Bayn alliances Swedish Oat Fiber developed no-added sugar chocolate with natural oat oil
Bayn Europe and Swedish Oat Fiber will present chocolate and pralin, without added sugar and replaced the emulsifier with natural oat oil with focus on taste, texture and viscosity, at the upcoming show, Food Ingredients Europe (FiE) 28-30 November 2017. This application development contributes a label friendly solution for chocolate manufacturers.
"Sugar is an important building block for chocolate making for taste and texture. The viscosity of chocolate is also very important in chocolate making, therefore, emulsifying agents are used. Producers are however always looking for new alternatives to current emulsifiers on the market. Bayn is pleased to develop a sugar-reduced chocolate together with Swedish Oat Fiber where their natural oat oil has proven to be a good emulsifier substitute in our no-added-sugar chocolate, giving very good chocolate properties. It is label friendly for positive consumer perceptions. This gives an extreme added value to our sugar reduced chocolate" says Lucy Dahlgren, CEO of Bayn Europe.
"Our oat oil is unique with its special nutritional and functional properties, especially combined with the emulsifying effect of the polar lipids. Our oat fiber oil is a vegetable oil from oats, completely natural without E-numbers and with our patented gentle process, we can increase the amount of polar lipids and thus enhance the emulsifying properties.
Together with Bayn we now present a chocolate without added sugar content and also a natural emulsifier. Taste and texture are just as good as the traditional chocolate, so it's going to be exciting to collect feedbacks from the food professional at FiE"says Peo Crona, CEO, Swedish Oat Fiber AB
