Dominion Salt

Dominion Salt supplies high quality Sodium Chloride (Salt) as an ingredient to a variety of commercial and artisan food producers nationwide and around the world. We pride ourselves on producing products that are manufactured to the highest food standards, certified to ISO 9001, FSSC2200 as well as Halal and Kosher accreditations. These certifications assure our customers they can expect consistency, adherence to Standards and traceability through the supply chain.

Marlborough Flaky Sea Salt is created by an age-old process of careful evaporation in a purpose built evaporator. The result is a unique, flake-shaped salt crystal that is ideal for finishing fine foods. The delicate crystal dissolves easily on the palate, greatly enhancing flavours and you tend to use less salt (by weight) on food.

Natural Sea Salt contains a higher level of the minerals Calcium and Magnesium than normal table salt, as these minerals are also naturally present in sea water. It is believed that this balance of minerals has beneficial effects on the body.

The Marlborough flakes are prized by the discerning epicurean palate for their superb flavour, soft texture and versatility when combined with fine cuisine.

Flaky salt also has excellent adherence qualities. This brings new taste sensations to many of your favourite foods and recipes.

We welcome your feedback as we continue to improve our digital interaction with customers. Please visit our website - www.domsalt.co.nz

Beneo

BENEO offers plant-based functional ingredients for food, feed, and pharma. They help improve the nutritional and technical properties of a wide variety of products by supporting health and optimising taste and texture. The Company’s portfolio includes functional carbohydrates from sugar beet, prebiotic chicory root fibre, plant-based proteins, and speciality ingredients from rice.

Through a unique chain of expertise, including the BENEO-Institute that provides decisive insights into nutrition science and legislation, and the BENEO-Technology Center that consults in application technology, BENEO supports customers by providing ingredients that promote a healthy lifestyle in a holistic way.

Palatinose™ Palatinose™ is a naturally sourced smart carbohydrate, providing full energy (4kcal/g) in a more balanced way thanks to its low-glycaemic profile. The sustained energy helps consumers get through their busy day-to-day activities. Athletes and sports enthusiasts also benefit from Palatinose™ because it contributes to sports performance by supporting optimum fuel supply.

Isomalt Isomalt is the only sugar replacer made from pure beet sugar. It has a sweetening profile almost equal to sucrose — with only half the calories. For more than four decades, this proven ingredient has been used in the production of sugar-free and ‘sugar-reduced’ confectionery and is the world’s leading bulk sweetener in sugar-free candies.

Orafti ® Inulin and Oligofructose Prebiotic chicory root fibres, Orafti ® Inulin and Oligofructose (FOS), improve balanced intestinal flora by stimulating growth of beneficial bifidobacterial — an important element of good digestive health. These prebiotic fibres have been proven to support weight management and help the body absorb more calcium for stronger bones. In addition, BENEO’s fibres also support a low-glycaemic diet.

Remypure S52 P The instant, functional native rice starch Remypure S52 P, allows food manufacturers to produce clean label food preparations, such as cold processed sauces, dressings, dairy desserts and bakery fillings. The new ingredient reportedly delivers soft and creamy textures and excellent product stability, even under harsh processing conditions such as high shear and acid.

Royal DSM

DSM elevates plant-based offering with first-of-its-kind vegan fish flavour Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in Nutrition, Health and Sustainable Living, has launched Maxavor ® Fish YE – a new vegan, 100% allergen-free flavour solution. Derived from algal oil, this unique innovation allows food manufacturers to deliver an authentic fish taste and mouthfeel in a variety of plant-based fish alternative applications, in addition to fish-based products.

Maxavor ® Fish YE offers manufacturers of plant- and fish-based foods two taste profiles (Maxavor ® Fish M YE and Maxavor ® Fish W YE) to emulate the body, mouthfeel and taste of distinct fish varieties; one for rich and oily dark fish and another for fresh, light and fleshy white fish. Maxavor ® Fish YE can therefore be used to create a wide range of appealing plant-based fish alternative and fish-based products, such as vegetarian fish nuggets, vegan fish sauce and fish cakes. Maxavor ® Fish YE is also Kosher and Halal certified and suitable for several label claims.

