11 Alternative flours all the rage

Let your imagination run riot

A

taste for international flavours is bringing flours made from ancient grains to the bakery. There are also some rising stars in the mix such as fruit and vegetable flours. These include new variants like cauliflower, coconut and banana in addition to the traditional variety of nut and seed blends. Super flours offer more fibre and protein to baked goods. Finding ways to incorporate ingredients like acai berries, coconut, cacao, and other superfoods can mean a financial boon for your bakery.

Flour isn’t the only area where baking opportunities are growing. Bakers can now look beyond the standard sweeteners of sugar, stevia, maple syrup, and honey and explore other sources like pomegranate, monk fruit, dates, and coconut. For those looking for an alternative to the richness of molasses or honey, starch-based syrups from sorghum or sweet potato may be the answer.

Additional trends to look out for include products like popular dessert hybrids. New combinations include brookies (brownies and cookies) to croissant and doughnut hybrids the possibilities are endless, so start playing!

Plant-based proteins are finding their way into everything these days. The vegan market is not the only target with these ingredients.

Offering sweet and savoury baked goods that are also rich in protein can put your offerings in front of an entirely new market. Bakeries have become extremely creative with their pastries and other sweet treats over the years while leaning on the traditional side of their breads and biscuits.

Adding a touch of smokey or savoury flavour to these items will create a unique profile that may appeal to a large niche audience.

Happy baking,

N E WS Sustainability Champion at last year’s Food Palsgaard expands footprint with acquisition Ingredients Europe Innovation Awards. of Turkish distributor DuPont launches The Danish emulsifier ingredients supplier PowerBake for clean acquired 90% of the company’s shares in label products February with Teknaroma’s previous owners retaining 10%.

The deal reinforces a long-standing relationship between the two parties.

Teknaroma had exclusive distribution rights to Palsgaard products on the Turkish market since 1997.

Palsgaard will now look to build on its operations in Turkey and the surrounding markets. It will focus on offering highquality products supported by a local application centre and the companies’ combined technical expertise. Teknaroma managing partner Cengiz Altop became managing director of Palsgaard Teknaroma.

Jakob Thøisen, CEO of Palsgaard, says, “Teknaroma has successfully represented Palsgaard in the Turkish market for more than 20 years. Adding the business to the global Palsgaard family will offer significant advantages to all parties.”

Palsgaard, often referred to as the inventor of the modern plant-based food emulsifier, has plans to expand Teknaroma’s existing application facilities in Turkey.

The facilities will cover chocolate and other categories, including bakery and dairy.

Altop explains, “We will become part of the global Palsgaard operation and gain access to its vast resources. This will make it possible for us to expand our activities in the Turkish market and beyond, allowing us to achieve new levels of success. Teknaroma will also become the application centre for the area, which will enable us to strengthen our partnerships with important customers.”

The purchase of Teknaroma means Palsgaard has seen its global headcount rise to 572 across 17 countries. It also now has subsidiary sales offices in 14 countries.

Palsgaard, which celebrated its centenary in 2019, recently became the first emulsifier ingredients company to achieve carbonneutral production and was named

DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences (DuPont) has

Powerbake is a unique emulsification solution that allows improver houses and bakeries to meet consumer demand for clean label products

announced the launch of its PowerBake 6000 and 7000 enzyme series specially developed for European recipes. The enzymes offer improver houses and bakeries an emulsification solution that preserves the taste and quality of white bread and buns while meeting customer demands for clean labels.

The solution is complementary to the broader range of DuPont Danisco ingredients for the baking industry, including traditional emulsification technologies.

The new series was formulated to create an optimised, cleaner label product while maintaining quality. The enzymes show an improvement on volume by 5% to 15% and initial softness by 10% to 25%, with zero compromise on crumb structure or shock tolerance when compared with traditional emulsification solutions or existing clean label options on the market. The enzyme solution is based on DuPont’s new lipase, specifically developed for its role in emulsification and its benefits for crumb structure and dough strengthening. It enables the replacement of mono- and diglycerides while maintaining product quality.

PowerBake 7000 series is a DuPont oxidative module developed to ensure the best possible performance in white bread and buns.

series, it enables the replacement of monoand diglycerides + SSL or DATEM.

Focus shifts to quality in growing whey permeate market Quality is vital in the rapidly growing whey permeate market, says Arla Foods Ingredients.

Whey permeate is a milk solid with around 80% lactose content. As a bulking agent, it is a highly cost-effective replacement for skimmed milk powder, lactose and sweet whey powder. The ingredient’s potential in food applications was long untapped. Improved filtration technology has allowed the creation of high-quality permeate. In 2017, powdered permeate received a Codex Alimentarius international standard, helping raise its profile and establish trust. Permeate is increasingly used by multinational brands, particularly in categories such as chocolate and biscuits, but also in hot drinks, dairy and desserts.

