine and adaptogens stimulate the body, and collagen improves the skin and joints. Adding these products generally does not alter the flavor or appearance of snacks, just the bottom line as consumers snatch them off the shelf.

Seasonal and limited-time offers

Seasonal offers – pasta shaped like snowflakes or pumpkin spice anything – appeal to shoppers because they will only be around for a short while before retiring for another year. Limited-time offers might showcase a celebrity or event such as the Olympics or the Super Bowl and become the must-have snack for watching these events. Creating short-term snacks boosts sales with their unique shapes or flavors.

Skipping the allergies

Consumers have long recognized their allergies, and industries are paying closer attention. Snacks with egg, milk, wheat, soy, and nut alternatives have hit the shelves, and consumers are excited. Dietary restrictions may be due to health concerns, allergic reactions, or religious beliefs – Bell Chem offers a large variety of Kosher products for our customers. Regardless, these differing varieties have caused a major stir, especially with gluten-free varieties of snacks, which have led the pack in releases in new product launches at a 23% share.

Uses of Soybean Oil Across Industries

What comes to mind when you think of soybeans? An alternative to petroleum? Freshly baked cookies? Skincare products? It seems incredible that one product can fit all these categories, but soybean oil is indeed remarkably good at fulfilling all these roles. Food ingredient supplier Bell Chem shares the following information on a few of the myriad ways soybean oil can be used across industries.

Food industry

The high smoke point of soybean oil gives it an edge when it comes to intense heat. In deep frying, soybean oil reigns at the top of its class. More than half of the world’s vegetable oil consumption is in the form of soybean oil.

Cosmetics

Soybean oil is a stellar ingredient in moisturizing products because it penetrates deep into the skin without feeling greasy. This plumps the cells underlying the epidermis, causing the skin to look radiant and healthy. This same reaction occurs when soybean oil is added to haircare products: the hair looks shiny and healthy. Massage oils often call on soybean oil’s quick absorption rate as it glides smoothly along the skin’s surface.

Soybean oil’s inclusion in topical cosmetics deters the loss of moisture in the atmosphere. Naturally loaded with vitamin E, soybean oil has an antioxidant effect and defrays damage caused by UV radiation. Therefore, manufacturers often add this ingredient to anti-aging creams as well as sunscreens. 

Biofuel

From paints and varnishes to biodiesel, soybean oil’s tie to the chemical industry is undisputed. You can find soybean oil in the resins used in the manufacture of automobiles and aerospace products, as an emulsifier in paints, and as an excellent alternative to renewable diesel. 90% to 96% of biodiesel is based on soybean oil. Soybean oil in the tank of vehicles reduces greenhouse gas emissions and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. 

Medical facilities

When a patient is unable to consume food orally, parenteral nutrition is essential. Soybean oil becomes a winning source of fatty acids and calorie consumption.

Pharmaceutical industry

Capsules contain soybean oil as a filler to administer exact doses of active ingredients into the human body.

Animal husbandry

Adding soybean oil to animal feed increases energy, and animals seem to enjoy the flavor of soybean oil. When soybean oil is added to feed, animals tend to gain weight more rapidly when compared with animals given feed without soybean oil as an ingredient.

Keeping Up with Demand for Better Pet Food

Think back ten years as consumers scanned the pet food aisles of your local grocery store. Chances are the choices were canned dog or cat food or hundreds of bags of kibble. The ingredients were even more distressing – were these ingredients nutritious for your favorite pooch? Fortunately we have turned the corner on pet nutrition and your food ingredient supplier, Bell Chem, has all the best choices for your pet food business. Read below to learn the basics as well as the latest trends on keeping man’s best friend healthier longer.

Helping the environment as you help pets

Proteins need not be based solely on poultry or cattle. Many manufacturers are turning to insect proteins to supplement their pets’ health or more environmentally-friendly plant proteins, such as chickpeas. Another innovation is adding many of the nutrient-rich botanicals consumers enjoy in their own packaged foods, including ginseng and magnesium.

Another concern is how environmentally unfriendly pet food bags are. With the addition of polypropylene, pet food bags are more biodegradable and even recyclable! 

Superpets

The superfoods in which consumers have been partaking are now proudly splashed across many packages in the pet food aisle. Look for many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, sweet potatoes, and red bell peppers, as well as omega-3 rich chia and flaxseed. 

With the majority of pet products listing wheat, corn, or soy as a main ingredient, many pet owners find relief in grain-free pet foods, such as those with flaxseed, chia, or oats.

Personalized nutrition

Online retailers have a direct to consumer advantage with digital questionnaires querying their customers about their pet’s age, weight, nutritional requirements, and more. With this information, manufacturers are able to personalize a diet for each individual pet, giving information on the amount of wet versus dry food as a specific food is created based on each pet’s needs. In-store brands have countered with weight- and age-specific products along with products touting joint health or active lifestyles. 

Individualized formulas are likely to include any of the following, depending on the needs of the pet. 

• Turmeric, glucosamine HCl, and chondroitin sulfate for joint health

• Calcium and betaine HCl for strong bones

• Co Q-10 for heart and muscle health 

• Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) as well as the B-complex vitamins and vitamin C

• Yeast, ginger and honey for digestive health

Many pet foods also advertise “grain free”, which generally uses rolled oats or oat flour, tapioca, cassava, legumes, or the like as a nourishing base to bulk up the more nutritious ingredients.
