International Taste Solutions (I.T.S) has developed new flavour enhancers that “replicate the indulgent characteristics of traditional bakery products” in plant-based alternatives. The Vegan Boost range offers an all-in-one solution that can be used to accentuate buttery and creamy flavours in a range of dairy- and egg-free cake and patisserie products. The natural flavour solutions come in liquid and powder formats. Meanwhile, a higher strength range, Vegan Boost Extra, is available if more intense flavours are required. Vegan Boost can also help to mask off-notes from ingredients used to replace dairy and egg in plant-based bakery products. “Consumer demand for plant-based products is rising, but until now the bakery sector has been a little behind the curve,” said Carl Smith, head of innovations at I.T.S. “Our bakery customers know we are easy to work with and they asked us for help in enhancing the flavour of their vegan cakes and bakery ranges. “We set about creating a straightforward alternative to the options currently available from the larger flavour houses. Vegan Boost offers no-nonsense flavours, and it provides an easy-to-use solution that is proven to work.”
