Jahncke Group is marking a double celebration – the European launch of two new Paradise Fruits products, as well as 130 years of fruit processing and ingredient innovation.
Success in America and rocketing demand is behind the launch of Fruit Juice Drops from Paradise Fruits and the opening of an additional production line at its facility in northern Germany.
Containing up to 80% fruit, the new ingredient is made from fruit purees and juices using a low temperature concentration process. It is available in three sizes and a host of flavours including strawberry, lemon, raspberry, apple, acai, banana and blueberry. As inclusions or decorations in bakery, chocolate, snack and cereal bar applications, Fruit Juice Drops create a soft, jammy fruit spot with an intense, fresh and natural fruit flavour. They can also be eaten as a snack or enrobed with chocolate or yoghurt coatings to create indulgent treats.
The introduction of Smoothie Bites by Paradise Fruits – Freeze Dried enhances its range of premium freeze dried fruit and speciality items. With all natural ingredients and up to 99% fruit, the fruit shapes are made from blends of fruit and yoghurts (with or without sugar) which are combined and dried using state-of-the-art freeze-drying technology.
“These latest innovations are the most significant new product introductions the company has launched in recent years. Booming consumer demand for exciting fruit ingredients and snacks, and our customers’ ongoing search for outstanding quality and service were the drivers behind our extended European production base. The new capability will help us meet and exceed expectations for years to come,” said Kurt Jahncke, CEO.
“To be announcing these developments at the same time as our 130th anniversary is an incredibly positive time for our business,” said Jahncke. “We are delighted to mark this special occasion at FiE 2013 and look forward to presenting the company in a fresh way that reflects our tradition of innovation and commitment to developing high quality fruit solutions for our customers for the future.”
