Ingredients producer, Paradise Fruits Solutions by Jahncke, has unveiled a range of allergen-free nut-flavoured granulates.
The nut-free granulates are available in eight flavours: almond, peanut, peanut caramel, peanut chocolate, hazelnut, pecan, walnut and pistachio.
The inclusions are designed for manufacturers in categories including baked goods, confectionery and ice cream, who are looking for nut flavours without the use of real nut ingredients.
According to Paradise, the granulates are free from palm oil and gluten, and are suitable for halal, kosher and vegan applications.
As well as being ‘completely allergen free’, Paradise says that the inclusions offer a cost-effective solution for manufacturers, as a smaller quantity is required in comparison to nuts to achieve the same flavour.
The nut-free inclusions can also be developed in bespoke flavour combinations and sizes based on the customer’s requirements.
Paradise says that other formats, including a nut-free paste, are currently in development and will be available in the new year.
“In the same way that people with wheat intolerances may still want to enjoy bread, so those with allergies can still enjoy the flavour of nut-based products but without the associated risks,” said Mike Schmidt, sales director of Paradise Fruits Solutions.
“We see huge potential for this range, as research shows there is a rising number of people throughout the globe with nut allergies, yet they are being demanded as a flavour in many of the most popular baked goods and confectionery products.”
