MECHELEN, BELGIUM: Cargill has introduced a newly developed texturizing solution that will enable European confectionery manufacturers to achieve optimal texture and transparency while reducing drying time by up to 50 percent for their gelatin-free wine gum applications.
The new Cargill product - C*Clearset 35426 - is a unique blend of speciality starches for gelatin-free sugar confectionery applications with outstanding functionality. It offers a softer texture with excellent flavour release, optimal transparency and facilitates up to 50 percent reduction in drying time compared to a single starch base. This introduction boosts the variety of possibilities to design nutritious, convenient and tasty foods to satisfy consumers.
C*Clearset 35426 starch was developed by Cargill’s technical experts to improve the processing of gelatin-free, starch-based wine gums without compromising on taste. Offering up to 50 percent reduction in drying time without the need for additional capex investment, it enables increased output with a higher top-line growth.
With extensive application knowledge, state-of-the-art technology and a broad portfolio, customers can benefit from a comprehensive range of products to suit their texturizing needs.
C*Clearset 35426, is part of Cargill’s industry-leading portfolio of texturizers and emulsifiers which include a vast range of starches, lecithins, seaweeds, fruit extracts and sugar fermentation solutions. Coupled with our global technical and research and development skills, we help our customers to design nutritious, convenient and tasty foods to satisfy consumers.
“During research, specific speciality starch products were identified as containing properties that would enhance confectionery applications. Extensive application testing in our pilot process facility provided a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by our customers and enabled C*Clearset 35426 starch to be tailored, in partnership, to their process flow,” said Jan Delobel, senior confectionery application specialist.
“When it comes to taste perception, texture is key. In Europe, gummy and jelly product launches with a texture-related claim have doubled in the past five years. The appeal for vegan products is expanding across all categories beyond those who avoid animal products for ethical reasons. To cater to the need of this growing consumer base, gelatin use in gummies and jellies is being progressively phased out, with ‘gelatin-free’ increasingly highlighted on product packaging,” said Laura Goodbrand, EMEA starch product manager for Cargill starches, sweeteners & texturizers.
“C*Clearset 35426 starch is the latest addition to our confectionery starch portfolio which also includes; pectin with the Unipectine PG series, and carrageenans with the Satiagel PG series,” concluded Lionel Gilet, EMEA technical support manager for Cargill starches, sweeteners & texturizers.