Plant-based fish alternatives are emerging as an appealing option for the rising numbers of people adopting flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. For example, 28% of consumers across nine countries in Europe reported that they regularly consume fish alternatives. Plant-based fish alternatives also present a more sustainable option for food manufacturers who are looking for ways to address growing concerns over the world’s diminishing fish resources – 33% of fish stocks are currently over-fished. However, it can be a challenge for food producers to develop authentic-tasting, sustainable and label-friendly plant-based fish alternatives. Most commercially available seafood flavours require the processing of fish/crustaceans, or are unable to meet Kosher or Halal needs.

Maxavor ® Fish YE flavour was designed to help producers create a broad range of product positionings and mask the strong flavours typically imparted by plant-based proteins. Added during the blending of dry ingredients, Maxavor ® Fish YE is also low in salt, enabling producers to tailor sodium levels and achieve the desired taste and texture, without compromising a product’s nutritional profile.

Formula Foods

Be bold with your flavours Priding itself on supplying natural, New Zealand-made “from scratch” flavours, Formula Foods has a rich history spanning three decades.

Formula Foods Corporation Ltd commenced trading in 1987 in Christchurch. During the 1990’s the business expanded into supplying a range of technical services, consultancy, ingredient labelling, shelf life improvement, then flavour and ingredient supply and also instrumentation.

Techniques were developed to accelerate the ageing of food products through controlled-atmosphere chambers. Real-time shelf-life was compared against the accelerated trials of many different food products to determine methods to verify shelf life faster for clients wanting to launch new products quickly. This area is now covered by Mätt Solutions – launched in 2012 out of Formula Foods

Formula Foods has now refocussed on its flavour house business, concentrating on flavour development and ingredients designed for specific clients’ projects. R&D is now focused on formulation of flavours and ingredients, with a large flavour laboratory and separate development lab. Formula Foods has been at the forefront of traditional Kiwi favourites, offering our customers a wide range of customised flavours and colours, including unique FLAVRCOL pastes used in the baking industry, providing enhanced taste and consistency without preservatives.

Due to Covid impacting internationally on both manufacturing and freight, FF has been building up stocks of raw materials to enable flavour manufacture to proceed during this very difficult time. Previously carrying 6 months stock of raw materials, it has now become imperative to carry 12 months+ to ensure clients' requirements are well covered. Many businesses are forecasting their needs up to 12 months in advance which is a great help, but may New Zealand business do not plan their orders very far ahead which puts pressure on resources.

With almost 33 years serving the food industry, we endeavour to partner with our clients in order to fully understand and supply their needs. As a New Zealand owned business, we are flexible and therefore able to supply small minimum order quantities - usually from 1kg. The added bonus is that we offer short lead times which have proven beneficial to many kiwi companies. www.formulafoods.co.nz

Create inspirational snacks with plant-based EXBERRY ® reds

This year, red is fuelling innovation in food and drink – and snacks are no exception. Red is a colour of contradictions that can spark energy, excitement and passion, helping manufacturers tap into some of the industry’s biggest trends. It can inspire active consumers through products such as pressed energy balls and bars featuring superfood ingredients like beetroot, cherries or goji berries.

Red also plays a signature role in some of the world’s most spectacular food and drink and can help to underline these products’ exotic appeal. Berbere, for instance, is a West African red spice mix that could be added to snacks such as popcorn to create the kind of innovative combination that excites today’s adventurous consumers.

Red can also be used to add a fun twist to classic treats such as cheese puffs, tortilla chips or corn snacks with flavours like ghost chili, red bellini cocktail or tomatoey pizza.

Appearance is key to creating appetizing snack products – and EXBERRY ® Coloring Foods can be used to take them to the next level with vibrant red shades. Based on the straightforward principle of colouring food with food, they are made from edible fruit, vegetables and plants using physical processing methods like chopping and boiling.

Suitable for almost any food and drink application, EXBERRY ® Coloring Foods are the ideal choice for the modern market, delivering Instagrammable shades alongside clean and clear label declarations.
