| Ingredient Functionality |
Ingredient and Benefits |
| Acidulants |
| |
When the pH of the system
needs to be controlled,
Lactic Acid is our first choice, due to its
compatibility with dairy systems and flavours.
Glucono delta lactone (GDL) can
also be useful in lowering pH without contributing
excessive tartness to the flavour of the final product. |
| Bulking
agents |
| |
Maltodextrin can
be added as a nutritive bulking agent, with reduced
sweetness in the final product. The use of a small
amount of maltodextrin can improve mouthfeel and “bulk”, without
adding significantly to sweetness.
Polydextrose is
a bland bulking agent with virtually no sweetness,
and reduced calorific content. |
| Colours |
| |
HWA offers a full range
of natural and artificial colours for
yoghurt applications from DD
Williamson and Phytone.
Annatto is commonly used in yoghurt
applications where a light yellow colour is required. Annatto is
classified as a natural colourant, and is very cost
effective. |
| Gums
and hydrocolloids |
| |
Herbstreith
and Fox offers a range of pectins suitable
for yoghurts, including H&F Amid CM020.
This pectin provides good mouthfeel and viscosity,
with minimal syneresis.
Rousselot offers
a range of high grade gelatines suitable
for yoghurts. Gelatine is a unique stabiliser that
gives
good viscosity and mouthfeel, with the added benefit
of “rehealing” when cut, and therefore
with minimal syneresis. |
| Minerals |
| Yoghurt offers an easy
delivery system for minerals for health and well being.
Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are commonly
used to boost product calcium levels. Iron, magnesium
and minc mineral addition are also areas of increased
interest. |
Calcium Carbonate is a fine
powdered material suitable for inclusion in dairy
systems.
Calcium Citrate is
a fine powdered material, with low levels
of aluminium, suited to specialty mineral
applications.
HWA has a wide range of minerals including the main mineral categories
such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and copper.

| Nutraceuticals |
| Yoghurt systems offer a
wonderful opportunity to deliver healthy ingredients. |
Cyanotech Hawaiian
Spirulina is a unique micro-algae,
high in protein, rich in beta carotene, calcium,
iron, vitamin B-12, the rare essential fatty
acid GLA, and phytonutrients. |
| 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.
HWA also
has extensive expertise in the interactions between
artificial flavours, and can provide alternative
sweeteners for diet and low-calorie products. |
