Shelf life
With BioVia YM 10, the fight is over. TM
Finally, food protection Marketing and R &D can agree on. Ever since the “natural” trend took off, manufacturers have been faced with a choice: Tap into the growing demand for natural foods, or get maximum shelf life for their product using chemical preservatives. Now they don’t have to choose. Danisco’s BioVia™ YM 10 is a natural, label-friendly food protection solution that rivals traditional chemical alternatives for yeast and mold control. So you can create natural refrigerated and shelf-stable culinary products that appeal to a broader audience and still get the shelf life that’s so important to your bottom line.

In 1998, those over 60 overtook those younger than 15 in the G7 countries. For the rest of this century, the fastest growing consumer group will be those over 60; the fastest growing segment in the U.S. workforce will be those 65 and older. Seniors shop differently and want different things. “Mature consumers spend proportionally less of their income on clothing and transportation than people under age 60 and more on food, beverages and non-prescription health products,” the study notes. Of those 80 and over, 19% use the Internet, and 29% shop on it (presumably, with help).

Join us at Prepared Foods’ R&D Applications Seminar- Chicago, August 1-2, 2012, at the Crowne Plaza O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois. The 8th annual R&D Applications Seminar-Chicago provides food & beverage formulators with practical, non-commercial, “how-to” solutions to specific formulation challenges and a better understanding of the functionality of a wide range of ingredients.
Seniors are staying healthy longer and are wealthier than in the past. “People are active and healthy well into their 70s and 80s,” says the study, and perhaps 90s and 100s, as well. This Prepared Foods’ Annual Health Issue is dedicated to two people for whom age 100 is closer than age 75. First, there is Dr. Elwood Caldwell, my graduate school adviser, who still attends local IFT and AACC meetings. When I asked him about food science’s contribution to society, he noted that a walk through a grocery store shows its role. “Most products were not available 20 or even 10 years ago. Food science has contributed to human nutrition and the nutritional value of foods,” he says. He points to his own research, published in the 1960s, which showed antioxidant ingredients could extend the shelflife of cereals susceptible to atmospheric oxidation. Our conversation ended, as he and his wife headed out for a walk. Then there is my Aunt Helen. At 96, she takes care of her own health appointments, her own laundry and makes most of her own meals (and drinks a bit…scotch, please). As we recently shopped, I limped after her (the result of a mild fall) and had to ask her to wait up for me. She gravitates towards new foods and beverages; her kitchen cabinet houses recently launched products. So here’s to satisfying the Dr. Caldwells and Aunt Helens of the world with better tasting, good-for-you foods.
The Seminar’s extensive educational program features over 40 individual technical sessions and six, 75-minute Application Labs. Application Labs The Application Labs feature the use of product samples to more effectively demonstrate an ingredient’s functionality or its use in a finished consumer product or model system. All sessions are non-commercial and provide technical solutions to current ingredient applications and formulation challenges. Submit Your Presentation at www.rdseminarchicago.com.

Having a soft drink at a meal would be O.K., if parents would make their kids get away from the computers, TV, video games and get moving outside…being active both physically and mentally.” “It is about the quantity of food. We have trained ourselves in the U.S. to think a serving of meat is equal to two to three decks of cards [in volume] vs. one deck of cards. Or, a serving of cereal is one bowl, which in most cases is 2-3 servings’ worth.” “Often, people want to place the whole of the blame on the food industry. However, if demand for (unhealthy) products didn’t exist, the industry would not create them.” —Respondents to the “2011 Prepared Foods’ R&D Trends Survey: Weight Management Formulations” During a period of time between July 27-August 15, 2011, Prepared Foods magazine, in conjunction with BNP Media’s Market Research Division, conducted its annual “2011 Prepared Foods’ R&D Trends Survey: Weight Management Formulations.” The focus was to provide information on current trends and growth opportunities for manufacturers and marketers of weight-control products.

