But, what about the customers looking for calorie conscious choices? Gelatine is your sensorial solution! Being neutral in taste and technically versatile, gelatine can improve both the texture and nutritional profile of a wide range of low-calorie products, including salad dressings, mayonnaise in salad dressings, cheeses or even a yogurt. As gelatine can absorb up to 10 times its own weight in water, it binds and stabilizes additional water in low-calorie products. In this way, gelatine increases the volume of the food without adding further calories.
Second to taste, the structure and mouthfeel of food products are decisive factors for consumers. Be it creamy, firm or foamed, almost every desired texture can be achieved in yogurts, mousses, cream products or instant desserts with gelatine, while still reducing fats. It is even possible to reduce the fat content of spreads such as margarine and butter to less than 25%. Use gelatine for fat reductions of up to 40% to make cheese preparations for many applications.
Technically speaking, gelatine can both enhance the product’s shelf-life and increase its freeze-thaw stability. That’s not all, using gelatine, GELITA can help you to enhance the crispiness of wafers and biscuits.
