Tate and Lyle Expand Rebalance System Further

23/08/05 Tate & Lyle has launched CARB OPTIMIZER 30 Yogurt Base Ingredients, a new Solution Set for low fat, low calorie, low sugar yogurts in the US. This Solution Set is one of Tate & Lyle’s ‘REBALANCE SYSTEM for dairy’ ingredient solutions. TATE & LYLE REBALANCE is a unique service which builds healthier profiles for food and beverage brands without compromising on taste.

A recent Incepta Marketing Intelligence study shows that when tested, 72% of yogurt buyers would definitely/probably buy a low fat, low sugar yogurt for themselves and 65% for their children. Tate & Lyle’s CARB OPTIMIZER 30 Yogurt Base Ingredients enable yogurt brands to respond to that demand.
 
Rated as ‘good as regular’ in key taste and texture attributes in independent sensory tests, Tate & Lyle’s recommended formula using CARB OPTIMIZER 30 Yogurt Base Ingredients create a nutritionally balanced yogurt with a creamy appearance and luxurious mouthfeel. This formula delivers 30 percent less sugar and 30 percent fewer calories (per 170 gram serving) when compared to the 1% yogurt of the market leading brand. By using Tate & Lyle’s recommended formula, manufacturers can create a gelatin-free product which provides 20% of the recommended daily calcium intake and a reduced glycemic carbohydrate content.
 
“Tate & Lyle CARB OPTIMIZER 30 Yogurt Base Ingredients provide consumers with a great tasting nutritionally balanced yogurt without the bitterness, off-flavor or aftertaste sometimes associated with artificial flavorings,” stated Faye Lee, Tate & Lyle Senior Food Scientist. “By using our Solution Set, we can help our customers deliver the sweet, clean taste and creamy mouthfeel consumers want – with fewer calories, less sugar and less fat and a clean label declaration.”
 
TATE & LYLE CARB OPTIMIZER 30 Yogurt Base Ingredients have great water binding and gelling capacity. They also deliver a balanced sweetness and process durability ensures that negligible sweetness is lost during pasteurization. This ingredient solution facilitates choice and its flexibility in application means that manufacturers can make no-sugar-added yogurts by adding flavors or no-sugar-added fruits, or create reduced-sugar yogurts by using fruits sweetened with nutritive sweeteners.
 
CARB OPTIMIZER 30 Yogurt Base Ingredients are designed to work with market leading flavor systems and cultures and are supplied ready for blending with milk using normal processing procedures.