within populations due to differences in environmental and individual factors, predictable patterns exist. “In low-income countries, obesity mostly affects middle-aged adults (especially women) from wealthy, urban environments; whereas, in high-income countries, it affects both sexes and all ages, but is disproportionately greater in disadvantaged groups.” The researchers theorize that in high-income countries, an energy balance “flipping point” occurs in time, as the nation industrializes and people expend less energy, or calories. First, there is a “stay lean phase.” In the U.S., it occurred between 1910-1960. During this phase, physical activity decreased due to industrialization, but calorie intake also decreased. A second, “eat more, gain weight phase,” is then ushered in. This phase is characterized by increased calorie intake and weight levels. The researchers point to “increasingly avail-
able, cheap, tasty, highly promoted ‘obesogenic’ foods” as a reason why higher food consumption occurs, when compared to the initial phase. Strategies to counter this take many forms. “In order to curb this trend, several things need to happen,” says Loren Ward, Ph.D., director of R&D with a nutritional ingredient supplier. There should be improved national programs educating people on how to monitor energy intake and expenditure and to inform them of options available for help. Almost without exception, obese individuals desire to lose weight, but many either do not know what to do or do not have an appropriate support structure to help them through the process, Ward adds. “Most success stories are a result of individuals that have searched, studied and found a weight-loss path that works for them. It may have components of dieting, exercise, counselling, prepared meals, support groups and so on…but it works for them.” There needs to be a paradigm shift, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Ward says. In the 2011 Prepared Foods’ survey, when respondents were asked about consumer attitudes toward balancing energy intake vs. energy use, they clearly felt consumers look to food, rather than exercise, as the way to manage weight. Specifically, the survey asked: “Please indicate your level of agreement with the following statement” and listed 10 comments in regards to weight management. Some 79 and 73% feel the consumer looks to changing their children’s or their own diets, respectively, rather than making lifestyle/ exercise changes. Some 69 and 67% feel consumers blame restaurant and food manufacturers, respectively. Only 24% feel the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans “will have a significant impact in curbing Americans’ weight issues.” (See chart “Foods Fuel Weight.”)

ingredient challenges Food availability, along with portion size, may well be a basic factor in obesity. A presentation titled, “Portion Distortion,” by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Obesity Education Initiative, asks, “Do You Know How Food Portions Have Changed in 20 Years?” (See http://tinyurl. com/ybrfp7b.) The presentation points out that some 20 years ago, a bottle of soda was 8.5oz and contained 85 calories. Now, a bottle is 20oz and 250 calories. A 160lb person would have to work 35 minutes in a garden to burn off the extra calories. A turkey sandwich was typically 320 calories some 20 years ago, while today it is some 820 calories. Burning off the 500-calorie difference would require 1 hour, 25 minutes of bike riding. Servings of bagels to burgers, French fries to spaghetti and meatballs have all been “supersized.” Expecting consumers with often time-starved lives to “exercise it off” can be only part of the solution. Controlled food consumption is a key factor.
Watchers label. The Special K brand fell into second place, with 8.9% of the new product launches making a claim; Healthy Choice came in third at 6.4%; Lean Cuisine at 5.0%; and Nestle’s Fitness/Sveltesse at 4.6%.
Looking in more detail at the types of claims made, Williams noted products claiming “satiety” have never really taken off. However, references about a product being “filling” have increased in use. An example is
The Industry Responds “It starts and finishes with great taste. If you don’t have it, don’t bother. The rest is a moot point.” “Most weight management foods currently at retail are quite good these days, and portion control is very helpful to someone on a weight-loss plan.” – Respondents to the “2011 Prepared Foods’ R&D Trends Survey: Weight Management Formulations” Through the decades, the food industry has offered consumers products addressing weight management in many formats, from diet and low-fat foods to, more recently, satiety products. Speakers at an October 5, 2011, virtual trade show on weight management, held by Prepared Foods, provided a recent industry overview. (The show, including presentations, is available on-demand at http:// tinyurl.com/3gjd4ez, until April 2012.) In a presentation titled, “What’s New in Weight Management,” Lu Ann Williams, head of research, Innova Market Insights, reviewed new product offerings by manufacturers. Innova data shows 20.0% of products launched globally from January 2008-October 2010 that made a weight management claim were under the Weight See Food Master-INGREDIENTS, p. 60

Weight Watchers’ promotional material also notes it is a plan “based on the latest nutritional research.” Science-based support for claims may well be increasing in importance. “Much research is still needed to understand satiety signalling and what impacts satiety signalling,” says Ward. Satiety signalling is impacted by more than just food. For example, exercise, stress, genetics and environment may all influence eating patterns and satiety signalling. “I don’t

