Label-friendly ingredient portfolio expanded
Natural food preservation spe
cialist Corbion Purac has launched Verdad Powder F80, a new label-friendly ingredient that preserves the freshness, integrity and flavour of a wide variety of foods.
Based on the natural fermentation processes of sugar cane, Verdad Powder F80 can be labelled as ‘fermented sugar’ to meet consumer demand for natural, fresh and authentic-tasting products.
Verdad Powder F80 is part of Corbion Purac’s growing portfolio of fermentation-based ingredient solutions and was developed in response to industry demand for a powder version of its Verdad F range. Using the latest fermentation and spray-dying technology, Verdad Powder F80 is the outcome of minimal processing, resulting in a natural food integrity product.
Verdad Powder F80 can be applied to a wide range of fresh and ready-to-eat products, such as sauces, salads, and breads, where it effectively improves and maintains the sensory and physical attributes of the product during the course of its shelf life.
Ivo Van der Linden, category manager preservation at Corbion Purac, comments, “Consumers are increasingly concerned about the ingredients in their food and regularly check product labels. With the demand for pure and authentic food growing, the food industry is faced with the challenge to find natural ingredients that can deliver on food quality and integrity without compromising on taste or shelf life. With Verdad Powder F80, we can now offer food processors a greater choice of label-friendly ingredients and more flexibility in application.”
