Tate & Lyle, a global leader in renewable ingredients, today announces the launch of Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 006 and 007. These are new Solution Sets for food industry customers created to fulfil European consumer-demand for fat-free, reduced energy, reduced sugars yoghurts.
Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 006 and 007 are two of Tate & Lyle’s ‘REBALANCE™ SYSTEM for dairy’ ingredient solutions. TATE & LYLE REBALANCE™ is a unique service which builds healthier profiles for food and beverage brands without compromising on taste.
A recent Incepta Marketing Intelligence study shows that when tested, 72% of yoghurt buyers would be inclined to buy a lower fat, lower sugar yoghurt for themselves and 65% for their children. Tate & Lyle’s Yoghurt REBALANCE™ Solution Set enables yoghurt brands to respond to that demand.
Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 007 creates nutritionally balanced yoghurts with a smooth appearance and texture in the mouth. Independent sensory analysis from Leatherhead Food International showed that ‘Tate & Lyle very low calorie yoghurt’ containing Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 007 as rated in the top three for overall liking when compared to 12 commercially available brands. ‘Tate & Lyle very low calorie yoghurt’ obtained the best score of any reduced energy yoghurt tested.
Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 007 delivers 63% less sugars and 56% fewer calories when compared to a full-fat yoghurt. By using this Tate & Lyle Solution Set, manufacturers can create a gelatin-free product and reduce glycaemic carbohydrate content by 50%.
Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 007 improves the body and texture of energy-reduced stirred yogurts. By using the functionalities of different stabilizers, the Solution Set also controls protein aggregation during acidification, improving the smoothness of the product. Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 007 contains Modified Food Starches and Pectin. A related version, containing SPLENDA® Sucralose has also been launched and is marketed as Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 006.
Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 006 containing SPLENDA® Sucralose delivers balanced sweetness to the yoghurt. Furthermore, its process durability ensures that sweetness is not lost during pasteurisation. Based on a dosage in the white mass of 1.3%, Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 006 delivers only 4 kcal per 100g. Its sweetness compares to a traditional formulation equivalent to 5% sugar, which normally delivers 20 kcal per 100g.
Both ingredient solutions facilitate choice and their flexibility in application means that manufacturers can make sugar-free yoghurts by adding flavours or no-sugar-added fruits or create reduced-sugar yoghurts by using fruits sweetened with nutritive sweeteners.
“Our REBALANCE SYSTEM™ for dairy’ yoghurt solutions provide consumers with great tasting nutritionally balanced products,” says Tate & Lyle’s Mike Augustine, Global Vice-President of Ingredient Applications and Technical Services. “By using our Solution Set, yoghurt producers can help our customers deliver the sweet, clean taste and creamy texture consumers want - with fewer calories, less sugar and less fat and a clean label declaration.”
Yoghurt REBALANCE™ 006 and 007 are designed to work with market leading flavour systems and cultures and are supplied ready for blending with milk using normal processing procedures.