think that satiety signalling will be as simple as consuming one ingredient,” Ward adds. “It may take multiple adjustments along the lines of variables that impact hunger, satiety and eating patterns. Being able to see this larger picture is important, because I don’t think consumers should think one small change will provide all of the answers.” Although messages on metabolism have never really transferred well to packaged foods, there is a growing trend in this area, also, says Williams. Global claims related to “increasing metabolism” have increased 147% from 2008-2010, although the initial number was very small, Williams admits. Jenny Craig’s Metabolic Max program is one example. Williams suggested metabolism references are more technical and, thus, a more difficult concept for consumers to grasp. However, they can now be supported by background educational information provided through social media, websites and so on. Innova data also showed a 55% increase since 2008 in global products making some type of fat-burning/-distribution claim, and an increase of 5.3% during the same 2008-2010 period with products using a portion control platform. “We’ve heard about the demise of portion control, but we haven’t found that at all,” says Williams. In the U.S., “portion control” is likely one aspect of the trend towards “structurally thin” foods, a trend seen in both retail and foodservice products. One example is the newly introduced line of Bagel Thin Bundles from Einstein Bros,

In the U.S., there has been a trend towards foods that are “thin” in one dimension. For example, Bagel Thin Bundles from Einstein Bros are under 400Kcal, and the bagels that form the bread portion of sandwiches are thinner than a traditional bagel. and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) and chitosan are often aligned with products positioned for their ability to support body shaping or optimal fat distribution. Investigating the reputation of various ingredients among food processor staff involved in product development was another task of the 2011 Prepared Foods’ survey. For example, one question asked, “Which of the following ingredients assist in enhancing satiety?”—a list of 30 ingredients was then provided. When the responses were tallied, protein and “fibertype” ingredients did indeed come out on top. However, respondents with sales and marketing functions tended to be more disbelieving than people with technical (R&D and QC) functions. Overall, 70% of those that responded agreed dietary fiber could enhance satiety, with 78% of people in R&D saying so. But, only 52% of sales and marketing folks agreed. The two groups were in more harmony on “whole grains and seeds,” with 58% of R&D and 45% of sales/marketing agreeing the ingredient category increased

ingredient challenges satiety. The widest gap between sales/marketing and technical functions was in regards to opinions on hydrocolloid gums and satiety, where 39% of R&D/QC felt they could assist in satiety, but only 13% of sales and marketing recognized their ability to do so (and very possibly did not know what such ingredients were). Resistant starch, with fiber-like properties, was similarly recognized by 35 and 19% of R&D/QC and sales/marketing folks, respectively, as being able to enhance satiety. Hoodia gordonii is a popular supplement traditionally taken by South African Bushmen to suppress appetite during long hunting trips. It was only recognized by 7% of respondents in the Prepared Foods’ survey…all of them with technical titles. Responses to the survey question, “Which of the following ingredients assist in altering metabolism?” were in harmony with Innova data. Of the items listed, green tea, followed by “stimulants such as caffeine, theobromine,” was identified by almost half of those surveyed. Dietary fiber and whole grains or seeds also ranked high, perhaps basking in the light of being “good for you, in general.” (See chart “Top Metabolism Enhancers.”) When asked, “Which of the following ingredients assist in hindering calorie uptake?” survey respondents again leaned heavily toward fiber-type ingredients, with 51% of the respondents clicking off dietary. This included hydrocolloid gums and sugar polyols, with 16 and 14% of respondents, respectively, indicating those ingredients could hinder calorie uptake. Enyzmes that inhibit starch breakdown and, thus, calorie digestion, were identified by 22%. However, chitosan, the “animal fiber” well-studied for its ability to hinder fat uptake, was only recognized by 11% of those surveyed. (See chart “Fiber-fighting Calorie Uptake.”) Respondents were generally knowledgeable about the ability of various ingredients to improve the taste and texture quality of products. When asked, “Which of the following ingredients can assist in improving sensory properties of weight management products?”—flavorings, high-intensity sweeteners, sugar
polyols and hydrocolloid gums were checked off by 62, 53, 42 and 34%, respectively, of the respondents. Whole ingredients fared a little worse, with 41, 21 and 20% of respondents agreeing that fruits, vegetables and “whole grains or seeds”
could improve the sensory properties of such foods and beverages. While many point to the easy availability of great-tasting, but calorie-laden foods as the root of obesity, food manufacturers are striving to make greattasting, but better-for-you products.

