Corbion Innovates To Keep Pace with “Clean Label” Consumer Needs

31 May 2017 --- In applications ranging from bakery, confectionery, dairy, beverages and meats, Corbion is launching a range of ingredient solutions including a powder solution for uncured meats which delivers superior Listeria control and shelf life as well as a new emulsifier portfolio for sweet bakery applications.

Corbion is highlighting new solutions that help deliver on consumer and manufacturer expectations in an array of product application areas.

They include the launch of Verdad Opti Powder N70 for uncured meats which is the company's newest Verdad product, its strongest antimicrobial, delivering superior Listeria control and shelf life in an easy-to-use powder format. Offering 35% less sodium and clean and natural labeling options, the solution helps processors appeal to more health-conscious consumers.

SweetPro is a newly launched Corbion emulsifier portfolio delivering “outstanding” aeration, emulsion stability and moisture retention in sweet bakery applications for greater product consistency, better performance and easy handling.

“Consumers expect a delicious, indulgent experience when consuming sweet baked goods,” Jim Robertson, Corbion Category Manager, tells FoodIngredientsFirst.

“In addition to launching SweetProTM at IFT17, Corbion will also be introducing a line of clean-label cake mixes to help bakers meet the demands for clean and simple products that taste good.”

On top of this, there is the introduction of the newly upgraded Corbion Listeria Control Model, a tool designed to help processors predict Listeria growth in processed foods while saving R&D costs and increasing speed to market.

There are also clean-label solutions for preserving chilled salads, providing an effective, natural alternative to sorbate and benzoate.

The use of PURAC Powder MA in soft, chewy candies, enabling the creation of stable, homogeneous chewy products with an instant sour flavor release and excellent flavor stability.

The new solutions will be part of the company’s showcase at the forthcoming IFT17 Annual Food Meeting and Expo.

“Corbion solutions focus on that place where consumer wants and manufacturer needs align,” said Ruud Peerbooms, Senior Vice President, Food. “When we help our customers deliver fresh, safe, delicious foods that make the consumer happy every time, we're also helping them build consumer loyalty and reduce waste-associated costs. There is an incredible degree of knowledge, experience and dedication that goes into making that possible, and we're excited to share it with IFT17 attendees.”

Corbion experts will also be available to discuss manufacturing and formulation challenges and how the company's solutions can help achieve specific product goals and, ultimately, success in the market.
