Paradise Fruits releases allergen-free nut flavoured range
Paradise Fruits Solutions by Jahncke has launched an “exciting development with huge potential appeal for those with allergies”, with a new range of allergy-free nut flavoured granulates.
The business said demand from confectionery and baked goods producers for nut flavours, but without the use of real nut ingredients, has led to the development of the new range, which is especially relevant as research has shown that as many as 11.7% of the European population could be affected by a nut allergy (research carried out in 2016 ECARF Report).
The new nut-free granulates are available in eight flavours including Almond; Peanut; Peanut Caramel; Peanut Chocolate; Hazelnut; Pecan; Walnut and Pistachio.
They are expected to appeal to manufacturers of baked goods or chocolate products, general confectionery, cereals and ice cream manufacturers plus many more applications.
The granulates are offered in all standard cutting sizes including 2-4mm; 3-5mm; 4x5mm; 6x9mm and 9x9mm.
The nut-free granulates have an authentic nut taste and aroma, which is completely natural. The inclusions are more cost effective for manufacturers too, as less quantity is required in comparison to nuts to achieve the same flavour gained when using whole or chopped nut inclusions, said Paradise Fruits.
The new range is also completely allergen free, as well as being free from Palm oil. Not only are they suitable for those with allergies but they are gluten-free, Kosher and Halal capable and suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. In addition, they are bake stable and free flowing, therefore easy to dose.
Mike Schmidt, sales director of Paradise Fruits Solutions said: “We see huge potential for this range, as research shows there is a rising number of people throughout the globe with nut allergies, yet they are being demanded as a flavour in many of the most popular baked goods and confectionary products.”
The nut free inclusions can also be developed in bespoke flavour combinations and sizes based on customer requirements. Other formats, including a nut-free paste, are also currently in development and will be available in the new year.
Earlier this year Paradise Fruits launched a range of vitamin-infused fruit shapes and inclusions. This included assorted pure fruit shapes and freeze-dried granulates, which are fortified with a unique combination of vitamins, minerals and extracts to support health and wellbeing.
