Taura Pioneers Ancient Grain and Fruit Combos
URC Inclusions will be unveiled for the first time at Food Ingredients Europe in Paris next week. The range presents manufacturers with a huge variety of potential combinations, all offering fantastic flavours, textures and striking visual contrasts.
Nov 22 2011 --- Taura Natural Ingredients has launched an innovative range of ingredients that combines – for the first time – ancient grains and Ultra Rapid Concentrated (URC) fruit and vegetables.
The new range, which is called URC Inclusions, will allow manufacturers to fill a gap in the market by creating products that contain customized blends of ancient grains such as quinoa, amaranth and chia with 100% pure concentrated fruit and vegetables for applications in the snack, bakery, breakfast cereal and confectionery categories.
Mattias van Uffelen, Head of European Sales at Taura, said: “Our new URC Inclusions range will allow manufacturers of snacks, baked goods, breakfast cereals and confectionery to do something that’s never been done before – combining ancient grains with fruit and vegetables.”
“Now, thanks to URC Inclusions, we can offer companies a great way to benefit from this by creating innovative products that not only look and taste superb, but also tap into consumer demand for healthy and delicious products. There’s no end to the fantastic combinations possible with this new range.”
URC Inclusions will be unveiled for the first time at Food Ingredients Europe in Paris next week. The range presents manufacturers with a huge variety of potential combinations, all offering fantastic flavours, textures and striking visual contrasts.
As well as ancient grains, URC Inclusions can incorporate crisped rice and cereals to create a novel crispy-crunch texture, and sweet treats such as chocolate for more indulgent product concepts. In addition, the URC Inclusions range is a perfect carrier for functional ingredients, such as probiotics and prebiotics.
Visitors to Food Ingredients Europe, which takes place in Paris from 29 November to 1 December 2011, can be among the first to see the potential offered by URC Inclusions simply by calling at Stand #1E47 to meet Taura’s European team.
Taura will be showcasing a wide range of concepts and innovations at FIE, all based on its URC technology, which is a unique process of concentrating the taste, texture and natural goodness of fruit and vegetables into pieces, flakes and pastes for use in applications such as snack bars, baked goods, breakfast cereals and confectionery.
