Natural preservatives extend oil life
Extend the shelf life of frying oils with the company’s natural preservative formulation, which combats oxidation, thermal degradation and hydrolytic rancidity. The formulation is GMO-free, oil-soluble and vegan and enables a clean label. The formulation also helps manufacturers get more frying out of their oils by slowing down the oxidative degradation due to reuse, thus keeping the oil safe for an increased number of product batches per liter of oil.

Tomato extracts add umami and kokumi
It’s no accident that tomatoes are a pantry staple; they have a unique ability to bring out other flavors while also adding richness and depth to dishes. Both umami and kokumi characteristics have been isolated from the tomato to create concentrated Sante, which enhances taste, reduces the need for salt, and is even able to stand in place of other artificial flavoring agents. The ingredient also is Non-GMO, Certified Kosher (OU) and Certified Halal (IFANCA).

Low-sugar glucose syrups
Reduce the amount of sugar on labels with Versasweet, a line of low-sugar glucose syrups. They allow manufacturers of confectionery, dairy, ice cream and baked good products to achieve reduced grams of sugar by formulating with low-sugar corn- or tapioca-based glucose syrups that, compared to standard glucose syrups, have a lower percentage of mono- and disaccharides (DP1 + DP2). Low viscosity and non-GMO versions are also available. The syrups can offer a 50 percent or higher reduction of DP1 + DP2, depending on the glucose syrup being replaced. The range of ingredients is about one-third as sweet as sucrose. It is said to have a clean-taste and similar functionality to traditional glucose syrups and is stable when exposed to heat and acid, with a low Maillard reactivity. Depending on the syrup chosen, it can be labeled as glucose syrup, corn syrup or tapioca syrup. Ingredion; Westchester, Ill.; 800-713-0208; www.ingredion.us
