INGREDIENTS

Savvy consumers want smart ingredients Consumers are reading labels and consider label statements when buying packaged foods. This has resulted in the removal of unwanted E-numbers.

LALLEMAND BIO-INGREDIENTS offers yeast extracts (a rich mix of protein peptides), which assist in reducing

salt while providing a special savoury taste and improved organoleptic qualities in a multitude of food products. The amino acid profile and taste of yeast extract are similar to a meat bouillon. The product portfolio includes: • Prime-Lyfe 175A displays a concentrated

combination of peptides and amino acids, including glutamic acid for a clean flavour donation and a more powerful taste enhancement. It is suitable for savoury applications.

• High-Lyfe 605A, a yeast extract rich in glutathione, the main active ingredient in increasing continuity, mouthfeel and thickness in umami solutions. Intensified taste perception allows salt reduction.

Products containing fats, oils or flavours are prone to oxidation resulting in unpleasant odours and possible formation of carcinogenic compounds. Vitiva’s rosemary extract is a natural anti-oxidant containing carnosic - and rosmarinic acid as active ingredients used in food and non-food products to extend shelf life. It works by scavenging free radicals formed when products are exposed to heat, light or foreign substances. They are odourless, heat stable up to 240⁰C, water and oil soluble. This renders it the antioxidant of choice in clean label application.

IN SEARCH OF LESS Palatinose is a slowly, yet fully digestible carbohydrate which supplies the body with energy in a slower, balanced way over a longer period of time than conventional

carbohydrates. This unique carbohydrate is the perfect fit for low- and zero alcohol beers, which often lack body and mouthfeel. Palatinose optimises the sensorial profile and has a positive impact on blood sugar levels.

The story of stevia is constantly changing. Due to PureCircle’s research, development and innovation, a range of stevia-based sweeteners with sugar-like taste and zero calories is now available. These new, from-nature sweeteners are often used in combinations with each other and work well in many formulations to reduce sugar and adjust sweetness. PureCircle recently announced StarLeaf stevia, a variety that contains a >20 times increase in the most sugar-like glycosides.

enhance the texture of baked goods enabling manufacturers to offer thinner, crispier biscuits and crackers to satisfy consumer preference. In wheat-based recipes, pregelatinised waxy rice starch can be used to achieve the required texture and improves final product characteristics, such as increased crunchiness in crackers.

FORMULATING YOUR PROTEIN SUCCESSFortify with the experts.

The demand for beverages containing protein continues to

increase. Consumers seeking to manage their weight, an aging

population seeking to prevent muscle loss, and health enthusiasts

seeking sports related nutrition are all driving manufacturers to

seek better ways to add protein to their products.

Formulators understand they have to do more than just add

protein to a beverage and call it functional. They are faced with

a range of challenges, from keeping up with consumer

preferences to understanding changes in available technologies.

When addressing the need for protein stabilization, suspension

and/or mouthfeel, product developers can rely on highly functional

and nature-based, versatile hydrocolloids from CP Kelco to play a

key role. Working hand-in-hand with our customers, we can apply

our world-class knowledge and ingredients to consistently produce

high-quality protein beverages.

Let CP Kelco’s experts work with you to conceptualize or reformulate your next protein beverage.

across categories. Capso technology from Frey+Lau encompasses a highly innovative process for encapsulating flavours distinguished by authentic flavour

profiles and retention of high-end notes.

These flavour granules are produced in the form of

high-quality pearls and activated when in contact with water. These

granules are suited to flavoured teas and tea blends, coffee capsules and instant beverages. Granules are distinguished by high mechanical stability and excellent flowing properties.

SAY IT WITH COLOURConsumers connect bright colours with better health. Vibrant Harvest’s whole food and vegetable powders are sustainably produced from fresh, high quality fruits and vegetables. It is a sure way to fill products with equivalent servings and nutrients of conventional fruits and vegetables. The patented radiant zone drying method assures excellent retention of nutrients and antioxidants.

SNACKS TO MINI-MEALSSustained energy and controlled blood sugar levels are two important considerations for smart snacking. Beneo's unique carbohydrate Palatinose is the perfect energy fuel choice. It is a natural constituent of honey and the only carbohydrate, which is fully digestible yet slowly released in the blood stream. The glycaemic index of this carbohydrate is only 32 and ideally suited for diabetics, sports enthusiasts and on-the-go consumers.

Dairy- and plant based proteins are an important consideration in snacking applications to achieve cost optimisation and digestibility ratios over a wider range. ADM offers cost-effective solutions with the Arcon range of soy concentrates enabling developers to achieve economical protein content claims. The ADM range of bean powders (Navy Bean, Red Bean etc.) is gaining traction as a cost- effective wholefood ingredient in snacking applications.
