The lockdown has pushed consumers to reproduce their outside experiences at home. Having more time, or worrying about food shortage, consumers have applied themselves to learn new skills and to get closer to self-sufficiency. It has given brands the challenge to reinvent their offer and to adapt to the at-home consumers.
Instant desserts have become an option to provide a moment of escape and pleasure to consumers. As an indulgence-driven category, brands need to maintain consumer interest by innovating with contrasting textures that can bring extra sensory experiences and enhance the eating experience. At the same time, having the challenge to fulfil the needs of health conscious-consumers by developing low sugar or low-calorie dessert without compromising the organoleptic profile.
In this context Gelymar offer a complete product range that give manufacturers the possibility to reduce sugar and fat content while enhancing texture to engage the senses and deliver share worthy experiences to consumers.
Carra™Lact DFL; Carra™Lact DDE and Carra™Lact PPD are carrageenan-based solutions specially designed to improve texture and stability of desserts. They can be used across dessert categories to create new products and provide new experiences.
The combination of the four carrageenan extracts; Kappa I, Kappa II, Iota and Lambda allows Gelymar to create the most complete product line that covers the needs a creamy dessert might need. The use of Iota carrageenan along with Kappa II is the key in terms of consistency and creaminess. Another advantage of using a carrageenan based system is that it does not interfere in the final flavour delivering a clean taste.
Depending on the desired textural profile (liquid creamy dessert o pudding type dessert) the level of use can be adjusted giving the freedom to cover a wide spectrum of texture by only using one product if desired.
If you are having the challenge to create a dessert with a differentiated texture or enhance an existing product, Gelymar has the right product portfolio and expertise to support your needs.
