Reformulating Everyday Products
by Donald E. Pszczola
Several food and beverage prototypes are unveiled by ADM, Booth 4877, that demonstrate how the company’s ingredients, ranging from functional oils to indulgent chocolate products to bean powders, can be used to provide benefits in the formulation. Because of their functionality and better-for-you properties, these ingredients can help reformulate everyday products from a diverse range of categories.
An indulgent, Gluten-free Brownie is made with sorghum flour and Vegefull bean powder as a replacement for wheat flour. The use of DeZaan cocoa and Ambrosia chocolate adds a rich indulgence to this treat.
Nacho Chips & Cheese are made with NuSun sunflower frying oil and Vegefull bean powder, while the cheese sauce features ingredients such as interesterified soybean oil and NutriSoy isolated soy protein.
A tropical drink that is suitable as an on-the-go meal, Pina Colada Meal Replacement Beverage, contains CardioAid plant sterols, Fibersol-2 dietary soluble fiber, Novasoy soy isoflavones, and NutriSoy isolated soy proteins. Fibersol is also highlighted in such prototypes as a vanilla ice cream chocolate chip cookie sandwich and individual single-serving beverage mixes in orange, lime, and pina colada flavors. This slow-fermentation soluble fiber ingredient, developed by Matsutani LLC, is tasteless, improve body/texture, and offers masking properties while providing superior digestive tolerance.
A snack bar, Chocolate Mint Crisp Bar, features DeZaan cocoa, NutriSoy high-protein crisps, NuSun sunflower oil, CardioAid plant sterols, and high fructose corn syrup.
Chocolate-coated popcorn provides a snack that is ideal for those craving something sweet and delectable. The product is popped with a high-oleic canola and palm oil blend and drizzled with chocolate coatings.
Representatives from the company are on hand to discuss these prototypes in detail and distribute literature.
