Gelatine specialist Gelita is presenting its portfolio of collagen proteins in the context of meeting demand for contemporary food. Varied texture, new delivery systems and approved health aspects are all highlighted as important considerations for new product development.
The company is featuring fortified gums as a key concept. Highlighted as a major trend in the US and growing rapidly in Asian countries, it can be used as an application system for different actives or added vitamins and minerals. Plus the low sugar options are positioned as an effective solution to help confectionery manufacturers keep high vitamin claims.
Protein fortification is also a focus. Gelita is presenting new ways to create everyday foods, such as hot dogs, which not only offer boosted protein content but also reduced total fat. Gelita Collagen Proteins are promoted as an effective way to create new fortified concepts in compliance with EFSA claims such as ‘high in protein’.
