Lotus Foods and Guayapi werenamed winners of this year’s Biodi-versity Awards at FiE.
Now in their second year, theUnion for Ethical BioTrade’s (UEBT)Biodiversity Awards were establishedto recognise companies who are pro-moting conservation and sustainabil-ity in their supply chains.
It’s an area that UEBT executivedirector Rik Kutsch Lojenga believesis only going to become more impor-tant to the food industry, particularlyin the light of the new 2020 biodiver-sity targets that have been set by theUnited Nations (UN).
“I think there is growing realisa-tion among food companies that theydon’t have unlimited future access toresources and that they need to act on
sustainability,” said Rik KutschLojenga. “The awards help to raiseawareness of the innovat iveapproaches and ethical sourcingpractices that exist.”
Lotus Foods and Guayapi fendedoff competit ion from 40 otherentrants, including big names likeKraft Foods and South African retailerWoolworths, to win the awards.
Leadership category winner LotusFoods is working to bring to markettraditional rice varieties to ensure theirpreservation. By creating a market forthese varieties, the company providesan incentive for small-scale producersto continue to cultivate them, in theface of pressure to adopt the few vari-eties that dominate the market. Thecompany works with producers that
use techniques that conserve water.“Rice is one of the thirstiest crops
on the planet – 600 gallons of waterare needed to produce just one bag ofrice,” said Ken Lee, Lotus Foods pres-ident. We believe the future of riceproduction lies in changing the way itis grown. Our vision is to scale up themodel we’ve created so more farmersadopt this way of growing rice.”
Guayapi, a French company thatmarkets an ethical source of guarana,won the Innovat ion category.Guayapi works with the SateréMawé indigenous people from theCentral Amazon rainforest of Brazil.The Sateré Mawé discovered and stillcultivates guarana. Guayapi pays thegrowers €50 per kg, a significantlyhigher price than the market average,enabling the communities to continueusing methods that help protect andrestore forest biodiversity.
Despite rumours to the contrary,organic business is thriving. This isthe f i r s t -hand exper ience ofexhibitors at the Organic Pavilion.
Culinar, a co-operative venturebetween the Latvian Aloja andFinnamyl of Finland, specialises inproducing and marketing organicpotato starch, using farmers and fac-tories based in both countries.
“When we decided to exhibit atFiE, we had free stock,” said ErkkiPöytäniemi from the Culinar standyesterday. “But now we don’t. Nowwe are selling from next year’s stock.”
With network partners all over theworld, Do-It has an extensive rangethat includes soy, grains and rice,sweeteners, oils, starches and more.
“We are busy,” said MarthaJeuken, public relations officer forthe company. “We have exhibited atthe FiE event for 12 years and, of thesix shows in that time, this one is thebest FiE so far.”
A family-owned business since1900, Kröner Stärke is a mill withextensive organic certification.
“We primarily produce organicwheat flours and starches for the
baking industry and for conveniecefood,” said Dr Ing Götz Kröner, headof the company. “We source directly,to maintain the highest possible stan-dards and to ensure sustainability.”
Dr Kröner confirmed that thecompany is having a good show. “Yes,this fair is one of the most important.We exhibit at a number of events but,as suppliers, we find FiE is the exhibi-tion for meeting customers.
“There are two reasons why weare special,” said Bénédicte Meurens,sales and marketing for Sipal Part-ners, specialists in ingredients andderivatives from cereals and driedfruit. “One is our wide range of rawmaterials but the other is our veryclean and natural production process.We don’t refine the products, so we
retain all the characteristics of theraw materials.”
“We are a certified organic sup-plier and a our range goes from basiccommodities to technical ingredients,including fibres and soy powders,”said Barend Reijn of SunOpta. “Anew product we are emphasising atFiE this year is organic agave whichis finding favour as an alternative to
other sweeteners.”“We are a 100% organic company,
supplying many types of grain andproducts such as flakes, flours andpuffed grains,” said Christof Götz,managing director, Ziegler. “The trendwe are seeing is the industry payingmore and more attention to productssuch as ancient grains, quinoa andamaranth.”

UBM is aiming to broaden the scopeof its Health ingredients (Hi) andNatural ingredients (Ni) shows toattract visitors and exhibitors fromnew channels. In future the Hi and
Ni shows will incorporate four newfeatures. Collectively, the new ele-ments, combined with Hi and Ni,will be referred to as Nutrition andWellness Solutions (NuW).
The four new areas that will runalongside Hi and Ni in 2012 will beNutritional Solutions, FormulationSolutions, Packaging and ProcessingInnovation, and Contract Services.
‘Nutritional Solutions’ is aboutresponding to consumer needs anddemands, for example through per-sonalised nutrition.
‘Formulation Solutions’ coverssolutions for reformulation projects,for example via clean-label.
‘Packaging and Processing Innova-tion’ is a platform for promoting pack-aging and processing developments.
Lastly, ‘Contract Services’ is aforum for showcasing outsourcingservices such as encapsulation, mix-ing and blending, and packaging.
“Health ingredients and Natu-ral ingredients will become partof a bigger solution,” said Rein-dert Dekker, marketing directorfor UBM.
“The 2012 edit ion wil l be amulti-dimensional show, covering asuite of solutions for addressingconsumers’ changing health andwellness demands.
“While there are plenty of oppor-tunities for NPD with health ingredi-ents , there is a broader area oflifestyle, personal care and preventa-t ive nutr i t ion that i s v i r tual lyuntapped by our current portfolio.
“By broaden ing the show’sfocus we intend to appeal to newvisitors, from health and nutritionprofessionals to dietary supplementcontract manufacturers, as well asenhancing the show’s appeal forour existing, loyal, visitor base,”concluded Dekker.

“Yes it offers a new sweetener andone which the industry is bound tolook at, but actually the most impor-tant attribute of a sweetener is taste,”said Hans Heezen, advisor to Aji-nomoto Sweeteners Europe and for-mer NutraSweet vice president.
“In terms of great-tasting low-calorie beverages, aspartame has been
hugely successful over the last 25years and continues to have a greattrack record as far as innovation isconcerned.”
He pointed out that some of theworld’s most successful soft drinksare sweetened with 100% aspar-tame, including the USA’s number-two brand, Die t Coca-Cola .
Aspartame blends are used in PepsiMax, Coke Zero, Diet Coca-Cola,Diet Pepsi, Fanta, Robinsons andmany more in the UK.
“We see stevia probably meets aneed for some people, but is it goingto be the next Diet Coke or CokeZero? I don’t think so.”
Stevia suppliers have been makingmuch of the sweetener’s rise to thenumber two spot in the US table-topsweeteners market, and suggestingthat this success is likely to be repli-cated in Europe.
However, Ajinomoto points outthat while stevia might be number twoin value terms, other sweeteners areholding their own in volume terms.
And in any case, argues Heezen, whilethe table-top market is important forconsumers, it only represents a frac-tion of the overall sweeteners market.
“Most people who benefit fromlow-calorie sweeteners are not table-top users – they are daily consumers ofsoft drinks and chewing gum. Theseare the big markets for sweeteners –90% of sweeteners are used in foodand beverage applications,” he said.
Ajinomoto is also critical of thepositioning of stevia as natural.
“Stevia is an additive in the sameway cyclamate, aspartame and sac-charin are additives. In fact, the ADI(acceptable daily intake) for stevia is10mg/kg lower than that of aspar-
tame, which means its not actuallypossible to formulate beverages withstevia as a single sweetener becausethe amount you would have to usewould exceed the ADI.”
In addition, Heezen points out thatin Europe it will be down to nationalgovernments to decide whether steviacan be labelled as ‘natural’.
“In Switzerland, the governmenthas issued clear guidelines aboutwhat can be said when using stevia,and it is forbidden to claim a productcontaining stevia is ‘naturally sweet-ened’ . The UK Food StandardsAgency is also hot on marketingterms so it will be interesting to seehow they react.”
Stevia overdrive?Stevia suppliers are over-egging the significance of
the sweetener’s potential as a food and beverage
ingredient, says aspartame supplier Ajinomoto

From a busy stand yesterday, Mat-tius Van Uffelen, Taura head ofsales, Europe and UK explained thetechnology behind its many prod-uct ranges.
“Our unique extraction processtakes only a minute to remove 90 percent of the water from fruit and veg-etables,” he said. “As a result, it takes7kg of fruit to make 1kg of our con-centrated products.”
While Taura emphasises the posi-tive consumer perception of fruit andvegetables – as well as the lack ofhealth claims issues – there are bene-fits that go beyond simple whole-someness. Specifically, antioxidentscan be concentrated, and thereforeare found at higher levels in Taura’sproducts than in the raw ingredients.
The Taura stand shows – andallows visitors to taste – an array ofproducts that can be made from arelatively simple set of building
b locks . For ins tance , the Jus -Fruit+Veg range is based on a simpleconcept but the resultant combina-tions are applicable to fruit snacks,breakfast cereals, energy bars andmany other applications.
The Inclusions range takes thisconcept even further, combiningna tura l ingred i en t s inc lud ingancient grains, fruit and vegetablesinto new products that present man-ufacturers with interesting textureand visual possibilities.
Its Flavour Innovations rangepresents unusual combinations withwhich to tempt consumers, includ-ing raspberry and green tea, black-currant and Echinacea, and honeyand cinnamon.
Taura has been in business for 15years, with plants in Belgium andNew Zealand. A third is scheduled toopen in the US next year.1E47

