NUTRA NEWS: Fully functional omega-3
Frutarom has launched omega-3 preparations for dairy products. The latest technology incorporates the health-promoting fatty acids into recipes without imparting any unpleasant aftertaste.
Essential omega-3 fatty acids have long been added to a wide variety of foods – yet their processing remains a great challenge for the manufacturer. This is because commercially available isolated omega-3 fatty acids are extremely sensitive to oxidative processes, which can trigger changes of flavour and aroma in the end product.
Frutarom’s Food Systems with omega-3 fatty acids now offer a straightforward solution. Use of the latest production technology prevents oxidation and thus greatly facilitates flavouring of the end products. Frutarom’s Food Systems enable dairy companies to produce functional omega-3 products absolutely comparable with their conventional counterparts with regard to taste.
As ‘all in one’ preparations, Frutarom’s Food Systems offer food manufacturers fast and straightforward subsequent processing and contain everything necessary to provide an end product with its very own unmistakable character: selected fruits, harmoniously rounded with flavours, sugar or sweeteners, stabilisers if required, and natural functional ingredients. Specifically developed for each individual end product, Food Systems are technologically and sensorially tailored to a wide variety of applications. Depending upon the particular application at hand, they are also available as savoury variants with meat, fish, or vegetables.
The new Food Systems line contains omega-3 fatty acids from fish. Frutarom can also supply omega-3 fatty acids of plant origin for purely vegetarian end products. These are provided by Alina, a high-quality omega-3 oil produced from sage seeds, which can likewise be incorporated into food systems with the aid of the latest production technology.
