INGREDIENT NEWS

NATURAL BASE Caravan Ingredients introduces Invisible Goodness Natural Base for making single-serve, yeast-raised bakery products.

Such snacks provide an “excellent source” of calcium and a “good source” of vitamin D and fiber. They can display a basic Whole Grain Stamp, depending on end-product formulation. The base is also offered as a concentrate to accommodate different manufacturing setups. The end product has a 21-day post-bake shelf life at ambient temperature.

REHEATED FOOD IMPROVER A new dough conditioner and softener, Micro BBC from Cain Food Industries, improves the quality of baked foods reheated or cooked in the microwave or held in a warming drawer. It aids softness, flexibility and moisture retention. When used in baked foods such as buns and pizza prepared in a microwave oven, it eliminates the toughening effect that can happen. Because Micro BBC contains ingredients that assist the interaction of formula fat and water, it helps crumb texture and resilience, slows the staling process and extends shelf life.

STEVIA-SWEETENED CHOCOLATE Dark chocolate sweetened with stevia extract is now available from Barry Callebaut on an industrial scale, suitable for commercial food manufacturing, including bakery applications. Formulators replaced sugar with an all-natural solution composed of dietary fiber, erythritol and stevia extract, thus adding no calories to the chocolate. The no-sugar-added chocolate contains no artificial sweeteners and can be used for moulding, enrobing and inclusions or customized to specific applications. (866) 443-0460

OBESITY STUDY A new study’s results show that consumption of BENEO’s Orafti Synergy1 leads to lower energy intake in overweight and obese adults. Done in Ireland, the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover intervention study included 36 men and women volunteers, each receiving 6 g of Synergy1 oligofructose-enriched inulin twice daily at breakfast and lunch dissolved in a beverage. The inulin significantly lowered energy intake in all subjects but especially in women. (973) 867-2140 www.beneo.com

SALT SUBSTITUTE Replacing salt on a 1:1 basis, sub4salt from Jungbunzlauer reduces the sodium content of formulations by 35%. Its salty taste profile is identical to that of salt without the metallic, bitter off-notes commonly associated with salt substitutes. Functionally, sub4salt performs the same as salt in many food applications. In addition to the standard salt-like grade, a new fine-grade particle size is available for topical applications.