The number of exhibitors fromTurkey has doubled compared withtwo years ago, to the extent that intwo years from now, Food ingredi-ents Europe is expected to feature adedicated Turkish pavilion.
“Existing exhibitions in Turkeydon’t give exhibitors access to thesame volume and calibre of visitors
that FiE does which is why Turkishingredient companies are keen to bepresent at this show,” said ReindertDekker, marketing director of FiE.
One Turkish company exhibitingat Fi Europe for the first time is talcsupplier Gülmer. “We already dealwith every company in our market inTurkey, and we are looking for new
markets to serve,” said Derya Kolsal,the firm’s product manager. “This islike market research for us. Even ifwe don’t sell any product as a resultof being at the show, it has been veryworthwhile as now, more companiesknow about what we can do.”
Another Turkish company,Aromsa, has been a repeat exhibitor
since 2005. “It’s a well-known show,with many visitors,” said DeryaArman, the regional sales manager.The quality of the visitors is alsohigh. We have already booked ourstand for Frankfurt,” she said.
The show’s visitors are also keento do more business with Turkishcompanies, according to Dekker, whosays Turkey has earned a reputationfor offering affordable, quality ingre-dients. In addition, food and ingredi-ent companies from other regions are
increasingly interested in formingstrategic relationships with partnersin Turkey, as it provides a gateway tomore difficult to access markets in theMiddle East.
Visitor numbers from Turkey andthe surrounding region are also upthis year – 45% on two years ago.
This is not surprising, given thatTurkey has been slated as a keyemerging economy and is home toone of the fastest growing foodindustries in the world.
Emerging Turkish market
Solae’s CEO is upbeat. “The soy foodbusiness is a fantastic environment atthe moment,” says Torkel Rhenman,CEO of Solae. “The market is beingfueled by three keys trends. Firstly,consumers have become more healthconscious. Secondly, people are moreconscious of their social responsibility.They become flexi-terians – they stillenjoy meat but they want to be morevegetarian. And, thirdly, food compa-nies are worried about food inflationand the squeeze on their margins.”
The two new products Solae islaunching at the show are designed tohelp food manufacturers to take advan-tage of the trend for nutrition bars.
Supro Nugget 138 is a soya pro-tein nugget composed for 40 per centprotein and 30 per cent fibre. “I’mexcited by this product because itdelivers protein and fibre and con-sumers are looking for this in conven-ient forms,” says Kip Underwood,
Soae Europe’s senior sales director. Inaddition to bars, the nugget is ideal forsnacks, bakery products and cereals.
The Supro 430 is a soya proteinisolate developed to replace moreexpensive dairy proteins in bars while
maintaining textural and eating qual-ities. “This product is all about mak-ing a great tasting bar – not the dayyou make the bar, but the day theconsumer enjoys the bar”, saidUnderwood. 3H19
Marshmallows no longer need to bejust pink and white, thanks to abreakthrough development from nat-ural flavourings and colourings com-pany Wild.
The company is now offeringmanufacturers a broad spectrum ofnatural colours – including reds,yellows and oranges – for the pop-ular confect ionery i tem, us ingsources such as saf f lower, andelderberry.
“Our R&D department are veryproud to have overcome the techno-logical challenges of using naturalcolours in marshmallows,” said
Hélène Möller, product manager,ingredients at Wild.
Wild has also announced newflavourings for marshmallows,including raspberry, lemon, cherryand vanilla.
The challenge for product devel-opers was, according to Möller,determining the correct dosage fordifferent shades. This depended onaeration strength with colours suit-able for the application. “In the endwe found form-stable colours andflavours, both from natural sources,”she says. 3F13

DSM is demonstrating how its food, beverageand nutritional ingredients will shape the foodand beverage industry by inviting visitors totake a trip to a supermarket of the future.
The stand features a range of prototypesand events for visitors to enjoy and, on Thurs-day morning, DSM is hosting a presentation bymarketing expert Peter Wennström. The sessionwill focus on developing consumer-relevantfood and beverage products, using Wennström’sFourFactors Brand Analysis System.
“The concept for this year’s show is a super-market of the future, showcasing DSM’s com-mitment to providing innovat ive ,forward-looking solutions for global markets,”said Hans-Christian Ambjerg, president atDSM Food Specialties. “Consumers find ouringredients on supermarket shelves all over theworld and, with a range of applications andnew innovations on display, we look forward todemonstrating how our ingredients can bringreal value to our customers’ brands now and inthe future.”
The company says it is committed to pro-viding natural, sustainable ingredient solutions,as illustrated by the launch of its Maxavor nat-ural flavour ingredients. This range of productscan be declared as yeast extracts, while offeringprocess flavour functionality, says DSM. Thisemphasis on ingredients from nature will also
be reflected in the company’s health and nutri-tion offering, with DSM showcasing ‘life’s-DHA’ – an algae-derived omega-3 product fromMartek Biosciences – now part of DSM, as wellas new natural carotenoids following the recentacquisition of Vitatene.
Visitors can sample freshly baked goods,including cakes made with DSM’s latest inno-vation in baking enzymes, CakeZyme – anew range to improve the quality and shelflife of cakes.
On the first two days of the exhibition,DSM is hosting a ‘happy hour’ buffet, givingvisitors the chance to relax after a busy day atthe show and sample food and drinks createdwith the company’s ingredients. These includea variety of cheeses from across the globe madewith DSM’s cultures and enzymes, and a selec-tion of savoury finger foods. Visitors are alsoinvited to quench their thirst with a drink fromthe ‘healthy cocktail bar’, where DSM repre-sentatives are serving nutrient-rich non-alco-holic beverages such as ‘Upgrade your Vision’and ‘Essentials for Men’.
As healthy vision is a top consumer healthconcern, DSM, with the help of three profes-sional athletes, is also offering visitors theopportunity to have their eyes tested for luteinand zeaxanthin deficiency.3H13/3J12

Encapsulation expert FlavArom International isdemonstrating how micro-encapsulation offlavours within yeast cells offers potential fortargeted release, retention during temperatureprocessing and protection from evaporation ofvolatile components.
The Irish company is using FiE as thelaunchpad for its FlavaTherm range of yeast-encapsulated, heat-stable flavours.
FlavArom’s yeast encapsulation technologyinvolves the micro-encapsulation of active
ingredients within nature’s capsule – yeast cells,offering heat-stability to natural volatile oils. Itsays essential oils, flavours and other shortchain chemicals are particularly suited to thisform of encapsulation.
FlavaTherm natural yeast encapsulated ingre-dients offer flavour delivery solutions in a vari-ety of challenging applications, including bakedbread products, biscuits, mustards, mayonnaises,sauces and dips, coatings and batters. The com-pany offers other encapsulation formats for bev-erage and confectionery applications.

New from Worlée NaturProdukte are gourmetsalts with fine ingredients such as merlot, Japan-ese yuzu and hibiscus wild rose. The companysays that mixes such as liquorice with cinnamonand salt with bourbon vanilla and dill can resultfrom its creative product development.
Salt alone is not enough to provide flavour,says Worlée. Manufacturers and consumers areseeking new taste experiences, so Worlée’sgourmet salts connect ‘precious ingredients andtastes from all over the world’ and are availablein mills, boxes and cartons.
Worlée combinations, such as Japanese yuzusalt with algae and sesame, have a very distinc-tive appearance, as well as taste. Another vari-ation combines orange peel with rose petals,while the Japanese citrus fruit Yuzu is reminis-
cent of mandarin and lemon. A variety of saltcreations are available for visitors to taste.Some of the less likely – but apparently veryflavoursome – offerings include coffee andliquorice, raspberry and hibiscus rose salt.
Worlée says that its raw materials gothrough ‘a very gentle treatment of raw materi-als’ that reduces germs up to by up to ‘four dec-imal powers’.
Pathogenic micro-organisms, such as sal-monella, are definitely eliminated, says the com-pany. This process, is approved by the GermanHealth Ministry and is applicable to organicproducts. Operating only with parameters suchas time, temperature, moisture and pressure, itmaintains both original colour and taste of rawmaterials. 4K92

Increasingly, food companies are seeking toreplicate industrial processes on a small scalefor R&D purposes, says equipment supplierOmve – and this is especially true for ultra-clean and aseptic lines, where safety and relia-bility are of paramount importance.
Since many manufacturers are under pres-sure to increase the shelf-life of their products,standard levels of hygiene on the line are oftenseen as no longer being adequate. The Dutchcompany says it has developed many ultra-clean and aseptic small-scale and pilot lines run-ning different products for leading foodprocessing companies. Having the correct lev-els of hygiene is especially important when run-ning shelf-life tests, Omve points out.
“The need to consider hygienic designs isnow crucial, as users face increasing potentialproblems from loss of product through
spoilage, food safety and loss of market confi-dence,” said Michael Coopman, sales director.
Omve says it has made every effort over theyears to build all the necessary engineering andmanufacturing requirements into its small-scalelines. “As any system is only as good as itsweakest link, Omve offers its process lines asfully-integrated units,” said Coopman.

Being overweight has a dramaticeffect on health. It increases themechanical stress on joints, stressesthe cardiovascular system andreduces general well-being. In addi-tion, it does not fit in with the idealsof beauty held by most cultures andpopulation groups. No surprise, then,that the market for weight manage-ment ingredients is a significant one.
Exhibitor Gelita is targeting itwith its Gelita Vitarcal Collagen Pro-teins and Gelita Gelatine. GelitaGelatine enables air or water to beincorporated into a product - mean-ing that the same product volume canhave significantly fewer calories andfar less fat.
This simple method does not,according to the company, affect
taste. Quite the contrary: texture andmouthfeel can even be improved.With Gelita Gelatine, the companysays that the consumer does not needto compromise on taste – or eat halfas much as he or she used to.
Gelita Vitarcal Collagen Pro-teins are said to be ideal for replac-ing a l a rge pe r c en tage o f aproduct’s fat content since they areab le to b ind la rge amounts o fwater. According to the company,Gelita Gelatine scores points bybe ing ab le to c rea te a fa t - l ikematrix in emulsions which exhibitshear- th inn ing proper t i e s andcreaminess that are similar to fat.
Although it is not possible toreplace all of the fat in a recipe dueto its multiple properties, especiallyits flavour impact, Gelita Gelatine issaid to be able to mimic all of theother sensory properties of a food,including mouthfeel, texture, struc-ture and appearance.3F2

Steam sterilisation of dry productslike spices, herbs, dried vegetablesand nuts is crucial to ensure foodsafety and shelf life. However steam
sterilisation processes are often com-plicated and expensive, making smallunits economically unviable. This iswhy ETIA has launched Easysteril –a complete steam sterilisation processthat uses the established Safesteriltechnology, but in a simpler and moreaffordable way.
Like Safesteril, Easysteril can treatvery delicate products, even in a pow-der form, says ETIA. It is available forcapacities starting from 20kg per hour.
ETIA is a French engineering com-pany that was founded in 1989 byOlivier Lepez and Philippe Sajet. Itsspecialist areas are equipment andprocesses for continuous thermal treat-ment of bulk products such as herbs,powders, cereals, seeds and fibres.
Export represents more than 50%of ETIA’s turnover. Today, ETIA’sproducts are sold throughout Europe,North America and Asia. 4C42

Dutch consultancy TNO says that itsknowledge of equipment and materi-als outside traditional food technolo-gies – as well as its expertise innutrition – is helping to identify newfood processes for the future, frominkjet to electrospinning.
Among the technologies thatTNO is keen to discuss at FiE isinkjet, more normally associated
with printing and coding than withedible ingredients. This is one of thestrategies which, says businessdeve lopment manager at TNOEindhoven Daniel van der Linden,could be offering the food supplychain cost and energy benefits in theyears to come.
Translating healthier, more sus-tainable concepts into viable prod-
ucts can be challenging. “It can bedifficult, for instance, to modifyexisting equipment to process newraw materials like proteins fromalternative sources such as algae,”he said. Elsewhere, manufacturersare under pressure to move toproce s s e s wh i ch can be moreclosely controlled.
As research scientist Kjeld vanBommel points out, TNO has plenty ofexperience in using inkjet technologyfor printing. “But we are among thefirst in the world of food and nutritionto use it as an alternative to conven-tional spray-drying and to encapsulateflavourings, nutrients and drugs.”
In print-drying, currently workedon by TNO, a liquid is ‘printed’ intodroplets of a designated size, andthen dried to a powder. This couldtranslate into energy savings andimproved product homogeneity.
For printing microcapsules, uni-form droplets of a given liquid areshot at high speed through a fluid liq-uid screen to form a thin shell aroundeach droplet. 1G39

