According to global solutions provider, CP Kelco, consumers today are looking for products that are ‘good for you’ and ‘good for the planet’ too. This includes their favourite indulgent treats like ice cream, where the megatrends of health and sustainability have merged to become ‘healthy indulgences.’ Knowing that consumers may perceive a product with more ingredients listed on the label as less healthy, CP Kelco is happy to introduce a new solution for ice cream manufacturers: NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber, which may help remove up to four commonly used stabilisers on your label. It can help clean up your label without giving up the creamy, indulgent mouthfeel that consumers crave.
NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber can help you develop new hardpack, bar and soft-serve ice cream products by providing an upcycled, recognisable, single ingredient alternative to industry standard blends while maintaining quality, potentially improving melt resistance, increasing firmness and improving costs without impacting the manufacturing process.
As we all know, food waste is big problem in the industry. Upcycling helps to prevent food waste by using discarded food to create another high-quality product. Upcycled from citrus peels, a byproduct of the juice industry, NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber is the first Upcycled Certified® citrus fibre on the market. In ice cream, it also helps to improve melt resistance to combat the fluctuating temperatures of shipping and transit, which can lead to food waste. For more visit cpkelco.com