Chili peppers are significance. known for medicinally important capsaicinoids. And, the axiom is usually “the hotter the better.” One newly popular pepper, the bhut jolokia—a.k.a., the “ghost chili”—is one of the hottest peppers in the world. In 2010, researchers Yi Liu, Ph.D., and Muralee Nair, Ph.D., at Michigan State University in East Lansing, quantified the functional components of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in ghost chilies and compared the content to the more common jalapeño and Scotch bonnet hot peppers. The concentration of these anti-inflammatory and cancer-protective chemicals in bhut jolokia was “about 338 and 18 times greater than in Scotch bonnet and jalapeño, respectively.” The scientists also found higher activity of lipid peroxidation and cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and -2) enzymes in inhibitory concentrations. Of course, formulators do not have to go with the trendiest peppers. All hot chili peppers are excellent, inexpensive and easy ways of bringing in big flavor with big health benefits.

unctionally beneficial? Check! Trendy and marketable? Check! Easy to manufacture, ship and store? Check! Economically sound formulation? Check! Right…now, has anything been forgotten? One of the top reasons functional food and beverage formulations fail should really be a “no-brainer”—it has to taste good. When examining the market of new food and drink products that hit the market under some type of “goodfor-you” banner, the value of functional foods is proven: The functional food and beverage market is at almost $30 billion, according to Euromonitor International (www. euromonitor.com), Chicago. Yet, of the 5,000+ functional products launched since 2006, the 5-year mark for specific products can become a game of “Where are they now?” “Products that may be very healthy will still deter consumers, if they do not taste good,” stress Euromonitor experts, in a recent report on the functional food market. Getting a product to stand out among the thousands of others competing for precious shelf space is difficult enough. Adding functionality to the mix raises the stakes considerably, because many functional ingredients present taste and texture challenges. Here are some up-trending ingredients that can help make functional flavor success happen.

ents can be something everyone can recognize. Cinnamon, the dry bark of the plant genus Cinnamomum, is one of the oldest and most popular spices used. It also has been an important ingredient in traditional Chinese and Indian medicines for millennia. Cinnamon is the richest source of procyanidin compounds among the 98 common foods analyzed by the USDA. Two other highly desired flavors on this list also happen to be highly trendy, functional stars—dark berries and chocolate. Procyanidins possess a particularly high oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), the measure of potential protection from the damaging effects of free radicals. Such damage can trigger the aberrant cell growth that leads to tumor development and certain forms of cancer. But, cinnamon also attracted attention as a possible mitigator of diabetes. In a September 2011 article in the Journal of Medicinal Food, Davis and Yokoymaya reported the results of a meta-analysis on the
effect of cinnamon on fasting blood glucose levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes (so-called “insulin resistance”)—conditions also intimately related to the now global pandemic of obesity. This meta-analysis looked at eight randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies. Results indicated both cinnamon and cinnamon extract improved blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. Horchata is a traditional beverage—a milk substitute made from grain and spices. In Mexico, horchata is rice and cinnamon, sometimes with vanilla. Its success shows that, while cinnamon is typically associated with baked formulations, consumer acceptance runs high wherever the flavor is employed.

Tart cherries are a powerful Superfruit and are available year-round in dried, frozen and juice forms; they are versatile enough to include in any dish—from a yogurt parfait to trail mix to a post-exercise smoothie. article published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, “Ginger and its Health Claims: Molecular Aspects,” the pungent fractions of ginger—gingerols, shogaols, paradols and volatile constituents, such as sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes—provide this ingredient powerhouse with antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory potential. Ginger ale has a long history of use as a home remedy for indigestion, motion sickness, morning sickness, coughs, sore throats and digestive disturbances. Combining the functional tradition with flavor has brought success to companies, like Reed’s Inc.(www. reedsgingerbrew.com), Los Angeles. The beverage maker uses fresh ginger in all its formulations, for both the strong-yet-attractive flavor profile and genuine health benefits. According to founder Christopher Reed, the company approaches its use of ginger in beverages with the idea of keeping flavor paramount, yet preserving the beneficial properties of the ingredient. “The process our beverages go through can only be likened to small-batch, micro-brewed beers,” he explains. “It’s much longer and more tedious compared to [traditional] soda manufacturing, but it’s worth it—when you take the first sip, and your ginger beer tastes like real ginger.”
Tart Cherries Finding new ways to incorporate fruit into people’s diets is not only essential, it has become a major part of the movement toward creating healthier products. “This powerful Superfruit is available year-round in dried, frozen and juice forms,” says Jeff Manning, chief marketing officer of the Cherry Marketing Institute (www.cherryresearch.com), Lansing, Mich. “They’re versatile enough to include in any dish, from a yogurt parfait to trail mix to a post-exercise smoothie.” Tart cherries are packed with powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins that give the Superfruit its bright red color and are the source of their anti-inflammatory properties.

