Glucono delta lactone (GDL) 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.
Lactic Acid   Glucono delta lactone (GDL) can also be useful in lowering pH without contributing excessive tartness to the flavour of the final product.
Oleoresins Aromatics Hawkins Watts Australia has a full range of oleoresins including paprika, black pepper, ginger, celery, garlic and many more.
Please contact us for more information.
Maltodextrin 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   Polydextrose is a bland bulking agent with virtually no sweetness, and reduced calorific content.
Natural Colours, Artificial Colours Colour Hawkins Watts Australia 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.
Flavours Flavour Dairy flavours, such as creams and butters, can help to add richness and mouthfeel. While vanilla flavours, “brown” flavours (chocolate, caramel, coffee) and fruit flavours, can add interest and complexity.
Gelatine Gums, hydrocolloids, thickeners, stabilisers 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.
Pectin   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.
Propylene Glycol Alginate (PGA)   Propylene Glycol Alginate (PGA) can be used to replace starch and gelatine in low fat and sugar free yoghurt. It can be added to the milk before fermentation and will impart a creamier texture, improved sheen and eliminate syneresis.

We recommend PGA from FMC BioPolymer. Please contact FMC BioPolymer directly: www.fmcbiopolymer.com.
Stabiliser blends   Stabiliser blends, with or without gelatine, can be used to improve body and mouthfeel, and prevent syneresis.
Calcium carbonate, Calcium citrate 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 mineral addition are also areas of increased interest.

Hawkins Watts Australia has a wide range of minerals including the main mineral categories such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and copper.
Plant sterols Nutraceuticals

Yoghurt systems offer a wonderful opportunity to deliver healthy ingredients.
Plant sterols are based on Soy sterols, and when absorbed by the body will help block the amount of cholesterol absorbed, ultimately lowering the blood cholesterol levels.
Spirulina   Hawaiian Spirulina from Cyanotech 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.
Dextrose Sweeteners Dextrose monohydrate is a powdered sweetener that can be used instead of sucrose, to increase solids without dramatically affecting sweetness.
Fructose   Fructose is a crystalline sweetener with 1.2 to 1.6 times the sweetness of sucrose. Fructose can be used in products where sweetness profile and glucose content need to controlled.

Fructose also has a low glycaemic index and will help reduce the water activity of products.
Stevia   Stevia from Daepyung is a natural high-intensity sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the Stevia plant with applications in low-sugar formulations.
