Consumers want healthier foods. To cater to the demands of modern lifestyles, manufacturers must develop reduced fat, sugar, calorie or salt products.

To appeal to consumers, they need to offer the same sensations as indulgent products. For example, yogurt needs to maintain its rich, glossy surface and satin texture – while still being low in fat.

Additive-free options are also the preferred choice. Homecraft Gold offers a nature-based, clean label route to a healthier profile by reducing reliance on high fat ingredients.

And it’s not all about what you take out. Functional foods are leading growth in the industry. Manufacturers need proven functional ingredients that deliver health benefits in a range of applications. Everyday food such as bread can promote good health with the addition of Hi-maize resistant starch.

Increasingly, the role of food and drinks in delivering active health benefits is relied on by consumers. We offer a full range of targeted delivery solutions to protect active ingredients and ensure effective delivery of these components in food, beverages and nutritional supplements.
