“Better-For-You” indulgence trend with natural flavour solutions in Bakery
The “better-for-you” indulgence trend presents a unique technical challenge for bakery flavour solutions. Consumers desire the sensory satisfaction of traditional treats while seeking reduced sugar, fat, or calorie content and increased nutritional value.
Tasty & Healthy
Replacing sugar impacts not only sweetness but also texture, moisture retention and browning. Natural flavours can compensate for the loss of sweetness and contribute to perceived richness but must be carefully balanced to avoid off-notes.
Natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit often have distinct flavour profiles that can interact with other ingredients. Flavour masking and modulation are essential to maintain a harmonious taste.
Fat contributes significantly to mouthfeel and flavour release. Reducing fat can result in dry, less satisfying textures. Natural flavours, particularly oleoresins and extracts, can provide concentrated flavour that compensates for the loss of fat-derived richness.
Emulsion technology is very important to ensure even flavour distribution when fat content is low.
Incorporating ingredients like fruits, vegetables and superfoods can introduce undesirable flavours or impact texture. Natural flavour solutions can enhance the desired notes and mask any off-flavours.
Plant-Ex offers a range of fruit and vegetable powders which can be harmoniously paired with our top note flavour solutions.
By leveraging our expertise in natural flavour solutions, bakery manufacturers can create “better-for-you” indulgences that meet consumer demands without sacrificing taste or quality.
We use state-of-the-art Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) technology to match existing flavour samples for our clients. This not only enables us to provide cost-effective alternatives and backups for supply chain security, but also means we can remove unwanted ingredients such as palm or preservatives, and replace them with natural and more appealing alternatives.
