Particular advantages seen in Pound Cakes, Flat breads, Doughnuts and Gluten Free bread. 

 

 

Features

• Cost savings-improves yield
• Binds and maintains water and oil in formulations
• Water Management/control
• Reduce moisture migration and loss
• Reduce syneresis. Syneresis is the separation of a liquid from a gel caused be contraction. – eg drying

 Improves Texture:

• Moister, softer, better texture –even after freeze/thaw process
• Baked product stability & Integrity
• Extends shelf life

Other benefits:

• Replaces fat while maintaining/improving taste and mouthfeel
• Partially replaces gums, binders, emulsifiers and preservatives
• Adds fibre and nutrients
• Reduces calories
• Lowers GI
• Clean label

Proteins

The inclusion of Sugarcane Fibre™ in trials has delivered a range of benefits and cost savings.

Water Management Control

• Retains more moisture than other fibres/fillers at cooked stage
• Reduce moisture migration and loss at the chilled/freezer
• Reduce syneresis, purge at defrost stage

Texture Benefit

• Juicier product retains moisture longer, better texture even after sitting and throughout freeze/thaw
• Cooking stability and integrity
• Cost savings as, under same preparation, end product retains more moisture while having lower water activity
• Initial work suggests end customer preference for the mouthfeel of the final product with Sugarcane Fibre™ inclusion
• Clean label
• No E numbers 

Healthier Products

Today there is more scrutiny on labels and customers demanding healthier products.

Sugarcane Fibre™ inclusion has the ability for many snacks and other products to make fibre and potentially other health claims as well as “cleaning up” the label.

Examples:

• Lowers the GI load with a 3.5g inclusion
• Improves fibre content
• Natural source of antioxidants
• Aids Digestive health
• Aids satiety
• Weight loss