Innova figures show that the number of new products containing whey permeate has more than doubled in the past five years, growing from 169 in 2015 to 387 in 2019. Arla Foods Ingredients believes that the Codex standard and increasing demand will lead to a market where quality factors such as mineral profile and microbiological requirements are as important as cost-effectiveness.

Whey is very effective as a replacement for skimmed milk powder

Consumers still sweet on indulgent treats The rise of veganism and the growing popularity of plant-based and clean-tasting foods are giving consumers more lifestyle choices.

There is increasing evidence that many are unwilling to give up on their indulgent treats, per inclusion specialist Pecan Deluxe Candy.

Although the public wants the food industry to make food healthier (the drive for free-from and plant-based foods are a testament to that), people still have a sweet

N E WS

tooth for traditionally indulgent items like baked goods, premium desserts and biscuits.

Demand is also growing from manufacturers for more innovative flavour inclusions.

The growing choice of guilt-free sweet snacks and desserts is changing the landscape for health-conscious and price-sensitive consumers, with significant success in reducing sugar content in some branded products. The implication could be drawn that there will still be a market for traditionally sweet foodstuffs.

Baked goods, as an impulse buy, take home or artisanal, and even as a snack, are growing in popularity in the UK with 33% of people snacking on bakery products in place of a main meal, per a survey conducted by FMCG Gurus. Research also indicated that the top three sweet flavours are vanilla, chocolate and caramel, with ring doughnuts crowned the most popular sweet baked product.

Graham Kingston, Pecan Deluxe EMEA managing director, believes in offering a diverse range of options for all foods.

The company can supply plant-based inclusions which may be suitable for veganfriendly applications.

He explains, “Adventurous consumers may want to break the habit of gorging on unhealthy snacks but they also seem reluctant to give up their indulgent treats. This is helping to drive demand for bakery and other sweet snacks as well as luxury desserts. We are introducing innovative inclusions all the time across multiple applications to cater for trending flavour combinations.”

Whether satisfying new snacking habits or moments of indulgence, more variations

Loryma supplies wheat proteins, wheat starches and functional blends for multiple, future-proof applications

are being added to the menu mix to cater for consumer tastes in both local and globalised dishes, wanting exotic flavours from afar but also the taste of home in restaurants and quick service chains.

Pecan Deluxe products are made using natural colours and flavourings in strict allergen-controlled, BRC A-grade facilities.

The company is constantly innovating to develop new flavours and textures and can create bespoke products to customers’ specifications.

Sustainable, wheatbased solutions With a growing world population, demand for protein is continually rising.

A combination of ecological and ethical concerns means consumers are seeking vegan sources. To improve the texture and taste with the nutritional value of vegetarian and vegan alternatives, Lory Tex textured wheat proteins are the obvious choice. Neutral in odour and flavour,

plant-based protein enrichment with Lory Tex is highly flexible: several forms and colours are available for use in a variety of food concepts. As part of the company’s functional blends portfolio, Lory Bake Cereal Binder and Lory Bake Muffin HP allow for the creation of snacks that are high in protein and fibre, yet low in sugar. To round up the base portfolio, Loryma features Lory Starch native and modified wheat starches for the enhancement of bakery, confectionery and convenience products. The company’s range of functional blends enables improved coatings, breading, stability and texture of numerous finished products.

Henrik Hetzer, managing director of Loryma, concludes, “Forward-looking concepts that comprise advantages in processing while also addressing current consumer demand are urgently needed.

Our most important guiding principle is to develop high-quality raw materials that support industry and, additionally, offer optimised dietary impact while being sustainably produced.” BR

ith roots back in 1945, the company was founded by the Heinrich family - well-known local entrepreneurs. They initially produced malt and production equipment for the sorghum beer industry. The company has been at its present site at Industria, Johannesburg, South Africa since 1951.

In the mid-1980s the Heinrich family sold the business to Tiger Brands, a large food producer. The facility was then sold to current owners, the Carroll family, in 2000.

Quality production processes To produce malt extract syrup and malt extract powder, the company uses 100% barley, which features no additives or preservatives. Barley is sourced locally and grown in the Western and Eastern Cape regions of South Africa. Mainly a winter crop, the grain has successfully been

produced in irrigated areas around the Northern Cape region.

The raw material for flour and meal are sourced locally apart from rice grain, which is imported from various countries.

The process undertaken at Industria is largely automated and includes a plant to manufacture malt extract syrup, a spraydryer to manufacture malt extract powder and mills to mill various speciality flours.

Process controls are monitored in-line and by analysis in the laboratory. The food safety system is compliant to the GFSI certification, FSSC22000. Products are Halaal- and Koshercertified. Cereal & Malt holds a SMETA 4 PILLAR requirement certification and is a custodian member of SAAFoST.

