Lengthy supply chains mean there are numerous potential flashpoints so theimportance of accurate temperature measurement and instant identification of contaminants cannot beoverestimated.Neogen launches AccuPoint® AdvancedNeogen has released an enhanced version of its popular AccuPoint® ATP Hygiene Monitoring system thatmakes this product the most sensitive and consistent monitoring system available. AccuPoint Advancedfeatures improved samplers, compact reader and data management software. “While the previous versionsof our AccuPoint system have been very successful tools to monitor the effectiveness of the cleaningprograms for many, the feedback we’ve received led directly to this next generation of AccuPoint system, “says Dr. Steve Chambers, Neogen’s Sales and Marketing Director. “Our many years of working closely withthe food industry have shown us what matters. We are pleased to offer a new hygiene monitoring system thatwe believe is superior to anything else on the market”. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) sanitation monitoring systems have evolved into the current “gold standard”for food and beverage production facilities to monitor their hygiene programme’s effectiveness. Using an ATP system is an easy and quick gauge of afacilities cleanliness, and is easily customised for the specific people, product, and processes used in any food production facility. The system sets andobjective, recordable and traceable standard to help avoid the consequences of substandard cleaning efforts.

In the recent past, “functional” foodsthat offer a particular health benefit werea niche concern – the preserve of a smallnumber of dedicated consumers.Nowadays these products are relativelycommonplace. As consumers pursueincreasingly healthy lifestyles,manufacturers can benefit by keepingabreast of the latest trends in functionalfoods, especially if they are based incountries where the industry has beenslow to catch on.This feature looks at the new breed ofingredients and products on offer thatprovide specific health benefits andexamines the opportunities these productscould present to manufacturers.In 2008, following years of growth, thehealth-, organic- and whole-foodindustries fell into sharp decline. In thewake of the global economic downturn,thrift became a major concern forconsumers, and sales of “functional”heath foods (which tend to be moreexpensive to produce and thus moreexpensive to buy) faltered. The markethas been unpredictable ever since, but onething is certain: there is just enoughdemand for functional foods to encouragesustained investment, and as aconsequence, new products are beingdeveloped every day.A functional food is defined as aproduct that provides health benefitsbeyond its basic nutritional value, such asfoods that actively reduce cholesterol, aiddigestive transit, or help an individual to“de-tox.” The most common functionalproducts on the market include probioticyogurts and drinks which employ bacteriato assist digestion, fortified breakfastcereals that provide supplementaryvitamins, and spreads containing heart-healthy plant sterols.These products are familiar to mostconsumers. However, manufacturers whowant to push ahead of the competitioncan now access a wealth of innovativenew functional ingredients that havehighly specific health benefits.32 ÁHEALTHmattersPHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/CHC3537HEALTHmatters31-35_Layout 1 23/09/2015 12:18 Page 132 Food & Drink Internationalwww.fdiforum.netFUNCTIONAL FOODSOne type of ingredient that has thepotential to revolutionise the industry is“healthy sugar,” a low-calorie, processedform of natural sugar that promotesslower energy-release. Healthy sugars arebeing developed to replace artificialsweeteners, which often have anunpleasant aftertaste and tend toincorporate synthetic ingredients thataren’t especially healthy. Manufacturers are now utilising thelatest technologies and scientific know-how to produce heathier alternatives suchas Isomalt (made from Beets) andIsomaltulose (a derivative of honey andsugar cane) from natural sugar itself. Thebenefits are manifold: health-consciousconsumers can enjoy sweetened productswithout the guilt and manufacturers cansave money by avoiding costly artificialingredients. Because of the potential use-value of healthy sugars in themanufacturing of sports-drinks, and so on,they may prove easier to market as well:healthy sugars can be used to producefoods and drinks that are attractive tolarge numbers of consumers and not just aniche market.Naturelly Jelly Juice isannounced as a winner of theGrocery Accelerator Programme2015The 6 winners of the ground-breaking Grocery Accelerator Programmewere announced this week at the Speciality & Fine Food Fair in London.This is a fantastic achievement for Naturelly, whose gelatine-free JellyJuice drink for kids aged 2+ faced stiff competition from 322 companiesto secure the industry-recognised prize.Naturelly Jelly Juice is set to continue its mission to help and inspireparents when it comes to choosing a fun and healthy snack for theirchildren.

From green teas rich incancer-preventing antioxidants to soy-based products that are good for thebones, these products are dominatingthe market, and for good reason:consumers will pay out more when theythink they are getting a “quick fix” –something cheap that will “solve” theirhealth problem. This could beparticularly beneficial in countries thatregister higher rates of obesity anddietary-related diseases. So the trick for manufacturers, in onesense, is shrewd product marketing. InPHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK.COM/JAKKAPAN31-35_Layout 1 23/09/2015 12:19 Page 4Food & Drink International 35www.fdiforum.netFUNCTIONAL FOODS@ NielsenMasseyLike us on Facebook NielsenMasseyVanillasthe past, ingredients such as soy beans and wholegrains wereconsidered unpalatable – even hippyish – by mostconsumers. They were markers of a very specific kind oflifestyle. Today it is incumbent on manufacturers to“reinvent” these ingredients for a new market, stressing theparticular health benefits they offer above all else. It is lessabout emphasising the provenance of the product, or thefact that it is organic, and more about demonstrating theindividual benefit to the consumer. Moving forward, food and drink manufacturers must findways to develop functional ingredients and products thatappeal to health-conscious consumers and those who aresimply looking for something to make them feel better abouttheir otherwise poor diet. Pitching functional ingredients atdiverse groups of consumers is perhaps the only true way tomaximise their profit-generating potential. Thanks to thedevelopment of healthy sugar and a raft of condition-specificfoods and ingredients, this is likely to become a realitysooner rather than later. Freida launch snackbar aimed at pregnantwomenMum savvy Sharon Kaur has launched a snack bar aimedspecifically to pregnant women, to provide healthy and longlasting energy. With the demanding pace of modern life, it can difficult tomaintain a work/life balance, never mind trying to eat healthilyand stay energised. Throw pregnancy into the mix and thing’sget doubly difficult. Packed full of nuts and seeds, the bars contain essentialnutrients, such as zinc and selenium, along with the ‘good’ fats,omegas 3 & 6, which act as important building blocks forhealthy growth. The natural ingredients also provide animportant source of protein and are high in fibre, to help keepfood cravings at bay.
