< Previous40 Food & Drink Internationalwww.fdiforum.netBAKERY AND CONFECTIONERYbuyers, and certification schemes such asFairtrade, UTZ Certified, Organic andRainforest Alliance – as well as retailers’and manufacturers’ own schemes – areillustrating to consumers the steps that arebeing taken to create a more ethicalapproach.As well as a hunger for ethical andnatural products, consumers are now alsolooking for confectionery that offers ahealthier snacking option. Certainly inrecent years, the sugar-free sector hasexpanded hugely thanks to new technologythat means the taste and texture of aproduct can remain even when theingredients are changed. One great example recently showcasedat the ISM confectionery exhibition wasthe fibre-filled product SteviaBalance,recently launched by Germanmanufacturer Bodeta. This fibre-enrichedconfectionery without added sugar wasoriginally a Beneo marketing concept fromtheir Sweets Collection think tank, andBeneo’s unique chain of expertisesupported the product’s development. Theproduct includes a liquid core thatincorporates Beneo’s dietary fibreoligofructose and the main body containsIsomalt, oligofructose and Stevia.Confectionery with oligofructose is acreative way of helping consumers meettheir recommended daily allowance offibre, without compromising on themouthfeel or taste – thanks to Isomaltbeing the only sugar replacer which isderived from sugar beet and therefore hasa similar sweetening profile to sugar.Healthier, more natural products havedriven innovation in the sector for manyyears but other concepts are also beingintroduced to meet a range of tastes anddesires. At a time when consumersgenerally have less money to spend, manymanufacturers are producing smallerproducts that emphasise affordable luxury.Barry Callebaut’s Mignature range, forexample, has been produced to offer “amoment of sheer indulgence” toconsumers.The bakery sector has certainlyillustrated exceptional innovation in recentyears which has allowed companies tocontinue to produce products that lookhandmade and traditional, but at fargreater speeds and without the need forexcessive intervention from staff.Innovation continues too, and bakerylooms large in the list of food processingand manufacturing development projectsthat have received more than £11 millionworth of UK government funding. One ofthe flagship schemes is the increase inbread manufacturing efficiency by adoptingan innovative way of generating natural,functional raw materials from excess, foodsafe, dough and baked bread, through aproject to be led by Warburtons. They aimto cut the cost of bakery functionalingredients significantly, reduce bread anddough waste and, at the same time, reducethe environmental burden created by themanufacture and supply chain of thesefunctional ingredients.Projects such as this allow the bakeryand confectionery sector to offer the bestof both worlds – exceptional and uniqueflavour experiences which emphasiseluxury while allowing for cost-effective andconsistent production.The bakery and confectionery sectoris benefiting from new ingredientsolutions such as Taura NaturalIngredients’ Gourmet Series of fruitpieces, recently launched at ISMBeneo’s Isomalt andPalatinose are naturallyderived from sugar beet andtherefore has a similarsweetening profile to sugarSourcing and supplying the sweet sideof food ingredients +44 [0]844 3244499www.hbingredients.co.uk Come and join us on Stand S260138-40:Layout 1 22/2/13 11:52 Page 3Food & Drink International 41www.fdiforum.netCFIAPromoting dynamismin the industryTaking place at the Parc desExhibitions in Rennes, CFIA runs from12th-14th March and promises to bea packed-out show with innovation ondisplay from across the world withinthe agri-food sector.For more information on the show, log ontowww.cfiaexpo.comRunning since 1997, the showenjoys a more than healthy stream ofvisitors enjoying over 14,000 last yearalone.
