August 2007 Ingredient Round-Up - Dairy Flavors and Ingredients

Aug. 24, 2007
August's Ingredient Round-Up features dairy flavors and ingredients, including cheddar blends, diary fat replacers and probiotic ingredients. Read on for the latest formulations from Edlong Dairy Flavors, Kraft Food Ingredients, Gum Technology Corp., and many more.

Dairy without diacetyl

After several years of research, the company has developed flavor technology that eliminates the need for added diacetyl in dairy flavors.  Ed-Vantage is the new line of non-diacetyl dairy flavors, which provides the mouthfeel, aroma and buttery flavor that are characteristic of diacetyl-containing products but with a clean label. Evaluation of the flavors in microwave popcorn, cookies, sauces, dips, desserts, beverages, etc., shows the buttery notes of diacetyl can be effectively reproduced by these non-diacetyl flavors. The Ed-Vantage line of dairy flavors also is free of dairy allergens, non-GMO and more cost-stable than those subject to the currently escalating dairy commodities market. Samples are available.

Cheddar blend

Pasteurized Premium Cured Cheddar Blend is a proprietary blend of cheeses that retains its flavor consistency and texture throughout its shelf life. As an ingredient, it provides a versatile, convenient and cost-effective option to cold-pack cheddar cheese, providing the same flavor impact as a club cheese but at a lower usage level and a more favorable cost. The cheddar blend functions well with sauces, soups, side dishes and entrees.

Replace fat in dairy

A series of new ingredient systems is available for enhancing dairy products. Specially formulated for yogurts, smoothies and flavored milks, these solutions are the first to be launched under the new Enrich service, which enables food and beverage manufacturers to create products that are packed with additional nutrients but taste as good as regular brands. The vendor's Enrich service is focused on three main areas: digestive health and immunity; obesity and weight management; and children's health.

Correction … and an effective antimicrobial

We carried some outdated information in our Misc. Ingredients round-up in July. Natural antimicrobial Mirenat-N is no longer distributed by A&B Ingredients. But A&B does offer CytoGuard Antimicrobials, based on lauric arginate, a derivate of lauric acid, L-arginine and ethanol, all naturally occurring substances. They're suitable for controlling the shelf life of refrigerated food products, particularly meats. Typically used at very low levels, CytoGuard does not impact flavor, color, texture or pH of the product. It kills bacteria by altering the cell membranes of the microbes, preventing their growth, and is not affected by pH. It is effective against listeria, salmonella, e. coli, campylobacter, yeast and molds, lactobacillus and others.
