Honouring the company’s OptiSol 3000 ingredient, the judges commended its combination of whey protein concentrate and milled flaxseed as ‘an innovative, low cost solution to replacing eggs in baked goods’.
Addressing the issue of rising egg prices, OptiSol 3000 is a stable-priced ingredient system for 100% egg replacement in cakes, muffins, pancakes, sweet bakery mixes, baked bars, cornbreads, egg rolls and wantons, and refrigerated cookie doughs.
“We’re excited that OptiSol 3000 won an IFT Innovation Award this year,” said Loren Ward, director of research and development at Glanbia Nutritionals. “Optisol 3000 is a novel egg replacement solution that addresses a key market need. Food manufacturers will find that it’s cost effective, price stable and helps maintain the sensory profile of products. It also meets consumer desires for high quality protein, flax fibre and omega-3s.”