A second clinical study has confirmedthe anti-water retention effect ofCacti-Nea, the natural prickly pearfruit extract developed by the Healthdivision of Nexira (previously BioSerae Laboratories).
The open intra-individual studywas conducted on 15 women withwater retention problems. The aim ofthe study was to evaluate Cacti-Nea’seffect at the dose of 2g/day for oneweek. It confirmed that Cacti-Neahelps to significantly increase diuresisby 27% on women with BMI<25,helps to significantly decrease the sen-sation of swollen feet/ankles/ calves andhelps to significantly decrease the sen-sation of ‘heavy legs’.
In addition, in a global satisfac-tion questionnaire the volunteers hadto fill in at the end of the study, 87per cent of women were convinced byCacti-Nea’s efficacy.
This second clinical study confirmsCacti-Nea’s diuretic effect and showsthat it could help to improve the figure.
Cacti-Nea can be incorporated intodietary supplements or functionalfoods and beverages and is also avail-able organic (certified by Ecocert SAS).
Nexira is the new name for Col-loïdes Naturels International and BioSerae Laboratories. In October the twocompanies merged to form one groupwith three divisions: Food, Health andTechnology. 3D33

Aker BioMarine owns the entire sus-tainable value chain that producesSuperba Krill phospholipid-boundomega-3 krill ingredients. Our com-pany wields innovative biotechnol-ogy expertise in R&D, processing,and formulation that facilitatesincorporating the bioactive ingredi-ents found in Antarctic krill intosuperior omega-3 products. Sinceour days as a start-up, we have beenproactive in protecting the delicateAntarctic environment.
Several factors distinguish ourpure Superba Krill omega-3 – whichis rich in EPA and DHA in phospho-lipid form – from popular omega-3triglyceride products. Firstly, ourmarine-sourced omega-3 has differ-ent physical properties that improve
omega-3 uptake by body tissues.These physical properties also makeSuperba Krill a superior additive forfunctional foods.
Secondly and vitally important:the omega-3 fatty acids found inSuperba Krill are more closely analo-gous to the body’s own phospholipid-bound fat ty ac ids , which arefundamental cell-structure and neu-rotransmitter components. In otherwords, omega-3 products incorporat-ing Superba Krill can be consideredmore bioeffective. Greater consumerawareness of the benefits derivedfrom omega-3 in the phospholipidform has the potential to generateproduct market success that far out-paces the already strong omega-3sales trend.
Finally, Aker BioMarine helpsmanufacturers launch new, brandedomega-3 products. Our biopharma-ceutical development team assists informulating proprietary productsthat combine the benefits of ourSuperba Krill phospholipid-bound
omega-3, the powerful antioxidantAstaxanthin found in Superba Krill,and other bioactive ingredients indi-cated for specific health needs. Exam-
ples of such next-generation blendsare products targeting cardiovascular,CNS, musculoskeletal, eye/vision,and skin health, mental disposition,and assisting the effectiveness ofchemotherapy – to name but a fewemerging product categories.
Aker BioMarine is driving clinicaldocumentation of the health benefitsof omega-3 in phospholipid form,which is the predominant type ofomega-3 derived from Antarctickrill. Good examples are a clinicalstudy published in Lipid Journal andother references available on thewebsite devoted to Aker BioMarine’sSuperba Krill products: www.suber-bakrill.com.
Aker BioMarine is currently indiscussions with potential customerswho anticipate a huge market forfunctional foods featuring phospho-lipid-bound omega-3 ingredients.Superba Krill has physical and chem-ical properties that facilitate the pro-duction of attractive new foods. Theimproved bioefficiency of phospho-
lipid-bound omega-3 means thatsmall doses deliver the intendedomega-3 health benefit.
A host of functional foods, rang-ing from juice to bread, are goodcandidates for Superba Krill supple-mentat ion. Our phosphol ip id-bound omega-3 disperses in waterand mixes well with main ingredi-ents. It is heat-tolerant and very sta-b l e ; the power fu l an t iox idantAstaxanthin is a natural componentof Superba Kr i l l . As taxanth inimpar t s a deep r ed co lour toSuperba Krill oil – a characteristicturned into a marketing differentia-tor by certain popular dietary sup-plement brands.
Krill occupies a relatively lowposition in the marine food chain,unlike the main commercial sourcesof marine omega-3 fatty acids, whichrequire treatment to remove toxins.
Aker BioMarine harvests its krill(Euphasia superba) in pr is t ineAntarctic waters – far away fromsources of anthropogenic pollution –and provides complete producttraceabi l i ty through the ent ireSuperba Krill value chain. The com-pany uses its patented Eco-Harvest-ing technology to catch krill andprevent the t rapp ing o f o therspecies, while rapid processing pre-serves the crustacean’s valuableomega-3 constituents. 3E53
New trends in omega-3Point of

Brite ideasGreek-style yoghurts have becomeone of the fastest-growing dairy sub-categories, and functional blend spe-cialist Satro is offering specificsolutions to simplify the productionof these and curd-type products.
According to the company, its
Acilac range of functional blends helpsto meet consumer demands for high-quality Greek-style yoghurts withauthentic texture and taste. The blendsoffer high gel strength and exceptionalwater-binding properties, says Satro,as well as improved viscosity and acreamy mouthfeel and appearance.
Acilac js blends are based on acombination of highly functional milkproteins with hydrocolloids, starchesor gelatine. This is said to make thenefficient texture builders, even atsmall dosage levels. Options exist forvariants suitable for vegetarians andfor Halal and Kosher approval.
For direct quark and other curd-like products, Satro is showing exam-ples of products manufactured usingits Acilac ms range. Significantly, thisallows standard yoghurt lines to be
used to create new product concepts,without the need for additionalinvestment. Use of the blends alsomeans that no separation or wheyresidues are involved.
Options from the direct quarkrange from aerated to non-aeratedtextures and, in terms of flavour, fromsavoury to sweet. Fruit preparationscan be added as a topping or base, ormixed throughout the product.
The company calls the results ofusing Acilac ms blends “impressive”.Even in small dosages, it says, theyeffectively support the structure ofeach product while retaining a neutralflavour. Their water-binding andgelling properties help to preventsyneresis in curd-type products, whileproviding a cost-effective and conven-ient solution, says Satro. 2G88

German supplier of malt flours andextracts Weyermann Speciality Maltsis reporting strong uptake of its ingre-dients among bakery businesses look-ing for ways to make their productsstand out.
Sa id spokesman WolfgangSchmitt: “Since FiE 2009 in Frank-furt, we have built up good relationswith bakeries and wholesalers in theindustry which use our malt floursand malt extracts to give their prod-ucts colour and flavour.”
The Sinamar roasted malt extract,made without any additives and de-bit-tered through proprietary processes,has proved especially popular in thesearch for distinctive shades and tastes.
Sinamar is produced from Carafaroasted barley malt, and is very darkin colour. According to Weyermann,it does not cause turbidity, is highlypH-stable, and dissolves easily. Apartfrom breads and other baked goods,it lends itself to cereals, hard candyand gummies, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, teas and phar-maceutical products.
One key consideration is the factthat, like all malt extracts, the prod-uct does not require an E-number inthe ingredients listing to meet EUlabelling regulations, making it idealfor those applications where clean-
label is a priority.The Bamberg-based family business
this year invested €3.5m in enlarging itswheat and barley storage capacity from15,000 to 45,000 tonnes, in the heartof what it calls the largest grain-pro-ducing area in Germany.
The company explains that it onlyuses German-grown, non-GM varietiesof barley, wheat and rye, and is a certi-fied organic producer. Weyermannoriginally developed alongside themany brewing companies in Bamberg,but has increasingly found end uses forits products in the food industry. 3F89

The Frenchcompany’s range includes pollen androyal jelly, maple syrup and maplesugar from Canada, and agave syrupfrom Mexico, in both organic andconventional forms.
Agave has been used for thou-sands of years as an ingredient infood – the Aztecs used the liquid fromits core to flavour foods and drinks.Now, due to increasing awareness ofagave nectar’s many beneficial prop-erties, it is becoming the preferredsweetener of health conscious con-sumers and natural food fanatics.
Agave syrup is most often pro-duced from the Blue Agaves thatthrive in the volcanic soils of South-ern Mexico. When the agave hasgrown to 7-10 years old, the leaves ofthe plant are cut off, revealing thecore of the plant (called the ‘pina’).When harvested, the pina resembles agiant pineapple.
To make the agave nectar, sap isextracted from the pina, filtered, andheated at a low temperature, whichbreaks down the carbohydrates intosugars. Lighter and darker varietiesof agave nectar are made from thesame plants.
Royal jelly is a substance is derivedfrom bees, although it is different inboth composition and use to honey. Itis secreted by glands in the workerbees’ heads, in order to feed larvaewithin the colony. Royal jelly’s power-ful properties have fascinated peoplefor thousands of years, going back tothe time of the ancient Egyptians whoused it to keep their skin glowing.
There are many uses for royaljelly due to its high vitamin, mineraland enzyme content. In particular, itcontains high levels of vitamins B6and B5 and protein.2D81-4

Chaucer Foods says it has extended the bound-aries of freeze drying technology in developing itsCo-FD range of fruit, vegetable and yoghurt-basedinclusions, which are being previewed here at FiE.
Co-FD is an extension to freeze drying tech-nology that combines and stabilises a range ofnatural ingredients. Freeze dried combinations of
fruits and cereals can be produced that maintainthe intense colour and authentic flavour of theoriginal fruit but at the same time provide a light-eating crispy texture, claims Chaucer Foods.
Freeze drying is universally recognised asthe process for producing the highest qualitydehydrated ingredients – particularly fruits and
vegetables. While fresh is considered best, freezedried represents the next best thing.
Freeze dried ingredients are well known formaintaining their vibrant colours, authenticshape, fresh taste and all round goodness, with-out the use of additives or carriers. Where largepieces of fruits or vegetables need quick rehy-dration (for example, in a breakfast cereal or aninstant soup), freeze dried ingredients are theoptimum choice.
Co-FD products maintain the long shelf lifeand low water activity of their pure freeze driedcounterparts but at the same t ime offer
improved handling characteristics as they areless hygroscopic, says Chaucer Foods.
“Freeze drying technology is a great processfor producing authentic, high quality naturalingredients,” noted Richard Brewer, group mar-keting manager of Chaucer Foods. “Our goalhas been to extend the boundaries of the tech-nology to produce innovative new inclusions toenhance our customers’ products.”
Co-FD products have a number of uses,from adding colour, flavour and overall interestto cereal bars, to enhancing the visual appeal ofbreakfast cereals such as muesli, adding acrunchy texture to chocolate and making fruitytoppings for yoghurt and ice cream.
Piece sizes can be tailored to individualapplications. 4F7

Managed by Oost NV, the East NetherlandsDevelopment Agency, the Food Valley hasattracted the likes of HJ Heinz, Unilever,Danone, FrieslandCampina and DSM. Also inthis region are Wageningen University, NizoFood Research and TNO Food and Nutrition.In addition, 13 companies including Nestle,Kellogg, Chr. Hansen and DSM as well as fiveindependent research centres have formed theTop Institute Food & Nutrition as a public-pri-vate partnership.
Holland Food Valley itself helps to fosterinnovation and new businesses, entrepreneur-ship and spin-offs, says the agency. It offersfacilities such as incubators and science parks,
propagates networks and facilitates the estab-lishment of companies and institutes.
As examples of successful agro-food R&Dco-operation on its own doorstep, the Agencycites FrieslandCampina’s strategy of externalcollaboration, recent work into the role of fatsin preventing Alzheimer’s and other neurode-generative diseases, and research on the healthbenefits of incorporating vegetable fibre intomeat and fish-based products.
A collaboration between Maastricht Uni-versity and biotech company Newtricious hasmade great progress in combating some causesof blindness in the elderly, Oost project advi-sor Jurgen Sonneborn reports. Less specificareas of interest include research at Wagenin-gen into the links between healthy ageing andnutrition and joint projects to reduce salt inproduct formulations.3J38

