Thank you
The new kid on the block is BETAINE (BEET-uh-een), aka trimethylglycine. It is derived from sugar beets as a by-product of, you guessed it, the sugar manufacturing process. Being the entrepreneurs that they are, the sugar beet farmers have improvised a new product from their waste.

Here's a product flyer:

The only problem I see in your application for this product is its high temperature limit. Above 100 degC, it starts to disintegrate/decompose.
