DMV launches new topping base Aerion DP 90

The first companies to try it out are very pleased with the results. DP 90 is an all round topping base, with excellent whipping properties, smooth texture and superb taste. It is also non hvo, so no hydrogenated fats are found in this product.

26/05/08 The world’s largest producer of powdered toppings, DMV International in the Netherlands, is launching Aerion DP 90 worldwide this spring. Expectations for this completely new product of vegetable origin are high. The first companies to try it out are very pleased with the results. DP 90 is an all round topping base, with excellent whipping properties, smooth texture and superb taste. It is also non hvo, so no hydrogenated fats are found in this product.

“Inspired customers tell me they think the new product is great, as it supports less functional, cheaper ingredients by improving taste and creaminess. In France it is being used in artisanal ice creams, in Greece more in retail bakery mixes and in the UK it is replacing hydrogenated fats in various products,” says Jos Bevers, Senior Market Development Manager at DMV International. “DP 90’s wide range of functionalities is definitely its greatest advantage.”

“DP 90 is the ideal solution for non hydrogenated vegetable fat based instant aerated desserts,” says Bevers. “This is why it fits in extremely well with the current health trend and the emphasis in certain countries on replacing hydrogenated fats with non hydrogenated fats. You could certainly call this a vegetable alternative for dairy cream with an honest, full taste and a creamy impression. No compromise on taste and functionality was our goal, and we achieved this with excellent results.”

DMV International has been working on the development of this new ingredient with a whole team of specialists over a period of eighteen months. It was presented last November at the trade fair Fi Europe in London. “The initial reactions are enthusiastic, not only because it’s non hvo but primarily because of its high performance and all-round character,” Bevers emphasizes. 

Customers coordinate closely on Aerion DP 90’s use with Innovium, DMV International’s Innovation Centre in Wageningen, the Netherlands. It is DMV International’s goal to develop new products as much as possible in close cooperation with customers. In this way, clients can recognise at an early stage if using a new ingredient in their formulation will lead to changes in their manufacturing process. 

DP 90 is a topping that is mainly applied in instant aerated desserts for the consumer market. Because of its all-round character, it can also be used in artisanal ice creams and bakeries use it for fillings, bavarois, mousses and decoration cream. It can be used both in an ‘acid’ environment, e.g. in the production of quark mousse, and in a ‘neutral’ environment, e.g. in the preparation of chocolate mousse.

An important selling point in a number of markets is that it is free of both animal ingredients and GMOs (genetically modified organisms). In the long run, DMV International sees consumers taking more responsibility for their eating habits and factoring health aspects more heavily into their buying decisions. DMV International wants to stay as close as possible to consumer demand by way of continuous innovation. “The consumer of the future has our full attention,” states Jos Bevers.

DP 90 is made in DMV International’s specially equipped state of the art factory in Veghel, where mainly toppings and batter stabilizers are manufactured.