Q. What are the main challenges youface as a food business?A. There are two important areas we needto constantly address to keep our globalusers happy. First, their expectations aregetting higher and we have to respond withnew innovations in our diversified productlines with utmost consideration on foodsafety. Second, we are now facing a globalproblem with increasing cost of materialswe use in production. This commonproblem going to be a serious challenge inthe future
Q. Which developments within yourbusiness are you most excited about?A. Angel’s yeast extract business is currentlygrowing at a relatively rapid pace and this isprimarily due to outstanding advances ourresearch department has recently made infood safety and in the development ofnatural yeast extracts rich in flavourenhancers. Yeast extracts rich in umamicharacter developed by Angel throughproprietary technology are very popularamong the consuming public because theyare natural, safe health-wise, consumerfriendly and nutritionally rich. It is the third
largest popular flavour enhancing ingredientcapable of replacing commercial MSG .Secondly, there is a global trend with in thefood consuming public to reduce salt intheir daily diets and the yeast extract-producing industry is responding well to thisurgent need. Yeast extracts can improve theflavour of food formulations under low saltconditions to make the food morepalatable. Food formulators prefer flavourenhancing yeast extracts over commercialflavour enhancers like MSG because oftheir clean label. Additional to their flavourenhancing effects, it has an excellentsavoury background that can coverunpleasant flavours, complements otherfood flavours to give a more rounded andcomplete flavour. It’s high temperatureresistance and ability to produce reactionflavours under appropriate conditions aresignificant advantages yeast extracts offerfor the food industry.
Q. Why should delegates visit yourstand at FiE?A. Angel yeast is a professional andinternationally known company focused onyeast and its derivative products. Yeast isthe most widely used microbe byhumankind. It is a magical friend to bringgood health to human beings. Areas ofapplication involve bakery foods, savouryproducts, condiments, and in applicationsas in brewery fermentations, and to provideclean biological energy, to mention a few.We feel that these special features we offerare quite worthwhile for those delegateswho decide to visit our stand.4G52

It is widely accepted that consumers do notinclude enough fibre in their diet. CFF is usingFiE as the launch pad for a new fibre ingredientthat can help manufacturers to formulate prod-ucts with a higher fibre content and make anapproved health claim.
Sanacel betaG, a fibre based on barley, isrich in beta-glucan, a polysaccharide with addi-tional health benefits, says the supplier. Theconsumption of beta-glucan on a regular basismay reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, obsti-pation, arteriosclerosis and heart diseases.
A 30g dose of an extruded product with50% of Sanacel betaG contains enough beta-glucan to make EFSA approved claims relatingto the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levelsand the reduction of blood sugar levels.
To make the claim ‘regular consumption ofß-glucans contributes to maintenance of healthyblood cholesterol concentrations’ food contain-ing beta-glucan should provide at least 3g ofbeta-glucan per day in one to four servings.
Besides meeting that criteria, the ingredientprovides at least 4g beta-glucan per 30g carbo-hydrates available, which means it enables theclaim that ‘consumption of ß-glucans con-tributes to the reduction of the glucose rise aftera meal’. Due to its beige colour, plus agreeableodour and taste, Sanacel betaG is said to beespecially suitable for bakery goods, cereals andextruded products.
CFF was involved in a series of trials inorder to assess the technological and sensory
qualities of the barley fibre in extrudates. Astandard recipe of wheat flour, sugar and salt aswell as test recipes with 5%, 10%, 20% and50% Sanacel betaG were extruded. The trialsshowed that Sanacel betaG had no negativeinfluence on either the porosity or the degree ofexpansion of the extrudates.
CFF says the products definitely match upto other corn or wheat extrudates with regardsto the sensory attributes. The higher the pro-portion of Sanacel betaG within the extrudate,the darker the colour and the more aromaticthe taste.2H87
Swiss oils and fats specialist Nutriswiss isintroducing two new products for the choco-late and confectionery sector, both processedwithout hydrogenation, and both compatible
with cocoa butter. Confina can be used as a cocoa butter sub-
stitute, and offers fast crystallisation. It is basedon lauric fats, specifically palm kernel andcoconut oils.
NutriCon, on the other hand, is based onnon-lauric fats. There are no incompatibilityproblems with cocoa butter, and dedicated linesare not required. As a cocoa butter replacer, itoffers optimal cost efficiency, says NutriSwiss,and can be supplied in different formats – liq-uid or as flakes.
The company prides itself on its flexibility,and can produce batches of between 500kg and2,500kg. It is also particularly proud of itsrecord in its home market as a supplier of spe-cial and organic oils, and both these productsare available in organic versions.
“We focus on purchasing high-quality fatand oil,” says Nutriswiss. “In the case of trop-ical fats, social aspects and sustainable growingmethods also play an essential role in selectingthe right raw material.”
Standard products are produced from palmoil and palm oil fractions (including sustain-able/certified options), palm kernel, canola, soya,sunflower, peanut, coconut, maize, cocoa butterand shea butter. Of these, palm products, canolaand sunflower are available in organic versions. 2E97

Exhibiting for the first time at FiE, and appear-ing as part of the Canadian Pavilion, CanadianLentils is underlining the unique attributes ofthis ingredient and demonstrating how it can beintegrated into a wide range of recipes.
Canadian lentils – which, research suggests,have unique nutritional features – are a wholefood high in micronutrients such as iron, zinc,selenium and folate. They are also consideredto be an excellent choice of dietary fibre andprotein, are low in fat and cholesterol-free.
One key advantage when building lentilsinto a product formulation is their relativelyneutral flavour. In other words, lentil ingredi-ents will absorb the taste of the other ingredi-ents and flavourings they are blended with.Lentils can be built into applications fromsnack foods to baked goods and from pastas tosauces, says the organisation.
Canada exports 67% of the world’s lentilsupply each year. Canadian varieties include red,green, beluga (black) and French green lentils.These different varieties are then graded by size,from extra-small to large, and are available inthree distinct forms: whole (where they stay inthe same form as when harvested), split (wherethey have been dehulled before splitting in two,making them easier to cook) and as flour (redand green lentils are available in this form).
Samples are available, and experts are onhand to discuss options for the product includ-ing different lentil types and formats in varioustypes of product formulation. 1C43-6

As exhibi tor KMC expla ins ,ColdSwell starches provide a highlevel of viscosity at the cold stage,while the heat stability of the product
ensures the same texture and viscos-ity even after repeated heating.
This, it is said, is the result of theproduction method KMC uses for
ColdSwell. Traditional pregela-tinised starches are made on a drumdrier, which pregelat in ises thestarch, but also results in fragmentsof starch particles.
ColdSwell is made using whatKMC describes as its unique spraycooking technique that allows precisecontrol of the cooking of the differenttypes of modif icat ion, so eachColdSwell starch is cooked optimally.This results, says the company, inintact starch granules that are able tobind as much water as a cook-up ver-sion. This characteristic of intactstarch granules is said to be the rea-son that ColdSwell is heat stable.
ColdSwell products are designedfor products that require a widerange of different temperatures suchas, for instance, fruit fillings in pie,tarts and pastries. The fruit filling
can be made cold, f i l l ed in thedough and baked.
This way, says KMC, the fruitwill retain a much more intense fruityflavour than if the starch requires thefruit to be heated before filling andbaking. Besides being heat stable,ColdSwell starches are also claimedto be resistant to mechanical treat-ment such as mixing or pumping.
KMC’s ColdSwell series of coldwater swelling starches are potato-based and therefore offer all the well-known properties of potato starch,such as neutral taste and high sheen.ColdSwell starches are as standardsupplied in powder form but anagglomerated version is also avail-able, which makes it possible to addColdSwell directly to a liquid withoutany lumping.4F23

Iprona – which styles itself ‘the fruitcompany’ – is in Paris to promote itsnewly enlarged range of products.Most notable among these are its AllIn One fruit beverage bases for bothalcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
The company sources naturalingredients for natural beverage con-cepts and the development of cloudyjuice compounds which might also
contain puree and pulp. According toIprona, All In One offers advantageswhen compared to the standardisedproduction of beverages in that itoffers security through guaranteedquality control; its sourcing, storingand production is efficient; and itoffers flexibility in production.Iprona says that it can select, sourceand mix the ingredients for its cus-
tomers: all that remains is for the cus-tomer to add the finishing touches.
Also featured on the Iprona standare the company’s freeze concen-trates. Iprona says that its freeze con-centrat ion i s an innovat iveproduction method, unique in theworld of fruit juice concentrates, aproduction method that ensures thetotal retention of all original flavour
and aroma. The company is suffi-ciently confident in its selective waterremoval process that it claims thatreconstituted juice from freeze con-centrate can compete with ‘not fromconcentrate’ juice on a sensory basis.
The Iprona production processuses no heat. Because of the waterremoval, less liquid needs to be trans-ported and stored – thus reducingcosts. Iprona’s freeze concentrates areavailable from grape, apple, blueberry,blackberry, raspberry, lingonberry,strawberry and others. 1C67
According to the Lucid Guar GumPricing Index, guar gum prices haverisen to nearly three times their level12 months ago.
This has been mainly driven by ahuge surge in demand from the oiland gas sector to make a fluid for thefracturing of oil and gas, especiallynewly exploited shale. Since guargum producers are realising bettermargins in supplying to oil and gascompanies, food grade guar gumcapacity is being diverted.
Lucid Colloids points out that it isthe only producer of food grade guargum in India that has a dedicatedbuilding and production lines for foodgrade guar gums to fully comply withfood GMPs and ISO 22000 norms.
Lucid says that it has enhanced itsfood grade capacity during 2011 andis planning to further double its foodgrade capacity to go into operation inthe next 24 months. The companyclaims that it has long and strongrelationships with several food cus-tomers who have appreciated Lucid’scommitment to keep them suppliedwith reliable and consistent productthrough the guar shortage. 1A61

