R&D Updates – March 2021

Find out what's been going on in our R&D kitchens over the last month!

01. PLANT BASED DUCK STIR FRY

There is an increasing demand from consumers for healthier convenience food to meet their growing expectations.

Our latest ready-meal concept combines vegan duck with a sugar-reduced sweet chilli sauce (avanté 10S) and high protein noodles (complex 18) - ticking a number of boxes.

02. FLAVOUR GLAZES

 

We have just launched three new ingredients into the synergie range of starches. These are aimed at stabilising dry flavour glaze systems, and the easy addition of wet ingredients for friendly flavour declarations.

 

One of these ingredients, synergie LP25 allows for simple plating of liquids for ease of use in dry blends. Declared simply as tapioca starch, this ingredient allows for customers to improve back of pack and title of the product.

03. HIGH VEG BURGERS
With health in the spotlight, plant-based burgers have been on quite a development journey in recent months.

Our new high vegetable burger concept has over 50% of the recipe counting towards your 5-a-day. We have been able to overcome traditional textural difficulties using our complex, scilia, and synergie products, while boosting health appeal – perfect for approaching summer!

04. VEGAN MAC & CHEESE

 

Vegan mac & cheese bites are the latest addition to our vegan snack food range of recipes.

 

We use synergie L526 and delyte 9 to thicken and add mouthfeel to the vegan cheese sauce before adding the macaroni and coating in panko breadcrumbs. Comfort food at its best!
