Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients offer manufacturers the solution for a new and unique, “Good For You” snack cracker.
15/03/05 Tate & Lyle, a global leader in the renewable ingredients industry, has announced the launch of new Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients at the Snack Food Association’s SnaxPo 2005 Conference in Hollywood, Florida.
“Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients offer manufacturers the solution for a new and unique, “Good For You” snack cracker”, stated Lori Napier, Tate & Lyle R&D Specialist.
Tate & Lyle R&D has successfully developed a prototype of whole grain crackers with Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients using traditional sheeted cracker technology. Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients provide appropriate dough machining properties and contribute a light and crispy texture along with the presence of dietary fiber. Additionally, Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients enhance flavor in whole grain cracker formulas providing mild sweetness in the absence of nutritive sweeteners.
Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients reduce the amount of glycemic carbohydrates, such as sugar, in traditional and whole grain cracker formulas with a neutral or buttery flavor. Rebalance System™ 50 Cracker Ingredients can be used in trans-fat-free cracker formulas while maintaining appropriate dough machinability and a crispy texture after baking. The “Good For You” whole grain cracker prototype at Snaxpo 2005 features 3 grams of dietary fiber and 5 grams of protein per 30 gram serving, offering consumers a “Good Source of Fiber” with a moderate increase in protein when compared with the traditional crackers.