Alland & Robert reports a steadyflow of demand for high quality aca-cia gum and is building a third spraydrying tower to keep pace with thisgrowth. In addition, the company haslaunched organic grades of acaciagum, reinforcing its commitment tosustainable sourcing and harvestingof the natural gum.
“Acacia gum comes from natureand we definitely want to protect it,”said the company’s Xavier Maison.
Acacia gum, also known as gumArabic, chaar gund, char goond, ormeska, is widely used by food andbeverage formulators, particularly inconfectionery applications, where it isused to prevent or delay sugar crys-tallisation and to emulsify fat.
A polysaccharide composed ofgalactcose, arabinose, rhamnose andglucuronic acid with a very smallproportion of proteinaceous material,acacia gum is made of hardened saptaken from the Acacia Senegal LWilldenow and other species of aca-cia of African origin.
The use of th is natural gumstretches right back to the 17th cen-tury BC, when the Egyptians repre-sented it with a hieroglyph translatedas ‘Kani ’ which gave the word‘Koum’ and then ‘Gum’. It waslabelled ‘Gum Arabic’ in the dayswhen Arabia exported it, and wasintroduced to Europe in the MiddleAges by Italian merchants.
The harvesting zone – known as
the gum belt – is situated south ofSahel from Sudan to Senegal. Themain countries of production areSudan (Korfodan and Tahla gum),Chad (Kitir and Talha gum), Nigeria,Senegal, Mali and Mauritania.
Alland & Robert’s facilities areISO and BRC (level A on both pro-duction sites) certified and have thecapacity to produce over 11,000 Mtof spray dried acacia gum. 3G63

The choice of food on offer today inindustrialised countries has neverbeen so great. However, at the sametime in these countries there havenever been as many nutrition-relatedillnesses as there are today. Further,the symptoms of nutrition-relateddiseases are very non-specific and weare probably only at the tip of the ice-berg at present.
Health will be a key resource intomorrow’s society and will be apreferred consumer good, if it is notalready a lifestyle product. ‘Fightsymptom med i c ine ’ i s b e ingreplaced by proactive, self-confi-dent health care, healthy nutritionand complementary treatments.Thus from now on our food willhave to fulfil the ‘healthy‘ require-ment as well as other consumerdemands such as taste and naturalproduction methods.
Clear confirmation of these find-ings come from consumers in severalEuropean countries who were ques-tioned as to what they had done inthe past 12 months to improve ormaintain their health: 56 per cent ofGermans turned to vitamins and min-erals – position number one Europe-wide. Estimated annual turnover ofvitamin and mineral supplements inGermany amount to approximatelyone billion euros. Germans swear byvitamins and minerals.
The demand for healthy food andthe turnover of food from the labora-tory will continue to rise in future.According to data from LeatherheadFood in the USA for 2005, theturnover of functional food in Japanand the five most important Euro-pean countries was valued at $16bn ,and it was forecast to rise by 2011 to$24.6bn. Strongest growth i s
expected in Europe at approximately79 per cent. Beside the health trend itis also well recognised that productsthat focus on being ‘natural’ are onthe road to victory in the market.
I f one saunters by the foodshelves, the impression is growingthat we should protect ourselves fromdamaging ingredients in a diverserange of foodstuffs. More and morefinished products are being sold asgluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free,cholesterol-free, and low fat or evenfat-free. Conversely the questionarises for us: are conventional prod-ucts inferior or even harmful? Thisquestion can be answered relativelysimply: the biological value of a foodis less about what is removed from it,than what remains.
“The knowledge of consumergroups about the qualitative andquantitative composition of ourfoods is rising precipitously fromyear-to-year. Ever more, a message iscrystallising for consumers: the morefull valued, more varied and morenatural the food choice is, the morepositive this is for our health.” wroteMr Fuchs, expert in orthomolecularmedicine in the journal PharmaTime. The food of the future will
contain all the vitamins, mineralsand trace elements in complete natu-ral form and meet the requirementsof the human body to confronteveryday life, at the workplace, inleisure and for the family. 4C71

German contract blending companySternMaid says it is benefiting from astrong trend in the food industry forcompanies to see their core businessas product development, marketingand distribution – but not necessarilymanufacture.
Alongside the blending and fillingof powdered food ingredients, theStern-Wywiol Gruppe company has amenu of services on offer, from thepurchase of raw materials to consul-tancy, product optimisation and evendelivery of the finished item.
The Wittenburg plant has thecapacity to process and package40,000 tonnes of ingredients a year,with a production and storage area of10,000 m². Six blending lines cater forbatches anywhere between 25kg and2,500kg. Of those lines, two specialisein smaller orders, while a further threeare fully automated, with a sophisti-
cated process control and visual dis-play system. Automatic loading of theblenders means that dosing is accurateto the gram, says SternMaid.
One of the newer parts of the fac-tory, completed in 2008, is a counter-
current container blending systemdesigned to pharmaceutical stan-dards. This area is reserved for themost sensitive applications such asbaby food and vitamin and mineralpremixes. The segregated environ-ment means it is perfectly safe tocompound allergen-free productsunder the strictest hygiene conditions.
Be ing a pa r t o f the S t e rn -Wywiol Gruppe brings a number ofbenefits. SternMaid can draw onthe technical knowledge of theother specialist companies in theg roup . Grea t impor tance i sattached to the fact that the major-ity of company profits are rein-ve s t ed i n improvemen t s toproduction plant. Current plansinclude new goods inwards and rawmaterials storage areas as well as afurther blending line. 2G27

Bulgarian company Panteley Toshevset itself the challenge of replacing thestabilising elements in cloudy citrussoft-drink emulsions with naturalalternatives, and came up with whatit says is the formula for the first gen-uinely clean-label product of this type.
According to the company, of thethree main groups of ingredients in softdrink emulsions, it is relatively easy tofind natural versions of flavourings andcolourings. That leaves the more chal-lenging question of the stabilising agent– traditionally, artificial components
such as brominated oils, ester gum orsucrose acetate isobutrytate (SAIB).
Instead, the Bulgarian company’sNatural Formula Emulsions comprisenatural essential oils, fractionatedcoconut oil, naturally-derived colourssuch as beta-carotene, and a blend ofplant-der ived natural extractsapproved for food use. The processmeets Halal and Kosher guidelines,since no alcohol is used in the citrusoil processing.
This creates the opportunity for agenuine clean-label point of differ-
ence among carbonated citrus drinks,argues Panteley Toshev. This could beespecially beneficial at a time whenwestern markets for these beveragesare saturated, and manufacturers arestruggling to revitalise their brands.
Furthermore, the company saysthat cost-in-use with its formula islow, while there are also flavour ben-efits in avoiding unnatural additives.In process terms, use of the company’snew type of emulsion is no differentfrom standard products, it says.1F55

French supplier of nutritional lipidsPolaris is bolstering its range of pow-ders for food applications with a newomega-3 variant offering high levelsof DHA, said to be ideal for applica-tions in bakery.
The DHA-rich omega-3 powderhas the advantages of being tastelessand odourless, says the company. Sim-ilarly deoderised and rich in omega-3fatty acids is a “pure and natural”salmon oil, derived from food industryby-products, which joins the Polarisrange of nutritional oils. In fact, thecompany explains that it has a widerange of deoderised omega-3 oils with
varying ratios of EPA and DHA.As well as its standardised prod-
ucts, Polaris is highlighting the bene-fits of its custom-manufacturingfacility, available for the creation ofhigher-value, tailored products.
For its entire range of nutritionallipids, the company says that itspatented Qualitysilver process assuresthe high stability and purity of itsmarine and vegetable oils. This processworks by delaying the onset of oxida-tion in oils rich in polyunsaturatedfatty acids, so safeguarding quality andprolonging product life by protectingthe organoleptic and nutritional char-acteristics of the oils, says Polaris.
The company says that its innova-tive and proactive stance has helped itkeep abreast – if not ahead – of indus-try needs, offering effective solutionsfor any specific development, andhelping to make it a leader in thenutritional lipids market. 3B89

This year Nizo food research celebratesits 50th birthday, giving the company along history in the ongoing develop-ment of protein technology. Fromingredient analysis and fractionation tofunctionality improvement and appli-cation development, Nizo says it hascontributed substantially to progress inthe field, and made its Protein Centre aworld leader in bringing protein func-tionality to new applications.
Riding the wave of upcominganalytical techniques, Nizo workedto investigate milk proteins, concern-ing their composition, grades andfunctionality. In the evolving field of
separation technology, Nizo pio-neered with membrane filtration toproduce whey protein concentratesand isolates, yielding a variety of sep-aration processes for the productionof various whey protein preparations.
Later on, in the 1990s, the focuswas on the further tuning of the milkprotein ingredients using modificationtechnologies. On this foundation ofapplied protein research, Nizo says thatit can develop new applications basedon the desired protein functionality, cit-ing as an example the development ofthe PeptoPro recovery drink by DSM inclose collaboration with Nizo. 2G32

A new yeast based natural flavourfrom Bio Springer allows formula-tion of dairy-free, cheese-flavouredfood products.
Springarom 7012 CH is said todevelop a rich umami, heat-stableflavour in products such as soups,sauces and convenience foods.Because Springarom CH 7012/20-PW contains neither dairy by-prod-ucts, nor products of animal origin, itis suitable for vegans and people whoare lactose intolerant, as well as beingKosher and Halal certified.
Another benefit of the ingredientis its consumer-friendly labelling dec-laration – it is labelled as ‘yeast
extract, natural flavour’, accordingto EU regulation 1334/2008/EC.
Springarom 7012 CH was devel-oped by Bio Springer’s new CulinaryCentre, which opened in France inlate 2010. The purpose of the Culi-nary Centre is to translate the globalexpertise of Bio Springer into thelocal needs of its customers.
A specialist in yeast-derived prod-ucts, Bio Springer supplies savouryyeast products for soups, sauces, sea-sonings, convenience foods, snacks,
meat products and culture media forfermentation industries. BesidesSpringer yeast extracts, its portfolioincludes Springalys autolysed yeasts,Springaline dried inactive yeasts andSpringarom flavours.
Accord ing to B io Spr inge r,demand for yeast extracts grewsharply in 2010 and continues to bes t rong in 2011 , d r i ven by thegrowth of convenience food pro-duction, increasing interest in natu-ral savoury ingredients and thesearch for animal free culture mediain the pharmaceutical industry. Inorder to better serve this growingdemand, Bio Springer has built two
new production units in the US andin China.
The Chinese plant has been oper-ational since April 2010 and theNorth American plant since Novem-ber 2010.

