Cheasing’Up: cheese technology revolution from IDI The innovative technology, nominated for FI Excellence Award, offers many benefits like simplified process, no acid whey production and reduction of recipe and operational costs IDI identified considerable constraints related to traditional cheese production and made it a priority to develop a new technology and new proteins able to turn into successful endproducts, offering cheese producers new alternatives to fulfil their needs.

IDI now revolutionises the world of cheese with their technology without whey separation: cheasing’up.

This innovative process can be used to produce a wide range of cheeses: hard cheeses, soft cheeses, fresh cheeses and also processed cheeses.

Gelatins with convenience ...... 5 Freeze-drying technology for natural ingredients ........... 6

Cheasing’up brings many advantages to the cheese production process. Its logistical flexibility avoids the processing of by-product and reduces the number of manufacturing steps: no curd cutting, no draining and no brining for certain products. Beyond the flexibility of the technology, gains on operational costs and investments can go up to 60% compared to a traditional installation.

IDI’s R&D team is available to help customers develop recipes and formulations according to specifications, such as the availability of raw materials and in compliance with customs duties.

Nominated for innovation award IDI is with Cheasing’Up in the final three, running for The Most Innovative Food Ingredient Award in the dairy category. The Fi Excellence Awards recognise individuals and businesses for their exemplary work and contribution to the industry. The awards are judged by a panel of industry experts who will evaluate the entries on their ability to demonstrate and drive innovation. The Fi Excellence Awards will take place on November 29, 2011, at the Novotel Convention & Wellness Roissy CDG hotel in Paris, France.

New texturisers for baked goods and ice-cream Fiberstar introduces a new line of Citri-Fi® and hydrocolloid based products at Fi Europe 2011 Fiberstar is pleased to announce a new addition to their product line for Food Ingredients Europe. As a result of a strategic alliance with the Gum Technology Corporation, Fiberstar has developed a new line of Citri-Fi® and hydrocolloid products for use as texturisers in the food industry.

The new texturisers will increase moisture retention, extend shelflife, and improve yield, texture and mouth-feel in baked goods. In frozen novelties such as ice-cream and sorbet, the new ingredients reduce ice-cream ice crystallisation, impart a creamy texture, and improve yields and aeration.

The Citri-Fi® and hydrocolloid based ingredients can replace up to 50% of the egg in cakes to reduce costs by 20%. A variety of new applications and more product details will be presented at Fi Europe and in the coming months.

To learn more about these new products please attend Fiberstar’s 25 minute presentation on Tuesday November 29 at 17.00 in the seminar theater of hall 4.

Positive EFSA opinion on olive extract The positive opinion from EFSA on polyphenols in olive has confirmed the results of many years of research on olive science and specifically on olive polyphenols Visit the Grap’Sud booth at Fi Europe 2011 and learn more about their EFSA approved OLIVEX olive extract with a guaranteed content of polyphenols and their other products for the food and nutraceutical industry.

In April 2011, the European authorities EFSA published a positive scientific opinion on olive polyphenols. It concerns polyphenols from the olive fruit, the olive water, olive oil, fruit extract or leaf extract since they are standardised by their content of Hydroxytyrosol and derivatives.

The experts propose the following formulation of the claim: “consumption of olive oil polyphenols contributes to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative damage”. The condition for the use of this claim is

to consume at least 5 mg of Hydroxytyrosol and Tyrosol per day, which corresponds to around 100 mg/day of OLIVEX ref PHO6.

Grap’Sud product range Grap’Sud is specialised in the manufacturing and sales of grape by-products for various industries: wine making, food and nutraceuticals. A wide range of products is offered:

• Wine making: Tannins, rectified must concentrate The three main brands under which the products are offered are exGrape, OLIVEX and OLEOGRAPE. Grap’Sud - 1D64

• Foods: Natural colouring, wine extracts, grape juice concentrates, grape sugar • Nutraceuticals: Polyphenols from grape (grape seed extract, anthocyanins, polyphenols with a guaranteed content in resveratrol from grape, etc), but also olive polyphenols and since recently olive/grape polyphenols.

New burst release innovation from TasteTech At Fi Europe, microencapsulation specialist TasteTech showcases new innovation that ensures an intense flavour release of flavours and sweeteners TasteTech, specialist manufacturer of controlled release flavourings and ingredients, will be showcasing a burst release innovation at Food Ingredients Europe in Paris.

TasteTech TasteTech was incorporated in August 1992 and commenced trading in November that same year. Together with a number of colleagues, Roger Sinton set up TasteTech to develop microencapsulation techniques and quickly became pioneers in the field. All equipment was designed in-house and built locally to meet specific processing requirements. During the last 19 years, the team has helped solve countless food processing and manufacturing problems for its customers.

At their manufacturing plant in England, TasteTech has developed and trialled a process of uniting sweetener, flavourings and colours to produce small particles which burst with your chosen flavour when chewed. The shearing action and readily dissolved particles ensure an intense release of the flavour and sweeteners chosen.

Developed over 18 months, the novel delivery system can incorporate any combination of encapsulated sweeteners, acids and flavours for both burst and sustained release, providing a multi-functional, visually appealing product. TasteTech is confident that many of their customers both in the UK and overseas will be very excited to trial this in their own applications.

Dr Gary Gray, Technical Manager for TasteTech, says: “This technology and process can be integrated in multiple sectors including chewing gum and confectionery. At Fi Europe, we will be show casing peppermint breath fresh tablets, and we welcome people to come and sample this burst release innovation.”

Seeds, flakes, flours & fruits Specialised in the work of seed, Flanquart has developed a broad line of goods and carry out all sorts of mixtures starting from the various raw materials.
