Arla Foods Ingredients has unveiled a new Nutrilac Natural Improvers toolbox range designed to provide optimized production processes, better quality end-products, reduced waste and cleaner labels for bakers.
The Nutrilac Natural Improvers range includes Nutrilac CH-4650, Nutrilac IM-8027, Nutrilac IM-5566, Nutrilac IM-7042. All the ingredients are made from natural and functional proteins derived from milk and can be listed on-pack simply as 'milk protein'.
According to the company, the Natural Improvers range is a portfolio of multi-functional ingredients offering benefits for producers of bread, cakes, biscuits & cookies and bakery fillings. They have the ability to lock in the air whipped into batters and the water kneaded into dough, resulting in optimum freshness, texture and resilience throughout the shelf life of the product.
Nutrilac Natural Improvers can extend the product's shelf life as they help a product maintain perfect sensory properties for longer, cutting down on waste and increasing profit margins as well as improve the nutritional profile of a baked product by reducing fat content.
Arla Foods Ingredients senior manager Sren Nrgaard said that the new Nutrilac Natural Improvers offer bakers a huge variety of benefits that meet a comprehensive range of production needs, including optimised processes, better product quality and reduced wastage.
"They will appeal to consumers, too, because they will result in a healthier product with a cleaner label, free of the e-numbers and chemical names used for other improvement additives," Nrgaard added.
Initially, the new range is being launched in Europe and China, with a global roll-out set for later this year.