Beijing-based Yigeda Bio-Tech isintroducing show visitors to its newingredients, including the latest addi-tion to its range – ß-cryptoxanthin –with its claimed bone health benefits.
Said marketing director AllenHuang: “Yigeda Bio-Tech is a high-techenterprise that professionally engages inthe research, development and produc-tion of natural plant extracts.”
Of these, ß-cryptoxanthin isextracted from papaya and orangepeel, he explains. As with the com-pany’s other products, claims ofhealth benefits are said to be backedup by scientific research and applica-tions by other manufacturers.
These and other ingredients areeither supplied to the dietary supple-ments industry for use in capsules,tablets or caplets, or used as func-tional additives in foods from icecream and yoghurt to tea or coffee.
Fucoxanthin and Fucoidan, bothshown for the first time at FiE, areextracted from brown seaweed.Fucoxanthin has benefits in weightmanagement, says Yigeda, while theimpact of Fucoidan is said to be in animproved immune system.
Principal markets are in NorthAmerica and Europe, says the com-pany, but also in different parts ofAsia. 4D62
Natural plant extracts
With price volatility and supplyissues with guar gum and locustbean gum prompting some manu-facturers to look at other hydrocol-loids, tara gum could be a versatileand functional alternative, suggestsExandal Corporation.
Exandal Corp says tara gum pro-vides food processors with economicand functional advantages in a rangeof non-fat and low-fat food applica-tions including frozen desserts, cul-tured dairy products, condiments,baked goods and salad dressings.
Tara gum is a galactomannan thatis structurally similar to guar andlocust bean gum. However, the com-pany claims it offers a number ofadvantages over these hydrocolloids.
In comparison to guar gum,which has seen prices c l imbingsteadily since 2010, Exandal Corpsays the market for tara gum is muchmore stable.
In terms of functional properties,tara gum is cold-water swelling, andits viscosity is similar to guar gum inwater solutions. Tara gum fully
hydrates after heating, and whenheated, there is a 20% increase in vis-cosity compared to the cold solution,and that viscosity level is greater thanthat of guar gum in a cold solution.
While guar gum builds viscosity,it tends to give a very gummy tex-ture in some applications. In frozendesserts, tara gum is said to give abetter texture without the gummi-ness. Since tara gum is both hot-and cold-water soluble, it can beused in more applications than guargum and Exandal Corp says i t
Unlike locust bean gum which isonly hot-water soluble, tara gum pro-vides cold-water solubility and vis-cosity at 25°C, and becomes 100%soluble at 45°C, forming a translu-cent solution. In frozen food anddessert applications, tara gum is saidto provide outstanding heat shockprotection, superior to that of locustbean gum. Another advantage ofusing tara gum instead of locust beangum in frozen desserts is that tara
gum requires usage levels of 21-25%less than locust bean gum, making itmore cost-effective.
Exandal is one of the largest pro-ducers of tara gum in the world. Thecompany’s production facility islocated in Lima, Peru, and is the onlytara gum production facility withBRC, HACCP and ISO 9001-2008certifications. Additionally, all prod-ucts made in this factory are kosherand halal certified. As such, Exandalfu l f i l s the qual i ty and pur i tydemands of the FAO/WHO, the USCode of Federal Regulations, EUEEC Directives, and the Food Chem-ical Codex (FCC).2F49-28

Carob powdersfor tea and coffeeSpanish carob specialist GA Torres is readyto demonstrate that the applications of thisingredient go well beyond chocolate and con-fectionery, for the first time showing gradesspecifically developed for tea and coffee producers.
Carob powder is a natural ingredient andthe product of the carob tree and fruit (Cerato-nia Siliqua). It is produced from the pulp, oncethis has been separated from the seeds throughthermal and mechanical processes.
A number of different grades are availablein terms of the fineness and colour of the pow-der, with applications worldwide ranging fromchocolate to cereals, biscuits, beverages, coat-ings, fillings and flavourings.
Now, special tea and coffee cuts of carobpowder have been added to this range.
Carob powder is naturally high in carbohy-drate (as much as 80%), is allergen- and caf-feine-free, with a low fat content. It containsvitamins a, B1, B2, calcium, magnesium andiron. It can help in the creation of emulsions,says Torres, and can be readily blended withother products.

Consumers are looking to move away from ‘yo-yo’ diets, and instead hope to follow a dietregime that enables them to maintain theirweight in the longer term, acccording to newresearch from Mintel.
As consumers remain sceptical about dietingprogrammes and see these as a short-term solu-tion to weight loss, the focus is now on weightmanagement, taking into account consumereating behaviour and how this affects dietaryhabits.
Indeed, recent research by Mintel showsthat low/no/reduced fat, sugar, calorie and cho-
lesterol claims were used in 15% of Europeanfood and drink launches in 2006, but that fig-ure has dropped to 10% in 2011.
Consumers prefer foods that are naturallylow in fat and calories which suggests a sizeableopportunity for natural weight loss foods, pro-moting ingredients and provenance and anyadditional health benefits rather than just focus-ing on calorie or fat content.
While manufacturers have been active indeveloping new product lines, consumers stilltake issue with the taste of many reduced calo-rie food items, and also feel that portion sizes
of low-calorie foods leave them feeling hungry,leading them to overeat. Mintel can also revealthat there has been a 40% increase in the num-ber of high satiety products launched in Europein 2011 compared to the whole of 2010, withcereal bars and breakfast cereals accounting forover a third of all such launches.
Join Mintel’s analysts David Jago, BenPerkins and Chris Brockman in the New Prod-uct zone or visit the Mintel stand to hear moreabout this and other trends, as well as theopportunity to taste new and innovative prod-ucts from around the world. 4C40

China-based botanical extracts specialistChengdu Wagott Pharmaceuticals Co hasexpanded its ViaSweet line of natural steviaextracts to include a new range of tabletoprebaudioside A sweetener formulations. In co-operation with Brenner pharma/food, Wagottnow offers three private-label product alterna-tives to current trade retail brands.
“Wagott’s goal is to provide its customerswith strategic, value-added natural productswith cost-efficient solutions,” explaied GaryBrenner, founder of Brenner pharma/food. “Weare co-operating with well known toll manu-facturers in Europe and Israel for three distinct
options with ViaSweet inside. We are extremelypleased with the finished product results, hav-ing successfully maintained the clean flavourprofile of Wagott’s stevia.”
The new products come in tablet dispensers,blisters and a patented liquid formulation andare delivered directly from the toll manufac-turer to Wagott customers. Brenner anticipateshigh demand for them once stevia goes on salein Europe.
“In anticipation of EU approval of stevia,Wagott had consistently reached out to Euro-pean food and beverage markets, and is alreadya preferred stevia supplier for key marketers of
the naturally derived, zero-calorie sweetener,”noted Brenner. “Our strategy is to positionViaSweet as the artificial sweetener substitute ofchoice for beverage and food industry sweet-ener producers in the US and Europe. The EURegulation will enter into force on 3 December2011 and we anticipate ViaSweet sales willgrow accordingly.”
ViaSweet was declared Self-Affirmed GRAS(generally recognised as safe) by the FDA ear-lier this year.
Controlled growing conditions across12,000 acres (in five separate regions of China)and GMP facilities for production of a range of
natural plant extracts have allowed ChengduWagott to develop its ViaSweet brand fromfarm to table. Following the opening of its sec-ond stevia facility in June 2011, Chengdu hasfurther plans to expand its capacity.
“The Sichuan governmental InnovativeTechnology Companies Support Funds recentlyapproved a second investment plan to expandWagott’s two state-of-the-art botanical extrac-tion plants,” said Mr Hua Jun, president ofChengdu Wagott.
Wagott is a member of the International Ste-via Council, owns US patents for processingand purifying rebaudioside A and in September,2010, received the certifications of EC OrganicProducts for Europe and NOP 100% OrganicProducts for the US, issued by the authority ofECOCERT SA. 3C20

Belgian-based bio-preservatives sup-plier Handary is introducing its Pro-teria range of protective cultures, andunderlining the benefits of its award-winning NisinA antimicrobial agent.
Proteria is the latest example ofHandary’s vegetable-derived and non-allergenic products which, says thesupplier, it is the only company toprovide in such a wide range of con-centrations. The Proteria range is usedin fermented meat and dairy productssuch as sausages and yoghurts.Importantly, says Handary, it allowsfood manufacturers to maintain aclean label and avoid chemical addi-tives while controlling the growth of
spoilage micro-organisms. Proteria Y is a probiotic lactic acid
bacteria selected from the strains ofLactobacillus plantarum, targetting thegrowth of yeasts and moulds in milkproducts. As such, it can act as analternative to the natamycin antibioticand avoid the need for chemical preser-vatives such as potassium sorbate andsodium benzoate, says Handary. Thecompany also notes that several mouldspecies are developing resistance tothese chemical agents.
The company’s NisinA naturalantimicrobial last year won an IFT(Institute of Food Technologists)Innovation Award, recognising it as
the most efficient antimicrobialagent currently available againstyeasts and moulds, says Handary. Itallows manufacturers to use a veg-etable rather than animal-derivedantimicrobial in a wide range offoods from baked goods to bever-ages, meat, dairy, fruits and vegeta-bles, the company adds.
The company was founded inthe Netherlands in 2006, movingits headquarters to Brussels twoyears ago. It styles itself an “inno-vation leader” in bio-preservatives,including antimicrobials, antioxi-dants, protective enzymes and cul-tures. 3C101

A ‘Baltic alliance’ involving Latvian,Swedish and Finnish organisations ishelping to ensure that supplies oforganic potato starch, which in thepast have been relatively uncertainin parts of Europe, are once againmore reliable.
Insufficient supplies have, in therecent past, led to bottlenecks in theproduction of many organic productswhere potato starch is essential – orat least a natural choice – as an ingre-dient, say experts.
Now Latvian company AlojaStarkelsen, a subsidiary of Sweden’sCulinar, has entered into a co-opera-tion agreement with Finnish com-pany Finnamyl to further expand theproduction and commercialisation of
potato starch. Culinar in Sweden andLatvia and its new Finnish partnertogether account for around a thirdof total production of organic potatostarch in Europe, say the companies.
The plan is to increase productionstill further over the coming years inorder to secure a reliable source forthe future. According to OrganicFood Finland, which is marketing thestarch, it is available certified to bothEU organic standards and NOP(National Organic Program) stan-dards for the US.
Applications for potato starchinclude soups and sauces, cannedfood, noodles and other pasta, bakedgoods and processed meat products. 3D82
Dialog, based in the Caucasus regionof the Russian Federation, is a supplierof oak extract used in the ‘ageing’ ofwines and other alcoholic drinks, andis showing at FiE for the first time.
The forests in the mountainousKrasnodar region where Dialog is
located are up to 80% made up ofoak, says the company. The oakextract which it exports is a “100%natural” product, according to Dialog.
“We use the extract in the pro-duction of alcoholic drinks,” saidspokeswoman Tatjana Bogdanova.
“There is a special technology forthis, and the result is perfect.”
The traditional ageing process inoak casks can take a minimum ofthree years, says Dialog. With the useof this extract, drinks can be ‘aged’ inmetal casks and the process speededup. Bogdanova explains that the waythe aroma of the extract is picked upby the alcohol is “unbelievable”.
Alcoholic beverages benefittingfrom the use of oak extract includewines, whisky, brandy and tequila.The composition of the extract issaid to be typically: 40% tannins;30% lignin; 14% hemicelluloses;4% quercetol.
The areas where Dialog sourcesits extract are clean, unpollutedforests, it emphasises, while in thecompany itself, quality standardsare high, thanks to the skilled andexperienced staff. 3E102
Increased demand for alternative,vegetarian sources of protein, partic-ularly for diet and weight manage-ment products, has helped to reviveinterest in sesame seeds, says Dutchspecialist Dipasa Europe.
The international company, whichis headquartered in Mexico, claims tobe among the market leaders in globalsesame seed and sesame-derived prod-uct processing. It produces its Sesam-ina protein concentrate in one of itsMexican factories.
Sesamina contains 60% protein,with an amino-acid profile whichgives it a particularly strong nutri-tional value, says spokesman MarcelKeizer. It also contains fat in therange of 10-12%, around half ofwhich consists of polyunsaturatedfatty acids. “This fat has strong anti-oxidant properties, opposing andslowing down the ageing process andthe creation of free radicals in thebody,” he says.
The nutritional benefits do notstop there. According to Dipasa,Sesamina is a good source of calcium,
iron and vitamin A, and is both cho-lesterol- and GM-free.
Applications for sesame proteinconcentrate inc lude bread andcakes, cereals, pasta and nutritionbars. The increased use of alterna-tive protein sources in weight man-agement products has made this an
attractive segment, too, for sesameprotein concentrate.
Other products from Dipasa,Mexico, include different grades ofagave nectar, avocado oil, quinoa,various grains, sunflower, pumpkinand poppy seeds. 3D58
Hungarian soya processor FitorexGroup is inviting visitors to samplethe latest applications of its Yaso ger-minated soy-based natural raw mate-rial, suitable for meat-substitute andvegetarian meals, pasta, baked goods,snacks, and much more.
The patented product, which isGM-free and has no chemicals usedin its production, adds to the positiveattributes of the unsprouted soybeanwithout having any of the negativecharacteristics, Fitorex argues. If any-thing, the nutritional benefits areboosted thanks to the special sprout-ing process, it adds.
Those benefits include high dietaryfibre content, as well as omega-3 andomega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, andonly low levels of carbohydrate. Itcontains high-quality complete pro-teins, says Fitorex, and is well-suitedas a meat analogue product.
Compared with other soy ingredi-ents, it offers greater bioavailabilityof key nutrients, the company claims,better digestibility and, since it does
not contain stachyose, does not causeflatulence, distension or bloating.
This strong nutritional base,along with a neutral taste, make Yasosuitable for a wide variety of foodindustry applications, says Fitorex, asa meat substitute or extender, in veg-etarian meals, pasta, bread, biscuits,snacks, spreads and functional food.It can form part of a gluten-free, lac-tose-free or cholesterol-free diet.
The company says it is lookingfor customers among the larger Euro-pean food companies to partner it indeveloping and commercialising newapplications of Yaso. 3E97A

