Better-for-you indulgence is the new snacking. We want to enjoy, but we also want our health to thrive, and consumers are expecting this to become the new industry standard. Take the lead with our special soft serve ice cream. Soft-serve ice creams require specific ingredients and a precise manufacturing process to ensure a soft and spoonable texture. This involves incorporating the right amount of air into the formulation, managing the meltdown rate to enjoy the thick and creamy texture longer, and preventing ice crystal formation to maintain a smooth consistency. Consumers are also expecting a burst of flavor and sweetness when enjoying this desserts, even in health improved recipes. Hence, adjusting the flavor and sweetness is crucial to deliver a satisfying yet health-conscious treat.
Our team has successfully developed a soft-serve ice cream using NUTRAVA© Citrus Fiber. This label-friendly ingredient not only achieves comparable overrun, sensory profile, and texture consistency as traditional texturizers but also enhances creaminess and prevents early crystallization and melt-down. The best part? You can seamlessly incorporate citrus fiber into your ice cream production without any process changes. For a memorable taste, we have incorporated trending flavors into our soft-serve ice cream, highlighting delightful sweet and savory notes. We have also made this indulgence healthier by reducing sugar content by 25%* and enriching the ice cream with a soluble prebiotic fiber for natural sweetness and gut health support. To enhance the sweetness perception, we added modulation flavor. This results in a naturally enhanced, creamy, and better-for-you ice cream with rich flavors, contributing to the well-being of your consumers.