ingredient challenges dose of tart cherries might help to combat risk factors associated with arthritis and heart disease, as well as aid in muscle recovery after strenuous exercise. “One of the most underrated of the so-called Superfruits, tart cherries provide a unique flavor profile along with powerful antioxidant protection,” continues Manning. “If tart cherries were grown in a tropical rain forest, instead of northern Michigan, where they are most commonly known as cherry-pie cherries, they would be a highly coveted culinary delight carrying all the mystique of açai and goji berries.” But, despite the quiet “hypeless” image, tart cherries’ protective nature is well documented. In a 2010 study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, tart cherries were found to aid runners in prevention of muscle pain resulting from severe training. Tart cherries contain flavonoids and anthocyanins that may protect against oxidation and inflammation.
Savory Savory flavors saw a big opening up in the 1990s, with much attention paid to the “fifth” flavor note of umami (which means “meatiness”). This was expanded even further in the 2010s, with the introduction of the related sensory concept of kumami, which is a Japanese term denoting “heartiness” and lingering flavor. It has been described as the combining of flavor and mouthfeel. The result is similar to what one gets from aged
cheeses or slow-cooked stews and sauces and often comes into foods through yeast or protein extracts. While similar to umami, kumami comes via fermented ingredient systems derived from proteins broken down into amino acids, and di- and tri-peptides. Flavorants derived from soy, fish, fermented/well-aged dairy or cheeses, tomatoes and broths are examples and are excellent for enhancing like formulations (say, a tomato-based sauce) with kumami. Glutathiones (glutamic acid with cysteine and glycine) can be a shortcut to this flavor note, as well. An antioxidative compound found naturally in plants and animals, glutathione (GSH) has a long history of use in flavor bases. Lingering richness of flavor also comes from combining salty/savory with a hint of sweet. American palates were opened up to this combo with the explosion of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine beginning in the 1980s. Uses of peanuts and coconut in savory formulations are perfect examples. The appeal of these cuisines grew out of their presenting American palates with familiarity, exoticism and economy, at a time when the average U.S. consumer was open to breaking free of flavor tradition. Just think of what goes into the traditional Thai noodle dish, pad thai. In addition to the hearty kumami notes from a well-hidden drop of fermented fish sauce, other savory notes are enhanced by accompanying crushed sweetened peanuts and fruity lime and tamarind. Foreign allure meets fruit and peanuts, creating a new comfort food: the perfect flavor storm.

The report focused on weight management products, but results may well extend to other BFY foods. (See http://tinyurl.com/4xlgxhl.) Once again, Prepared Foods, under its NutraSolutions brand, offers the “Ingredients for Health Reference” that provides market data and information on commercially available ingredients to provide assistance in the development of products targeting various health benefits. The categories are as follows: •Antioxidants for Health •Bone and Joint Health •Cancer: Reducing Risk •Cardiovascular Health •Cognitive Health •Diabetic Benefits •Digestive Health •Energy and/or Sports Performance •Eye Health •Immunity Enhancement •Weight Management and •General Health.
Antioxidants for Health so, too too, are The benefits of antioxidants are vast; so the health claims being used around the globe associated with antioxidants—claims ranging all the way from heart health to skin health. The antioxidants phenomenon may be finally beginning to peak, however, with only a 7% increase in product launches tracked by Innova Market Insights from 2009-2010 with an antioxidant positioning; this is a significant difference, compared to the 60% increase recorded from 2008-2009. Global product launch activity for 2010 with antioxidant claims tracked by Innova Market Insights was dominated by the beverage market. The leading categories were tea (22.6%), juice & juice drinks (16.3%) and iced tea (7.8%)*. The most popular food categories with antioxidant claims were cereal & energy bars (5.4%) and breakfast cereals (4.4%)*. From an ingredients perspective, the most-used ingredients associated with an antioxidant claim were vitamins C, E and A, green tea catechins, zinc, pomegranate, acai, rooibos, tocopherol and goji berry. * Percentage of all products carrying an antioxidant claim.

An impressive part of recent scientific studies follows the role of carotenoids in physical processes that support healthy heart function. Tomato extract contains valuable carotenoids, such as phytoene, phytofluene and lycopene. These three carotenoids have proven to act synergistically and to support health benefits in several cases. Tomato extract also contains natural phytosterols, which have been scientifically proven to reduce LDL cholesterol. A highly researched nutrient is the Lyc-O-Mato—a patented, natural tomato extract which contains the combination of all four valuable phytonutrients: phytoene, phytofluene, lycopene and phytosterols.