Neptune Technologies & Biores-sources, the Quebec-based supplier ofkril l extracts, has been grantedapproval to make five environmentalclaims following an audit by inde-pendent certification body NSF Inter-national. This is important, as thekrill oil production industry has comeunder criticism from environmental-ists who claim that the harvesting ofkrill oil is not environmentally soundsince it depletes the food source ofmany marine animals.
Neptune maintains it has alwaysbeen committed to providing the bestnatural marine-derived products withclinically proven health benefits whileprioritising environmental responsi-bility. It says sustainability of krill,the primary biomass used by Nep-tune, is of paramount importance forthe company and its existing andpotential strategic partners, and thatthe NSF audit underlines its commit-ment to sustainability.
“This NSF certification will makeour partners and consumers awarethat our company not only strives touse 100% traceable biomass, butmore importantly is concerned withthe sustainability of the biomass.Neptune is cautious and conscious ofthe consequences our actions have onthe environment and we act accord-ingly,” said Neptune marketing direc-tor Sabrina DiBlasio.
NSF performed an off-site reviewof documentation in addition to anon-site verification of the manufac-turing process. The audit was con-ducted to ensure c lar i ty andconformance with the criteria of theInternational Organisation for Stan-dardisation (IS0) 14021: Environ-mental labels and declaration and theFederal Trade Commission (16 CFRPART 260): Guides for the Use ofEnvironmental Marketing Claims.
Based on the findings of thisaudit, the NSF granted Neptuneapproval to make five environmentalclaims: Neptune only uses krill cap-tured by fisheries that follow theAntarctic Treaty (1961) rules andrespect the annual capture quota ofthe Commission for the Conservationof Antarctic Marine Living Resources(CCAMLR); Neptune obtains krillfrom fisheries that use only mid-water trawl, which reduces theimpact on other species as by-catch;Neptune krill oils are alternativesources of marine omega-3 whichreduce the pressure on fish popula-t ions; Neptune’s OceanExtractpatented process recycles an annual99% of the extraction solvent usedduring the manufacture of Neptunekrill oils; and Neptune only uses krillthat is 100% traceable to the sourceof capture.
“The efforts that Neptune putinto having their claims verified islaudable,” said Petie Davis, sustain-ability manager at NSF International.“They demonstrated that they hadthe systems, processes, documenta-
tion and data to support all of theirproduct and process claims.”
Neptune Technologies & Biores-sources is focused on the innovationand production of novel marineomega-3 phospholipids ingredientsfor the nutraceutical market. The
company researches, develops andcommercialises krill extracts whichare claimed to have clinically provenhealth benefits for cardiovascular,cognitive, joint and women’s health.The company now offers two krillproducts, and invites visitors visit itsFiE stand to find out more about newhealth claim possibilities for NeptuneKrill Oil (NKO) in Europe. 3D47

NutriGal is handing out a range ofedibles today – including almond but-ter cookies , coated peanuts ,microwave instant bread, morningcereal, pasta, salad croutons, snackbars and sweet puffs – all of whichare made with the company’s rangeof ingredients.
Nut r iGa l , a member o f theGalam Group, develops and manu-factures non-GMO soy-based ingre-dients, which are manufacturedusing what the company describesas a 100% natural, innovative,chemical-free aqueous process thatis also environmentally friendly. Itsleading brand is NutriFree+, a natu-ral soy-based ingredient that isgluten-free and characterised by aneutral taste.
The company carried out a smallstudy with Leatherhead Food Inter-national to assess the effect of itsingredient on appetite. Participantswho ate a NutriGal roll said they feltfuller. NutriGal points out that thestudy does not give grounds forclaiming a satiety effect, but it is inkeeping with general observationsthat proteins and fibres help peoplefeel fuller for longer.
According to the company, the
main advantage of using NutriGalingredients is the possibility to for-mulate gluten-free products likepasta, bread, cookies and so onwith a high nutritional value andfeaturing especially high levels offibre and protein- but without com-
promising the taste. NutriGal saysthat this compares favourably withtraditional gluten free productsfound in the market with low nutri-tional values that are based on riceor maize starch.1E53

Visitors to the Valio stand are invited to samplechocolate made with the company’s Zero Lac-tose whole milk powder – the latest addition toits range of lactose-free ingredients.
A decade since Finland introduced its firstlactose-free dairy product, Valio still sees itselfas a pioneering company in this area, and oneof the few offering lactose-free milk ingredientsto the food industry. Valio’s Zero Lactose tech-nology can also be acquired under licence fromthe company.
The fact that lactose content is 0.1% or less,means that Valio’s skim milk and now wholemilk powders are the most truly ‘lactose-free’
on the market, the company maintains. Buttheir taste remains true-to-nature thanks to thespecial technology used, says Valio, and the factthat the mineral composi t ion remainsunchanged.
With demand for lactose-free productsgrowing in Europe, Valio says that its Zero Lac-tose range of milk powders offers ‘unique solu-tions’ for a variety of food categories, from milkchocolate and ice cream to ready meals, soupsand sauces. From a nutritional point of view,the company emphasises, its Zero Lactosewhole milk powder (WMP) has a higher pro-tein content than standard WMP. 3D21
After 25 years in the business, Dutch food barspecialist VSI is out to prove that highly tar-geted nutrition, whether for weight manage-ment or sports, can be combined with the besttexture and eating characteristics.
As one of Europe’s leading producers of foodbars, the company is celebrating not only its 25thanniversary but also winning the Best TastingProduct Award at the Finished Product Expo inGeneva earlier this year. It says it will be present-ing ‘new and exciting’ concepts at FiE, too.
Said Robert van Wanrooij of the salesdepartment: “VSI has put a lot of R&D effortinto the development of really good-tastingbars. In the past, the fact that diet bars or high-protein sports bars did not have good eatingproperties was of less importance. But betterknowledge, new ingredients and improved pro-cessing have enabled VSI to produce bars with
really good eating characteristics. “Nowadays, bars have become more of a
lifestyle component for people aiming to eathealthily and stay in shape with sports andother activities,” said van Wanrooij. “Thismeans that bars have developed with a numberof different textures, styles and flavour combi-nations.”
In fact, VSI argues that consumers wouldhardly notice the difference between today’slifestyle bars, fitting in with a diet or sports con-cept, and well known brands of candy bars –despite the reduced levels of fat.
Van Wanrooij added: “If you’re looking fora breakthrough sports bar, a delicious diet baror a healthy snack, we can demonstrate how tocombine your requirements with our extensiveknowledge of designing and producing bars.” 4G105

Stable Micro Systems is putting the latest ver-sion of its Exponent texture analysis softwarethrough its paces, demonstrating the improve-ments to the graphical interface and the widerrange of tests now available via its TAXTplustexture analyser.
The software suite now includes higher-leveldata analysis, results spreadsheets and auto-
matically generated charts and reports. There isalso an extensive database of sample videos tar-geting the bakery, dairy, confectionery, meatand fruit & vegetable segments.
Users have the option of running a prede-fined quality control test or of configuringtheir own bespoke test protocols, with a flex-ibility that lends itself equally to new productdevelopment and ongoing quality testingenvironments.
Applications manager Jo Smewing said:“We are pleased to be releasing this new soft-ware, which will enable manufacturers tocarry out objective assessment and repeatabletesting of food ingredient and end productcharacteristics even more quickly and sim-ply.” Existing customers will receive a freesoftware upgrade.
The company is clear that texture is asimportant as taste to the consumer. A systemsuch as the TAXTplus texture analyser allowsobjective evaluation of the impact of newingredients and formulations on overall tex-ture, it adds.
A battery of different probes and attach-ments means that textural properties can bemeasured and analysed across a wide range offoods, from sticky doughs to crispy biscuits.In addition, the analyser can even assess theextensibility of cheese, the consistency ofyoghurt, the firmness of fruit and the tough-ness of meat. 1J38

Sensient Food Colors is launching a new rangeof colours for food and beverages which, itsays, for the first time allows a manufacturer toclaim that the total formulation of a colouringmedium is ‘natural’.
The Cardea range features colouring solu-tions composed of exclusively natural rawmaterials, says Sensient, providing the oppor-tunity for clean-labelling and a natural posi-tioning available nowhere else on the market.
The concept lying behind this project wasthe interaction between different natural com-ponents. “After screening a wide choice ofingredients, we were able to define a number ofinteractive natural molecules, supporting eachother with their characteristic functionality,”said R&D director, Food Colours Germany, DrAndreas Klingenberg. “This knowledge allowedus for instance to formulate emulsions whichare composed of only natural components.”
The range contains only fruit and vegetableextracts and concentrates, says Sensient, such aspaprika, beetroot, apple, carrot and spinach.
Klingenberg added: “Nature is a genius atproviding excellent protection for valuableingredients, and we have adopted this principlein our new Cardea portfolio.”
The colouring principles are formulatedeither as water or oil soluble options, says Sen-
sient, allowing for the maximum breadth ofapplication in food systems.
The launch of Cardea is a logical progres-sion from the successful roll-out of its FusionImagine Nature brand, says the company.

