Desired outcome
We are looking to identify innovative soluble and insoluble fibers that can be used as bulking agents in various food and snack formats to allow for reduction of sugars, fats and other ingredients to develop great tasting lower sugar or fat products
Details of the Innovation Need
As part of our ongoing efforts to making the right snack for the right moment, we are exploring natural ingredients that can be alternatives to fats and sugars, while maintaining the taste and texture that consumers love
Requirements
- Food appropriate (microbiological & toxins) Can replace sugar providing the same physical end product Non-laxating clean label Kitchen logic They minimally absorb both water and oil and are either less than 30 microns in size or can be milled down to this size Cost similar to sugar (e.g 2-3 times) Naturally occuring materials
Possible solution areas
- Can be extracts or co-products of e.g. agricultural streams Can be compound or composite materials
Discarted solutions
- Commercially available sugars on inert carriers. Fibers that absorb substantially more than their own weight of oil