X Reducing Cholesterol with Pine Danisco’s PinVita™ Phytosterols are derived from a natural, sustainable pine source. Pine-derived phytosterols are the purest form and offer superior benefits, due to their supply availability and their non-allergen and non-GMO source. PinVita Phytosterols are structurally related to cholesterol, but differ from it because of the presence of modified side chains containing extra methyl or ethyl groups. This structural difference results in a different metabolism in humans. Phytosterols derived from pine are equally as effective as plant sterols from other sources (such as soy) in reducing cholesterol absorption, thereby decreasing plasma cholesterol levels. PinVita Phytosterols are available in free or esterified form for use in dietary supplements, spreads, dairy and bakery products— to name just a few applications. Danisco USA Inc.,

Diabetic Benefits Food manufacturers are responding to the diabetes epidemic facing the world, and the result has been annual growth in new product launches that tout a diabetic positioning, according to global product launch statistics tracked by Innova Market Insights. “Diabeticfriendly” and “suitable for diabetics” are examples of claims used, and products are often endorsed frontof-pack by the local diabetic association. New product
launch activity with the diabetic-friendly health positionings of “sugar free” and “low sugar” have both increased from 2009-2010, with an increase of +3.2 and +14%, respectively. Glycemic index (GI) claims are again back on the radar and can be a great aid, not only for diabetics, but for all consumers watching their carbs. A recipe or product must have a glycemic index of 55 or less to be classified as low GI. Low-GI product launch activity has been strongest to date in the U.S., Australia, South Africa and the UK. —Lu Ann Williams, Innova Market Insights, helpdesk@ innovami.com, www.innovadatabase.com

The most active market categories for digestive/gut health claims** were yogurt (24.7%),
dairy drinks (14%), tea (8.5%), juice & juice drinks (2.3%) and breakfast cereals (2.3%). “With added fiber” and “enriched with fiber” are examples of claims having more front-of-pack prominence for a wider variety of products; specification of the type of fiber used is also now being claimed. Psyllium fiber (derived from the seed husks of a plant called Plantago ovate) is being touted as a fiber source with extra benefits, as it is a good source of soluble fiber. There was a 5% increase in product launches featuring psyllium fiber from 20092010, and there is potential for significant growth in the future, with fiber specification expected to be an important trend to appeal to more health-conscious consumers. * Active health = “food plus” e.g., functional/fortified launches. ** Percentage of all products carrying a digestive/gut health claim.

Custom-formulated for applications such as beverages and dairy-based foods, these ingredients effectively mask the bitter, licorice-like and astringent notes often associated with the sweetener.

ZeaGold® Natural Zeaxanthin from paprika is an all-natural, highly bioavailable 3R, 3’R zeaxanthin for use in dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages. Zeaxanthin is a yellow-orange carotenoid pigment found in fruits and vegetables, such as peppers, corn and oranges. It may be more important than lutein in protecting the ocular tissue from oxidative damage. Zeaxanthin acts as a filter by absorbing blue light that initiates generation of oxyradicals that place photo-oxidative stress on the retina. It also acts as an antioxidant by quenching singlet oxygen and reactive radicals that damage photoreceptor cells. ZeaGold is an excellent source of a broad spectrum of vegetable carotenoids and antioxidant nutrients; it is a GRAS substance that has proven bioavailability.

Eye Health With the number of aged consumers growing worldwide, products containing ingredients promising eyehealth benefits will be sought after. Eye health is an area which receives less manufacturer attention, which results in fewer new product introductions, compared to other areas, such as digestive health. In 2010, global product launches with an eye-health positioning tracked by Innova Market Insights constituted just 2% of products with an active health* positioning, with other aged-related active health positionings, such as bone health (4.8%) and brain health (3.9%), still being small, but more popular, areas of focus. The top ingredients utilized offering eye-health benefits include vitamin A, vitamin E, zinc, beta-carotene, lutein, omega-3 and vitamin B9. * Active health = “food plus” e.g., functional/fortified launches.

