Cargill dairy concepts at Worldwide Food Expo 2007 help meet consumer demand for taste

Visitors to Cargill’s booth at the Worldwide Food Expo can sample and learn more about four new dairy prototypes that both tantalize the taste buds and address distinct consumer demand.

Blueberry Guanabana Lowfat Frozen Yogurt Frozen yogurt popularity has recently grown as consumers enjoy smoothies, yogurt cones, and other “good for you” new products in the marketplace. Cargill has responded with a tasty blueberry guanabana lowfat frozen yogurt, which offers functional stabilizer blends that replace fat and dairy solids without impacting the texture and mouthfeel consumers enjoy and expect. Cargill also offers a variety of other novel flavors enabling producers to create an array of enticing new dairy products.

Pumpkin Pie Gelato

Rising milk prices are creating challenges for manufacturers who want to ensure a pleasant consumer experience while managing costs. In response, Cargill has developed a pumpkin pie gelato, containing Cargill’s Daritech Stabilizer blends and creative flavor solutions. This rich and creamy dessert offers consumers an indulgent treat without full Reduced Fat Sour Cream Ethnic foods have increased in popularity, resulting in exciting growth for full fat and reduced fat sour creams at retail and food service outlets. Manufacturers are challenged with improving the nutritional profile and higher costs of dairy components while at the same time delivering high quality products that don’t sacrifice the taste and texture consumers love.

In response, Cargill developed a reduced fat sour cream with Vitex Stabilizer blends that not only replaces fat and dairy solids without jeopardizing taste, but also helps food manufacturers manage costs. By combining Cargill’s Vitex Stabilizer blends with additional Cargill ingredients, sour cream producers are able to offer a great tasting and reduced fat product to consumers. Products and flavors, they have adopted Italian tastes.

Chocolate Coated Ice Cream with Extra “Krunch”

Consumers love ice cream, and ice cream coated with tasty chocolate and a crunchy texture is particularly appealing. This ice cream treat features Peter’s™ dark chocolate and Gerkens® cocoa for an indulgent chocolate taste. It includes Cargill’s Fiber Krunch crisp for a pleasing crunchy texture consumers love, and Daritech Stabilizer blends to improve the creaminess and ice crystal control of the ice cream. Satin Sweet corn syrup adds sweetness and textural enhancement.
