Desserts
Gelatine has traditionally been a key ingredient in many dessert applications, prized for it’s ability to thicken and set liquids, resulting in smooth and stable textures.
In recent years, hydrocolloids have gained popularity for use in plant-based formulations, as they provide the same thickening and gelling properties while catering to the growing demand for plant-based options. We supply a diverse range of ingredients designed to meet the needs of various end applications, including fruit jelly fillings, creamy cheesecake fillings, plant-based mousse and fruit preparations; ensuring high quality results in each product.
Our range of carrageenans is specifically formulated to create luxurious, creamy textures, enhance pumpability, and deliver excellent flavour release, making them ideal for a variety of dessert and food products. In addition to our standard offerings, we also provide bespoke blends, carefully crafted to meet the specific requirements of unique applications and recipes, helping you achieve the perfect texture and consistency for your products.
Uses of Gelatines and Hydrocolloids in Dessert Production:
- Improved Texture and Consistency: Hydrocolloids contribute to achieving creamy, stable textures in desserts. These ingredients help create the desired mouthfeel, which is a key factor in consumer satisfaction.
- Stability and Shelf Life: Desserts maintain their structure and separation is prevented, even when stored for extended periods.
- Plant-Based Alternatives: Allow for the development of plant-based desserts that mimic traditional dairy and gelatine -based products. This opens up new market opportunities for catering to vegans, vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions.
- Customisable Solutions: The availability of bespoke blends means ingredients can be tailored to suit specific recipes and desired outcomes. This flexibility allows for product differentiation in a competitive market.
- Flavour Release, Ease of Processing and Dietary Considerations: Hydrocolloids improve flavour release, ensuring full taste enjoyment with every bite. They also enhance processing efficiency, boosting pumpability and ease of handling while maintaining product quality. Naturally derived, these ingredients can cater to dietary needs like gluten-free, low-calorie and allergen free, helping brands appeal to health conscious consumers.
