WHEAT BREAD BASE
Pristine Crack 'N Good Wheat
Base from Caravan Ingredients is a
natural, egg-free, cracked wheat base
that produces bread with exceptional
eye appeal and flavor. Part of the
company's Pristine line of clean-label
products, the base enhances uniformity and improves tenderness of
baked bread and rolls. The base yields
dough with increased extensibility and
greater absorption. It suits production with conventional or high-speed
equipment. The finished products
have a darker crumb color than typical wheat products, a crunchy crust
and contain grains that are clearly
visible, contributing to a premium
appearance. Phone (800) 669-4092;

SOLUBLE CORN FIBER
PROMITOR Soluble Corn Fiber 85
from Tate & Lyle contains 85% fiber
and only 1.2 Cal per g. It can be used in
sugar-free and no-sugar-added products while providing the opportunity
for an "excellent source" claim for fiber.
Available in liquid and dry forms, the
fiber's applications include cookies, cereals, bars, snacks, confections, baked
foods and, as shown here, pizza crust.
It is well tolerated by the body without
causing gastrointestinal discomfort.
Acting as a humectant, it maintains
stable water activity without crystallizing, ensuring that texture remains
the same. Phone (800) 526-5728;

FIBER FROM GUMS
In addition to improving the texture, look and feel of foods, gums can
be a source of dietary fiber, according
to TIC Gums. The company noted
that most gums are 80% soluble dietary fiber, providing more soluble
fiber than oats, wheat bran and other
such sources. Medical and nutritional
experts agree that dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, promotes a
healthy cardiovascular system and
helps to maintain blood sugar and
cholesterol levels within normal limits. Soluble fiber has been show to aid
gastrointestinal health, too. The company's Innovation Center on its Web
site provides additional information
about gums and fiber. Phone (800)

CARAMEL COLOR
D.D. Williamson has developed
an acid-proof Class One caramel
color, the darkest caramel color in its
line. The new minimally processed
Caramel Color 520 offers stability
below pH 2.5 and in alcohol up to

SWEETENESS ENHANCER
Cutting high-fructose corn syrup or
sugar from a formulation may diminish the sweet flavor of finished products, so Comax Flavors has developed
a new Sweetness Enhancer for such
applications. A combination of several
unique ingredients improves sweetness reception by stimulating a variety
of taste receptor sites simultaneously.
The enhancer is essentially free of any
color, aroma or aftertaste and is available in liquid and dry forms. In addition to the enhancer, the company
offers other special purpose products
such as Bitter Blocker, Acid Reduction
and Caffeine Mask. Phone (800) 9920629; Web www.comaxflavors.com