Technology on the up The facility adopts best practices where possible and keeps abreast of technology and technological developments. Several plant upgrades and increases in capacity have taken place in the last 20 years, which includes the following: • Meura mash filter; • Storage capacity for barley grain; • A drum dryer to manage by-products effectively; • Automated evaporation cycle; • The automation and increase of malting facilities allow for better quality malting.

A new custom-design milling facility was added to allow for the separation

of allergens while increased warehouse storage capacity through the addition of racking allows improved stock holding. The most recent addition is an upgrade to the spray-drying facility with a state-of-theart spray dryer.

“The process undertaken at Industria is largely automated and includes a plant to manufacture malt extract syrup, a spray-dryer to manufacture malt extract powder and mills to mill various speciality flours” On the horizon Inulin - a natural soluble dietary fibre from the roots of the chicory plant. Inulin has proven health benefits as a replacement of sugar. Inulin is a natural prebiotic and aids in weight management. There is currently no other inulin manufacturer in South Africa. The target market for inulin is the health and pharmaceutical industry.

Dark malt extract - Like malt extract syrup but made from roasted malted barley that adds colour and flavour to food and beverage products. Is commonly used to replace caramel in the food and beverage industry. BR Cereal & Malt – www.cerealandmalt.com

Artesa chickpea flour has been developed to bring pulse flours mainstream – by addressing the issues of taste, texture, mouthfeel and in-product functionality.

Every aspect of ingredient development, from the sourcing and selection of chickpeas to the manufacturing of this flour has been reimagined in a drive to give you a tool to create great-tasting, nutritious food and beverage products.

ROHA

Colour is an innovation game Consumer requirements for clean labels show no signs of slowing down. To tackle the drive towards vegetarian and vegan food product options, colour manufacturers must constantly innovate.

I

nternational colours and ingredients manufacturer Roha aims to provide highly stable and economical solutions to food producers based on a variety of raw materials. A key market shift is a move from the use of carmine. This colour is obtained from the scale beetle cochineal and is not vegetarian or vegan compliant.

This is no easy task. Carmine is highly stable and provides an intense pink to red shade across a multitude of applications.

One potential replacer for carmine comes from red beet, which suffers from heat instability. The colour can fade completely in a short space of time with temperatures above 60°C.

12  BAKERYREVIEW MARCH 2020

Some anthocyanin-based products can also give the required shade, but there are strict pH limitations and heat stability to consider. To combat this, Roha developed Natracol Cerise, a high-strength

red beet-based food colour capable of handling high temperatures for the bakery and prepared food industry. This natural colour works well in products like red velvet cake, giving dark red shades. An excellent replacement for carmine or synthetic pinks/ reds, Natracol Cerise answers consumer requirements for clean label natural colours while maintaining the required shelf life.

Although only available in a powder format, Natracol Cerise is extremely water-soluble for dilution if required.

In terms of other shades, Roha has several new product developments with notable stability based on a variety of raw materials. Yellow is a key colour in bakery

ROHA

and Roha has developed multiple products depending on the labelling requirement.

Natracol Bright Yellow (e100 labelling) is a high-strength, encapsulated curcuminbased product with an excellent cost in use and low dosage offering bright yellow shades. For an E number-free option, Futurals Pro Bright Yellow (curcumin extract) is the go-to product. It offers excellent stability to heat and light while maintaining the intense yellow shades at a slightly higher dosage.

For those who require beta carotenebased products, Natracol Vibra Yellow provides the required labelling (natural identical or fungal beta carotene). It is available in shades from yellow to orange depending on the dosage. It can also be provided in a liquid or powder form.

Due to consumer demand, some manufacturers are moving away from caramel e150d. This is owing to potential issues with the production of the colouring material. Other caramel options (e150a-c) do not give the intensity or shade required.

Roha has now developed its clean label caramel alternative, Futurals Pro Cinnamon Brown XL derived from apple extract. This product is completely clean label and preservative-free. It offers a golden to dark

brown shade associated with caramel colour and is suitable for bakery applications.

These thoughtful and dynamic innovations are just a few in an impressive portfolio of natural colours and fruit/vegetable juice concentrates from Roha.

“Some anthocyaninbased products can also give the required shade. There are, however, strict pH limitations and heat stability to consider” “As a global company with a local presence, we pride ourselves on working closely with our customers on-site to

troubleshoot colour issues. We can also provide customised solutions to any labelling requirement.

“Roha’s South African site has a variety of application facilities and food industry experts who can assist in offering customised colour solutions or advice if you need to switch from synthetic to natural colours. Our facility is also FSSC22000-certified and has access to all Roha’s global regulatory team for any requirements outside of South Africa.

I can comfortably say that Roha is a onestop shop for your food or beverage colour requirements,” says regional head Africa, Carlos Reis. BR Roha – www.roha.com
