New Products Add Flavor, Aroma, Texture, and Color to a Variety of Foods, Including Breads, Cakes, Cookies, and Sweets; Company Also Showcases Organic Ingredients
São Paulo, July 2017 – Concepta Ingredients, a business unit of Sabará Group specializing in natural and technology-driven solutions for the food and beverage industries, is presenting a comprehensive caramel portfolio to the Brazilian market at Food Ingredients South America (FiSA) 2017. The event takes place August 22–24 at Transamérica Expo Center in São Paulo, Brazil.
Developed by French company Nigay, a global partner of Concepta Ingredients, the products are being introduced to Brazil in three distinct lines designed to add flavor, aroma, texture, and color to a variety of foods, including breads, cakes, cookies, and sweets. Visitors can explore all the new products at booth 122 during the trade show.
“FiSA is the leading trade show for the food and beverage industries on the continent, making it an ideal opportunity to present our portfolio to some of the sector’s key players,” says Lilia Kawazoe, Commercial Manager at Concepta Ingredients. “At our booth, visitors can get a closer look at the new caramel lines we are bringing to Brazil, along with other sustainable, organic, and natural solutions available on the market,” she adds.
The first caramel line showcased by the company is Aromatic Caramels, which comprises two types of caramel with natural aromas: 1395 SMA6, in a dark brown color, and 1400 SMA3, in a chestnut brown color. Produced through the controlled caramelization of sugar and available in liquid form, both products are ready to use as caramel syrups, adding caramel flavor and aroma to foods. They are suitable for cookies, liqueurs, sauces, dairy products, sweets, and ice cream.
Caramel Flakes also consists of two products that add flavor and aroma: EN5020, a brown caramel crystal measuring 2–5 mm, and CRKS 24, a 2–5 mm crunchy caramel product that takes on a light brown color through the caramelization of sugar with butter, cream, and salt. The products are made by subjecting sugar and other ingredients to controlled heat treatment. Once solidified, they are broken into pieces and sifted. They can be used in cookies, cakes, chocolate, sweets, breads, dairy products, and ice cream.
Finally, the Caramel Specialties line comprises three ready-to-use products for coatings, fillings, and blends, designed to deliver distinctive flavor and texture to foods: FG 134 AV, a viscous caramel made by caramelizing sugar, coconut oil, and milk, with the aroma, flavor, and color of milk caramel; F 0002, a caramel powder made by caramelizing sugar with cream and butter, with the aroma and flavor of buttery caramel cream; and FB 84, a viscous caramel made by caramelizing sugar, milk, butter, and salt, with the aroma and flavor of buttery caramel. All three products are suitable for use in cereal bars, cookies, cakes, chocolate, sweets, breads, dairy products, and ice cream.
Organic Oils and Butter Also in the Spotlight
In addition to the new caramel lines, Concepta Ingredients is also showcasing recent product launches for the food industry at FiSA 2017, all of them 100% organic: Organic Brazil Nut Oil, produced from the first pressing of carefully selected Brazil nuts to preserve their nutritional and functional properties; Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, extracted from freshly harvested coconuts from the Philippines, a region recognized worldwide for the quality of this type of product; and Organic Cupuaçu Butter, a unique product on the market that brings an exclusive, exotic, and distinctive flavor to dishes.
The raw materials used to produce these ingredients are harvested or collected by local communities in remote regions. For generations, these communities have relied on them as a source of income and a means of keeping the forest standing, while also promoting women’s empowerment and early childhood education.
