Soluble fibers
The Promitor soluble fiber range has been expanded with two liquid versions: Soluble Fiber W and Soluble Fiber 90L. Soluble Fiber W, which contains a minimum of 85% fiber and less than 2% sugars, has a lower viscosity than comparable fiber ingredients and is well-suited for confectionery products such as gummies. Soluble Fiber 90L is a liquid version of the company’s existing 90% fiber powder ingredient, which, depending on the end-product and manufacturing setup, can provide production efficiencies by avoiding the need to dissolve or handle powders.

High-grade tuna oil
The UniQ DHA tuna oil range comes in two forms. The first is a crude oil, which is produced from selected raw materials via a gentle extraction process, resulting in pure and high-quality crude oil with a high refining yield that delivers a DHA content of 28-30%. The second, a refined oil, takes the crude oil as its base and has similar DHA levels to those found in fresh fish. For both products, the manufacturing process uses less fish to produce the same amount of oil, uses fewer chemicals, consumes less energy and produces less waste, says the company.

Flavors for plant-based dairy, meat and fish alternatives
These functional and characteristic flavors enable manufacturers to develop a clean-label plant-based product portfolio for dairy alternatives, such as drinks, yogurt-alternatives and ice cream; meat substitutes such as burger patties or nuggets; and fish substitutes. They aim to offset the unwanted bitter or beany off-notes characteristic of some plant proteins. Specific flavors help to achieve a more rounded taste characteristic, such as full-bodied umami or meaty notes next to enriching creamy profiles, creating a characteristic and dairy-like taste and mouthfeel. Flavors also are available for high-protein powder shakes and bars. Bell Flavors & Fragrances GmbH