Short and recognizable ingredient lists; the use of natural colorings and flavorings; and the spread of organic offerings available in most market categories demonstrate the increased global demand of “as natural as possible” products that are produced in an ethical, sustainable manner. Ingredient sourcing is increasingly under the spotlight, with, for example, free-range and local produce claims experiencing a surge. Analysis from Innova Market Insights revealed a 51% increase in global product launches with a free-range claim from 2009-2010, suggesting this trend and other ethical and sustainable claims will continue to flourish in the future. —Lu Ann Williams, Innova Market Insights, helpdesk@ innovami.com, www.innovadatabase.com

X Natural Alternative to Hydrogenated Oil Palm oil is an ideal natural alternative to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, when a solid fat is required for functionality and stability in baked goods and snack foods. It is naturally solid at room temperature; no chemical processes are used in its production. The oil is extracted from the fruit by expeller-pressing, without the use of organic solvents. Color and odor are removed only using steam, vacuum and natural clay. Due to the low level of polyunsaturated fats and the presence of natural antioxidants, palm has excellent shelflife—without the need for synthetic antioxidants. This functionality and stability, coupled with a low cost, makes palm oil a popular choice for the elimination of trans fat in the bakery industry. American Palm Oil Council, www. americanpalmoil.com

X Bone Benefits of Hydrolyzed Collagen Evaluated Osteoporosis is a critical disorder characterized by bone loss and an increased risk of fracture. Oral intake of Peptan™, from Rousselot, may have a positive impact in preserving Bone Mineral Density (BMD) before osteoporosis appears. In one study, the effect of Peptan hydrolyzed collagen was evaluated on the bone health of ovariectomized mice (OVX) of different ages. Animals were divided into different groups: one group ingested Peptan after OVX; another group ingested Peptan several weeks before OVX and continued over additional weeks; another ingested Raloxifene, a drug for osteoporosis. Twenty-six weeks after the OVX procedure, Peptan significantly improved BMD; Peptan ingestion for one month before surgery prevented a BMD decrease. Rousselot, www. rousselot.com

Developing flavorful, functional and better-for-you foods and beverages presents formulation challenges. Flavorchem’s highly stable masking flavors allow formulators the freedom to use functional ingredients at usage rates they desire, without the associated off-flavors. “Beneficial ingredients, such as omega-3s, stevia and soy, can produce undesirable tastes or odors. As a result, manufacturers may limit usage levels or avoid functional ingredients altogether, missing out on valuable package label opportunities.” states Phil Sprovieri, vice president of sales and marketing at Flavorchem. “The solution is to use a flavor that’s specifically developed to mask a particular off-flavor.” Flavorchem, 800-4352867, www.flavorchem.com NS

ADM/Matsutani LLC
Advanced Food Systems, Inc.
ADM/Matsutani LLC recently launched Fibersol®-LQ, a corn syrup containing 75% concentrated soluble corn fiber (d.s.b). Developed as an answer to the industry’s demand for a version of fiber tailored to fit specific manufacturing parameters and economic structures, Fibersol-LQ is the third product in the Fibersol-2 line. Fibersol-2 is the industry’s premier soluble form of soluble dietary fiber, with Fibersol-2 AG offering an agglomerated option, and Fibersol-LQ now providing a liquid alternative.
“Sodium and Fat Reduction”, “Weight Management”, “Clean Labels”, “Better For You” are all current trends in the food industry that present manufacturers with unique processing challenges. AFS has been creating custom ingredient systems that help processors create on-trend foods that provide good taste and texture for 30 years. Our systems can lower salt, lower fat, feature clean labels and are preservative and allergen free.
Fibersol-2, the premier slow fermentation soluble dietary fiber, is helping manufacturers increase the fiber content to improve the nutritional value of virtually any food or beverage product without affecting the taste or adding unwanted texture. Fibersol®-2 is GRAS as a maltodextrin and can be labeled “Resistant Maltodextrin”*, “Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin”, or “Soluble Corn Fiber”.
AFS Salt Replacers and Salt Substitutes can reduce sodium by as much as 50% without sacrificing flavor. Allergen free and made with natural flavors, they provide a clean flavor without the bitterness traditionally associated with salt replacers.
Fibersol®-2 has been shown in clinical studies to help control satiety and support intestinal health. It contains fewer calories than maltodextrin, with the fiber portion (90% of Fibersol-2) providing only 1.4 kcal/gram.
ReadiCream® is designed to replace Heavy Cream and Half & Half in soups, sauces, dressings and bakery products. These products will have less fat while maintaining all of their flavor and texture.
Fibersol®-2 is tasteless, improves body/texture and offers masking properties. It offers high solubility, rapid dispersion, provides a clear and transparent solution, no inherent or added flavors, improves flavor/performance of high intensity sweeteners, low sweetness, acid and heat/ retort stability, superior freeze/thaw stability, very low viscosity, promotes moisture retention and has very low hygroscopicity.
AFS Cheese Boosters® reduce both sodium and fat content. Their high flavor intensity helps to improve flavor impact using fewer, less expensive ingredients, allowing cost savings as well. AFS can partner with you to develop and manufacture customized ingredient systems for an array of food products and processing capabilities.

