Ingredient Functionality Ingredient and Benefits
Acidulants.
Acidulants are used to balance the perception of acid and sweetness, especially in fruit products. They are also used to lower pH to the optimum pH range of stabilisers such as pectins. Citric acid is a natural acidulant that gives a pleasant acid note. Citric acid anhydrous is commonly used when added as a solution. For coatings for confectionery products, we recommend Citric Acid Monohydrate.

Tartaric acid
is also a natural acidulant, but with a slightly more acidic profile than citric acid.

Other less commonly used acidulants are summarised in the Acidulants section.
Bulking agents
In sugar-free and sugar-modified products, bulking agents can play a valuable role in changing the sugar and calorific profile of the confectionery product Maltodextrins can be added as a nutritive bulking agent, with reduced sweetness in the final product.

Polydextrose is a bland bulking agent with virtually no sweetness, and reduced calorific content.
Caramelised Sugars
  Felix Koch Offenbach (FKO) Caramelised Sugars can replace caramel syrups, enhance caramel, coffee and nut flavours and provide natural brown colour in bars.
Colours
  HWA offers a full range of natural and artificial colours for confectionery products from DD Williamson and Phytone.
Gums and hydrocolloids
  HWA can offer a full range of hydrocolloids for bar applications. However the most commonly used hydrocolloids are suitable for high solids systems and include:

· H&F Confectionery Pectins

· Rousselot Gelatine

· Roeper Gum Arabic

Please contact us for more information.
Sweeteners
  Daepyung Rebaten (Rebauside A 97%) is a natural low calorie sweetener extracted from the Stevia plant, which has just been approved for use by ANZFA. It is an excellent sweetener for application in low calorie products.
