Cargill uses Natural Products Expo West 2024 to highlight ingredient solutions
With innovation as a central theme, Cargill used the Natural Products Expo West 2024 in Anaheim, Calif., to showcase new additions to its ingredient solutions portfolio. Among those featured at the show were:
• PalmAgility® 600series compound coating fats(pictured) are a new line of patent-pending, specialty fats designed for a variety of applications including fillings, drizzling, enrobing and bottoming for bakery, snacks and confectionery products. Key benefits of the range include its heightened heat stability and its ability to delay fat bloom development, extending product shelf life and resulting in a more pleasing visual appearance. (Fat bloom refers to the appearance of whitish streaks or coatings on the surface and potentially throughout the chocolate. This appears during the shelf life and is unappealing to consumers.) Initially, the line will include five products, differentiated by the final texture or mouthfeel they impart, ranging from a firm, hard bite similar to chocolate to a softer mouthfeel experience. The line is especially well suited for use in compound coatings applied to donuts, cookies, snack cakes and snack/nutrition bars.
