Range of small fruit pieces launched

Taura Natural Ingredients has introduced Mini’s, a range of small fruit pieces developed to enable food manufacturers to add the benefits of real fruit to applications where it has not before been possible.

Demand is increasing for small real fruit pieces that are suitable for use in bakery and confectionery applications such as ultra-thin biscuits and thin chocolate tablets. Mini’s are also expected to be popular as toppings on donuts and muffins and as inclusions in fruit and nut mixes.

The small size and the consistency of the Mini’s pieces means that they travel easily through production equipment such as depositor nozzles and rollers. They contain high fruit content with no artificial colours or preservatives. They are free-flowing and bake stable, so they won’t burn, bleed or discolour during baking, and they have a water activity of 0.41-0.45 to suit both dry and moist applications.
