Experience New Heights in Gluten-Free Baking

Lycored’s Plant-Based Color Ingredients Driving Consumer Appeal Global consumption of all plant-based foods is expanding rapidly, including prepared foods designed to look and taste like popularly consumed meat from animals. Although proteins derived from mammals and fish will continue as a leading food choice, many consumers are consciously adding meat-free alternatives to limit their intake from animals.

To entice the growing number of flexitarians, food scientists have been busy perfecting fermented and plantbased meats to mimic their animal counterparts, with flavor and texture taking center stage.

This often means color is one of the last things considered within product development, which is a significant oversight when considering that visual appeal of a product is a vital first impression to consumers. Color creates taste, freshness and authenticity expectations that play a major role in that first step to purchase. Consumers, notes research firm FMCG Gurus, do not want to feel as if they are sacrificing taste to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Attaining color isn’t easy. From a technical manufacturing standpoint, food scientists only have a few choices to color plant-based alternatives naturally:

● Lycopene ● Iron oxide ● Betalains (such as red beet) ● Anthocyanins (such as black carrot) ● Carmine (not suitable for vegan products)

Coloring plant-based meats is complex, because viable ingredients able to clear challenging processing hurdles are limited. Industrial-scale processing of these foods includes partly novel processes that require experience establishing and stabilizing color based on source and product conditions e.g., pH range, high pressure, shearing and interac-

tions with the product matrix.

Real-World Testing Confirms Color Integrity of Lycored Ingredients Lycored’s superstable portfolio of lycopene-based colors are vegan and derived from sustainably sourced tomatoes. The product of extensive R&D, the color ingredients Lycored developed offer authentic color integrity and superior red hue stability.

To help the industry and food scientists understand how lycopenebased color ingredients perform in commercial applications, Lycored put its ingredients through a series of tests.

Lycored’s studies demonstrated: ● In ham slices and sausages, lycopene colorants provided stellar performances relative to stability and authentic hues throughout processing and shelf-life. ● When using the Hunter color L. a. b scale and comparative ∆E values, where ∆E >4 indicates a visible difference, all lycopene-based colors performed well below this threshold in real-time and accelerated shelf-life tests. ● In burgers, Lycored’s ResoluteRuby A helped maintain the true to beef pink shade on the inside and browning on the outside when cooked.

A Better Ingredient Choice for Coloring Plant-Based Meats Plant-based meat alternatives are vying for the top of the vegetarian food chain, but they won’t get there unless ingredients are clean, able to withstand intensive processing, and present realistic hues that stay true from production to consumer. Lycored study data confirms lycopene-based color ingredients have the process and color stability the industry needs to ensure authentic product appeal.

Founded in 1997, the company is family owned and operated with a focus on building relationships with producers, as well as taking a partnership approach with customers. The company takes great pride in the products it carries.

These chunky breadsticks are made using “slow yeast” sourdough, 100% extra virgin olive oil, and other high-

quality ingredients. They are free of any food preservatives, chemical additives, emulsifying agents or GMO components. Instead of being fully machine made, which can overwork the dough and result in a very dense product, i Bibanesi breadsticks are individually stretched by hand, allowing each piece to be extra light and airy. They are then baked at low temperatures to give them the ultimate crunch.