Limiting unhealthy snacking is goodbut healthy eating and satiating withtasty and easy-to prepare solutions isbetter, argues Laboratoire PYC. It haslaunched a new soup in a cup forweight-management, which it claimscontain ‘good vegetables, healthysatiating proteins and a zest of grand-mother’s soup secret’.
The company says the new soupcontains more than 17g of proteinsper cup and more than 3g of fibresfor a high satiating effect but containsonly 138kcal/cup. It is made fromseven 7 different vegetables, withonly natural flavours. The product isdescribed as shelf-stable and freefrom preservatives or artif icial
colours. Laboratoire PYC says it hasbeen designed for brands sellingweight-management solut ionsthrough drugstores, direct sales andspecialised shops.
“This product is the achievementof a one-year development,” said
Aurélie De Schuyteneer, marketingmanager, Laboratoire PYC. “Wewanted a product which tastes natu-ral and reminds consumers of goodtraditional soups made by theirgrandmother.”
This culinary dimension is of
great importance for consumers con-trolling their weight, suggests thecompany. Diet programmes are easierto follow when associated with pleas-ant food, it argues. It is also impor-tant for consumers to go on eatingreal meals, with authentic flavoursand without feeling deprived frompleasant moments in the day. How-ever, in a concession to modern ‘onthe go’ lifestyles, the product is ready-
made and packed in a microwavablecup. It takes only one-and-a-half min-utes to prepare.
Laboratoire PYC adds that forindustrial clients and distributors, theconcept can be easily customised to abrand, with a cardboard packagingaround the cup. This packaging alsothe benefit of reducing heat to thetouch when carrying the cup.4F33

Replacement technology specialist FayrefieldFoodTec has developed a new egg replacer inanticipation of a change in the law that is likelyto raise egg prices.
The EEC Regulations to ban battery farm-ing are less than two months away but studiessuggest that there are still many manufacturersusing eggs who are either unaware of, or haveignored, the implications of this legislation, saysFayrefield FoodTec.
The ‘Clock is Ticking’ initiative from theBLEP (British Lion Egg Producers) recentlyhighlighted some disturbing facts: the legisla-tion was announced in 1999 but in 2011 46%of egg buyers in the UK said they had not heardof any legislation involving egg production.
With likely price increases in mind, the com-pany has launched its Geltec range of egg replac-ers which promises cost savings of up to 40%and quality improvements in some applications.
Fayrefield says Geltec has particular benefitsfor mayonnaise manufacturers, as previousattempts with egg replacers to produce a goodquality mayonnaise have usually foundered dueto the multi-functional benefits that egg per-forms in this application.
Geltec 10505 has been specifically formu-lated to address the textural, flavour, emulsifyingand appearance requirements of mayonnaise.Fayrefield says that customers have found that
Geltec not only replaces eggs in mayonnaise butalso improves overall product acceptability.
Besides mayonnaise, Geltec can be used in avariety of other applications: baked foods suchas cakes, cookies, biscuits, brioche and crois-sants; egg custard, ready meals and pancakes.While bakers may be reluctant to use egg replac-ers after negative experiences in the past, Fayre-field says that in baking end product quality canoften be improved by replacing eggs with Geltec.
Geltec is dairy-derived, clean-label, halal,kosher and suitable for vegetarians. IF63

The Herb Company is a new collaboration ofVNK and ESG. VNK represents the Dutch pro-duction of herbs for food, feed and pharma.ESG is a producer of culinary herbs in Europe.Although the companies will remain independ-ent, by joining forces, the companies say theyare building market share, enabling them to‘effectively respond, both quantitatively andqualitatively, to market demands’.
The Herb Company is focusing on indus-trial customers in the food, feed and pharmasegments. It says it has established, particularlywith expanding industrial customers, that there
is a growing need for reliable partners who canguarantee the delivery of raw materials.According to the company this applies to vol-ume and price, but also other aspects such assustainability, supply chain management, trans-parency, authenticity, reliability and traceabil-i ty. The company groups these aspectsinto:quality, assurance and sustainability.
With a supply of more than 3,000 tonnes ofdried herbs, the Herb Company says it is one ofthe world’s largest producers of high qualitydried herbs, with cultivation and productionfacilities at various locations in Europe. 4C99

In October, representatives of the global dis-tributor Atlantic Chemicals Trading (ACT) andthe spices and solutions supplier RAPS signedan exclusive co-operation agreement. Theobjective of their strategic partnership is to dis-tribute a portfolio of specialities comprisingcoating products, microencapsulated ingredi-ents, special aromas and extracts to the coretarget markets of soft drinks, nutrition/sportnutrition, vitamins, oral hygiene, cosmetics andanimal feed industries throughout Europe.
RAPS special fluid bed technology facilitatesthe production of coatings that envelope andprotect sensitive raw materials, premature rawmaterial dispersion and a resultant chemical or
physical reaction are therefore prevented allow-ing for release in a targeted and controlled man-ner. An additional benefit of RAPS coating andmicroencapsulation technology is the colour sta-bility and preservation of raw material quality.
CPF high-pressure spraying technology alsoprovides a number of possibilities as, forinstance, liquids can be gently microencapsu-lated allowing their further use as high-coveragepowders. The protection and targeted release ofraw materials also provides ‘huge opportunities’for other sectors such as drinks, nutrition/sportsnutrition, vitamins, oral hygiene, cosmetics andanimal feed, say the companies. 1H35

Over the past few decades, shoppingbehaviour has evolved. Increasingnumbers of consumers have becomelabel critics as they grow more inter-ested in health and wellness, prove-nance and sustainability. Turned offby lengthy and artificial-soundingingredient lists, they now seek ‘cleanlabels’ but are not willing to compro-mise on taste, quality or price.
But what does ‘clean label’ mean?National Starch has undertaken sig-ni f icant amounts of consumer,retailer and food company researchon this subject. In the absence of anindustry-wide definition, we want tohelp our customers tap into and ben-efit from the clean-label trend. Pro-viding a proposed definition helpsthem do this. Our proposed defini-tion lists three main criteria and wasused by the Leatherhead researchorganisation in September 2010 at adedicated clean label conference: 1 Free from food additives: remove
or replace food additives2 Simple ingredient listing: choose
recognisable ingredients that donot sound chemical or artificial
3 Minimally processed: use tradi-tional techniques, where possible,that are understood by consumersand not perceived as artificialInitially, clean-label was a niche
category. In the US, it emerged insmall food companies and specialtyretailers, such as Whole Foods andTrader Joe’s, while in the UK, theclean-label trend originated in private-label goods. As these products consis-tently started to win a bigger marketshare, big brands soon recognised thatclean labels have the potential toinfluence long-term success.
Today, countless big brands andlarge retailers are reformulatingrecipes or launching new clean-labelfoods. On-pack c la ims such as
‘100% natural ingredients’, or ‘noMSG, artificial preservatives or arti-ficial flavours’ are increasingly preva-lent . What ’s more , brands areinvesting heavily in promoting clean-label products, with high-profileadvertising campaigns springing upacross popular consumer media.
Clean label is also spreading geo-graphically. From its origins in theUK and North America, where clean
labels are now increasingly prevalent,clean label has gradually spreadacross Europe as a result of consumerdemand. Today, it is rapidly gather-ing pace in central Europe, particu-larly in France, Germany, Italy, Spainand the Netherlands. In France, ear-lier this year our consumer research –conducted by MMR Research World-wide – revealed that ‘natural’ or ‘allnatural’ is the most appealing front-
of-pack claim, and 81% of Frenchconsumers rate the ingredient list as‘very’ or ‘quite important’ or whenbuying a food or drink.
Across all regions globally, thenumber one claim for new food prod-uct launches continues to be ‘no addi-tives or preservatives’. From Januaryto June 2011, 22% of food and bev-erage products launched globally fea-tured ‘no additives or preservatives’,‘natural’ or ‘organic’ claims, accord-ing to the Innova database. Cleanlabel has either become, as in the UKand USA, or will soon become, as inGermany, France and Spain, a keyclaim for new products in a competi-tive marketplace. It must at the veryleast be a consideration for all prod-ucts being developed.
Our research has demonstratedthat globally, what matters most toconsumers are the ingredients intheir foods. While regional differ-ences occur, as a general rule, if con-sumers had the choice , foodadditives and preservatives would beout and natural or unprocessedingredients would be in.2B31

Point ofview
National Starch Food Innovation launched its clean label starches at FiE in 1996.
Aaron K Edwards tracks the rise of clean label and asks, what does ‘clean label’ really mean?
Insight into the clean-label trend
“From January to June
2011, 22% of food and
beverage products
launched globally
featured ‘no additives or
preservatives’, ‘natural’
or ‘organic’ claims.”
A period of intensive product develop-ment has yielded a natural caramelisedsugar that is said to present a morecost-effective alternative to malt andmalt extracts for delivering colour andflavour enhancement in bread.
Buisman Ingredients, the com-pany behind the ingredient, says costsavings of between 15% and 65%can be achieved by using its new NCS23P malt replacer.
Rising raw material costs andconsumer and retailer demands areputting food producers under pres-sure to find cheaper ingredients thatare also natural. So far, there hasbeen no viable alternative to malt – arelatively expensive flavour andcolour enhancer used in bread.
Buisman says NCS 23P changeseverything – this caramelised sugaringredient is said to be similar inflavour and colour to malt and out-perform malt on baking propertiesand consistency.
“Naturally, the benefits of a maltreplacer with significant cost-savingsare only appealing when the flavourand colour functionality is equal tothat of the malt and malt extractsused today,” said Hans Zijlstra, busi-ness development manager at Buis-man Ingredients. “That is why wehave developed a quick and effectivetesting method for colour and flavourmeasurements, the latter with thehelp of sensory tests by a trainedpanel. With the knowledge acquired
we can help every producer in stipu-lating the correct dosage of NCS 23P,eventually in combination with darkmalt flour (DMF) to tweak the inten-sity of the reddish/brown colour,making it a bit darker.”
For more than 140 years BuismanIngredients has been a partner to thefood industry for the application ofcaramelised sugars and caramels pri-marily in bakery, meat, dairy andconfectionery products. E463
Caramelised sugar: malt replacerRoha Europe is presenting a newrange of emulsions for use in bever-ages as well as many other foodapplications, emphasising their clar-ity and shelflife. Crystal’Em is a rangeof ‘revolutionary crystal clear emul-sions’ created by the company’s Euro-pean business.
Unlike some other emulsions, saysthe company, they display no ten-dency to separate, and are stable formore than a year, according to calcu-lations carried out via accelerated age-ing and particle size analysis. They arealso available in a wide range of con-centrations. According to Roha, theyare polysorbate-free, non-GM andallergen-free, marking them out fromother emulsions on the market.
“To understand the importance ofan emulsion, we have to appreciate
the very low dosage that is required”,spokesman Mandar Vaidya said.“Nevertheless, final appearance, tasteand mouthfeel are strongly influ-enced by the emulsion, and appreci-ated by the consumer.”
Apart from beverages, potentialapplications include confectionery,ice lollies, jellies, baked goods andyoghurt. The emulsions are based onbeta-carotene (natural and nature-identical), lutein, paprika and apoc-arotens . Careful se lect ion ofingredients is the key secret to thesuccessful formulation of emulsions,says Roha.
The company is so proud of theclarity of Crystel’Em that it quotes anunnamed customer saying “it is soclear you can read through it”. 1B25
