Food Processing - July 2008 - (Page 45) INGrEDIENTS: MISCELLANEoUS Peptides for muscle recovery PeptoPro is a novel ingredient for the formulation of protein-based sports drinks. It contains 70-80 percent small di- and tri-peptides, which are directly absorbed without digestion. Natural food protein is too big to be absorbed by the human gut ñ it must first be broken down into smaller pieces. But the di- and tri-peptides can be used immediately by the body. In addition, in combination with carbohydrates (sugar) after exercise, they stimulate the production of insulin so muscle cells can use the glucose in the blood faster and better, resulting in faster muscle refueling and energy recovery. DSM Food Specialties USA; Parsippany, N.J. 951-461-1619; www.peptopro.com Healthy leavening Levona is a new leavening agent that is calcium enriched and has zero sodium. This nutrition-enhancing technology delivers a clean flavor profile in foods. The food industry is always looking at ways to produce a healthier product, one aspect of which is reduction in sodium content. Sodium is believed to be a contributor to cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure and stroke. This product enables food manufacturers to formulate products that can carry healthy messages such as “low sodium” and “a good source of calcium” without compromising flavor, volume, texture and convenience.

The resulting product is honey-like in consistency and made of only pure maple syrup. Maple Butter is essentially Clearly Maple that has been whipped into a matrix of microscopic crystals giving it a rich, creamy look and intense maple flavor profile. Both are shelfstable, equally versatile as spreads or baking ingredients. Pure Maple Syrup Concentrate is similarly derived from pure maple syrup.

Evaluation of the flavors in microwave popcorn, cookies, sauces, dips, desserts, beverages, etc., shows the buttery notes of diacetyl can be effectively reproduced by these non-diacetyl flavors. The line also is free of dairy allergens, is non-GMO and is more cost-stable than those subject to the currently escalating dairy commodities market.

Williamson; Louisville, Ky. 800-227-2635; www.caramel.com Expanded palette of teas Maple for processing A patented and proprietary process expands the industrial use of pure maple syrup flavor profiles through three new products. Clearly Maple begins as a pure maple syrup, which is altered using a processing aid that is added – IFF unveiled an expanded tea portfolio during an open house in June. White Peony, Long Jing, Gyokuro, Oolong Tie Guan Yin, Darjeeling, Jasmine Green and Chrysanthemum are some of the exotic varietals included. White tea is the least processed, mostly picked and dried. Green tea is halted from the oxidation process by quick pan frying or steaming. Oolong is wilted bruised and partially oxidized, while traditional black teas are crushed and allowed to fully oxidize. The result of the combination of varietals and processing techniques produces flavors and aromas ranging from delicate fruit and floral zest to strong charred and savory, beefy mushroom tones.