Danisco USA Today’s consumers understand that dietary fiber is key to good digestive health, but one-third of those surveyed in a 2011 study commissioned by Danisco associate at least one negative side effect with fiber intake.

Easily incorporated into a wide range of applications, it is highly soluble and has no negative impact on taste or mouthfeel. More than half of those surveyed in the Danisco fiber study believe they get too little fiber today, so interest in added-fiber products is high.

DM Flavor Sensations™ David Michael & Co. offers a number of flavor modifiers that can assist manufacturers in achieving a more flavorful and oftentimes healthier product. Responding to rising concerns and consumer requests, some food manufacturers have already begun reformulating existing lines with less salt. But, because salt adds to and enhances the flavor of food, products with reduced salt can also lack a signature flavor. To address the need for sodium reduction, without flavor reduction, David Michael created a line of salt replacers. DM Choice® Natural Flavor Salt Type allows up to a 30% reduction of sodium, but delivers the same amount of flavor impact. They are also free of HVP and added MSG. David Michael’s salt replacers are available in powder form, and can be used in any product that is formulated with salt. In addition, David Michael also offers a line of DM Choice® natural potassium blockers type that can be used to decrease the bitterness and metallic off-notes often associated with potassium salts. All of DM Flavor Sensations™ can be customized to provide maximum performance for each client’s particular application. For more information on DM Flavor Sensations, including Salt Replacers, contact your Account Manager or call 1.800.DM.FLAVORS today! www.dmflavors.com

TIC Gums Adding Texture Back To Low/No Calorie Beverages TIC Gums Texture Revolution™ team can add texture back into low and zero calorie beverages. Without sugar, artificial sweeteners replace the sweetness. The hidden attribute of natural sugar is viscosity. When the sugar is removed, so is some of the texture. By adding texture back into low and no calorie drinks with gums and blends of gums, low calorie drinks deliver a more satisfying experience. If the texture is not replaced, the drinks will be watery, thin and will clear the mouth very quickly. Added viscosity paints the inside of the mouth with flavor. Without it, the flavor will not linger and the experience not as agreeable. While the health benefits of fewer calories are desirable, few are willing to trade taste and flavor for nutritional benefits Gums also contain soluble fiber; in fact most gums contain as much as 80% soluble fiber, an added benefit. Most Americans do not get enough soluble fiber in their diets. By replacing sugar with blends of gums, not only is the texture restored, calories reduced, fiber is added!
Your brand success is ours. Sensient…The Bold Difference in Your Brand.

U. S. Highbush Blueberry Council
Mini-Bars with Maxi Flavor? Blueberries! Bars are big, and they’re smaller than ever. Streamlined bars—call them thins, squares or mini-bars—chock full of real blueberries satisfy demands for health, taste, portion control. Blueberries keep bars moist, add mouth-watering flavor and make it real. Blueberries brighten glutenfree, harmonize with ancient grains, work well in savory to sweet. Be inspired by new blueberry bar concepts: blueberry boomer bars, blueberry beauty bars, blueberry mini-bars and jelly roll blues blueberry bars. Blueberries have the natural pizzazz and formats to fit them all. Plump, juicy, cultivated blueberries mean flavor in a multitude of convenient formats: whole, fresh or dried; as puree, concentrate, and juice; freeze-dried and osmotically preserved. With their fruity burst-in-the-mouth flavor and healthy profile, blueberries give products lush taste, broad appeal and a clean label. Year-round availability allows formulation flexibility and innovative line extensions. The Real Blueberry Seal™ tells consumers—at a glance— that the product contains real highbush blueberries: http://www.blueberry.org/form_realseal.html For further information, contact: U. S.

With 45% less sodium than our regular soy sauce, it’s the lowest-sodium soy sauce we make. We brew it for elevated amino acids and higher total nitrogen, then reduce the sodium after brewing with a proprietary process. The result: a rich, robust, tamari-style sauce that actually has more soy sauce flavor and umami depth than regular soy sauce. Want to add great soy sauce taste and cut sodium by up to half? Call for a sample today.
