Zest to Express
Treatt plc has launched CitreattTM Expressed Key Lime
4164, the latest addition to the Citreatt range of natural FTNF (from the
named food) concentrated and terpeneless citrus oils. The fresh, authentic
notes of Citreatt Expressed Key Lime 4164 enable perfumers and flavorists
to capture the true character of key limes. Derived from the peel oil of
key limes, Citreatt Expressed Key Lime provides a fruity, tangy lime flavor
while retaining some of the creamy, juicy accents of the fresh fruit. The
enhanced solubility of Citreatt Expressed Key Lime means it is particularly
suitable for essence and beverage manufacture. Produced using a
low-temperature, solvent-extraction technique, Citreatt citrus oils retain
the volatile and non-volatile flavor components which may be lost during
concentration by traditional methods. The result is a product with a
rounder, smoother flavor profile. Other products in the range include
orange, lemon, grapefruit, distilled key lime plus expressed lime,
available in various concentrations.

Hi-maize 5-in-1 Fiber Brochure
A new brochure for Hi-maize 5-in-1 Fiber, the natural
resistant starch with five proven health benefits, is available from
National Starch Food Innovation. The brochure provides details on the five
benefits delivered by Hi-maize 5-in-1 Fiber: weight management, glycemic
management, energy management, digestive health and high tolerance. The new
brochure also highlights the advantages of Hi-maize 5-in-1 Fiber in
processing and manufacturing. Hi-maize holds less water than other
insoluble fibers, which results in easier ingredient mixing and higher
productivity. Hi-maize can easily be incorporated into foods without
impacting taste or texture and helps food manufacturers meet consumer needs
by raising fiber content without changing the flavors and textures that
consumers expect from the foods they enjoy.

DHA in Yogurt
Spanish company Priégola has launched Simbi +
Omega-3 yogurt with Martek DHA. Now available in major supermarket chains
throughout Spain, the yogurt is being marketed to children and adults for
its brain health benefits. Martek DHA is an all-natural vegetarian
source of docosahexaenoic acid, the key omega-3
fatty acid for brain development and function. Studies show that people of
all ages may benefit from an adequate supply of DHA in the diet. Natural
food sources of DHA are limited primarily to fatty fish, making it
difficult for many people to get enough DHA in their diets.
