 In response to the increased cost of
using butter in food production and the
need to address the obesity crisis,
manufactures are looking for alternatives
to use to replace butter and bakery fats.
To meet these needs, Ulrick & Short Ltd, a UK
manufacturer of clean label ingredients,
has responded to the growing issues of fat
substitutes by developing Delyte6 - a fat replacer
and
highly functional clean label ingredient.
One of the hardest hit sectors from
increased butter prices has been those
involved in baking because it still
remains a key ingredient in many products.
The matter is further complicated due to
labelling legislation which prevents the
term 'all butter' being used if some of
the butter has been substituted with other
fats.
Specifically designed as a non-fat butter
replacement, Delyte6 cleverly allows food
manufacturers to remove some butter
content from products and still use the
label 'all butter', which highlights to
consumers that the food is still an
indulgent product.
The development of Delyte6 will not only
allow bakeries to use more healthy
ingredients that don't need to be declared
but will also provide significant cost
savings of up to £1000 per ton of butter.
Traditionally, many in the bakery industry
have had difficulties in being able to
match the multifunctional characteristics
of fat with substitutions. However,
Delyte6 is the ideal easy to use fat
replacement for a wide range of baked
goods including cakes, biscuits, muffins,
breads and pastries.
The ingredient is added dry to the product
mix and increases process tolerance
through increased water binding. It also
improves overall succulence and shelf life
of food products leading to less waste and
an overall reduction in production costs.
Commenting Ulrick & Short's joint managing
director Adrian Short said: "Delyte 6 is
an exciting addition to the company's
range and opens up many more possibilities
for those in the bakery industry. It
represents a totally new solution and
enables bakeries to reduce or replace
butters without the need to declare any
additional ingredients because Delyte6 is
a clean label product, creating a
'win-win' situation for all concerned."
Ulrick & Short are backing up the new
product with technical advice and where
appropriate on-site support.
