abstracts Africa Inspires The fast-moving beverage market will soon have an exciting new concept. African Inspirations are African-inspired liqueurs from Symrise. The company focuses its energies on product concepts that underscore the long-term mega-trends of health, indulgence and convenience. Its African Inspirations series includes liqueurs, flavored vodkas, beer mixers and ciders—all with mystical and exotic fruits and spices. The claim that these products are natural is based on the high-quality extracts and distillates used, which are obtained from native raw materials. One of the highlights of the series is Mystical Africa, a premium cacao liqueur characterized by a delicate blend of cacao from the Ivory Coast and typical African spices such as cardamom. Also featured in Symrise’s new line of products are Superfruit-infused, nearwater drinks and a line of non-alcoholic, organic beverages. Symrise, www.symrise.com Low- or No-egg Baked Goods Replace eggs, improve texture, increase uniformity and add pliability in baked goods, custards and doughs with a new, all-natural egg replacement. Coyote Brand® Baker’s 2 Egg Replacer, from Gum Technology, was specifically designed to replace up to 100% of eggs in baked goods, such as muffins and cakes, while maintaining a desirable texture and appearance. A similar product, Coyote Brand Baker’s Egg Replacer, replaces up to 50% of eggs in baked goods. Coyote Brand Baker’s 2 Egg Replacer is an all-natural blend of sugarcane fiber, xanthan and guar gums. To use a starter formula for low- or no-egg coffee cake muffins (shown here), first, calculate the weight of the egg in the formula and determine how much must be replaced. Use Coyote Brand® Baker’s 2 Egg Replacer at 20% of the weight of the egg removed. Dry blend the Coyote Brand® Baker’s 2 Egg Replacer into the flour mixture. Add water to make up the 80% of the replaced egg weight remaining. Make up the difference in weight with additional water. Use standard muffin or cake mixing methods.

Advanced Food Systems’ Easy-Brown™ accelerates browning and provides a caramelized color and rich flavor in meat- or poultry-based applications. By reducing cook times and temperatures, Easy-Brown also helps improve cook yield and can be done by spraying, tumbling or glazing. It can be added to a variety of vegetables that can be cooked in an oven, kettle or retort to produce a traditional, caramelized color and flavor in much shorter cooking times. In vegetable applications, Easy-Brown systems help to increase freeze/ thaw stability, reduce cook time and shrinkage, and improve texture. In baked goods applications, Easy-Brown produces a consistent, brown color with glossy sheen, prevents moisture migration and can be used to replace liquid egg washes.
