BEVERAGE INGREDIENTS PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 09/19 www.petpla.net 27 As well as the pharmaceutical, cos- metics and sports industries, the food and beverage industry is keen to take advantage of this by introducing rel- evant product developments. Doehler offers a variety of ingredients that are tailor-made for functional beverages for healthy and active lifestyles, such as well-known vitamin and mineral blends, fashionable plant-based pro- teins, and exotic botanical extracts. All provide improved nutritional value and a selected taste profile. With these, the company can support diverse positionings such as digestive health, bone and joint health, the immune system, mental health and energy. Less is more: fewer calories and free from artificial ingredients To accommodate the demand for beverages with reduced sugar, Doe- hler offers a broad range of MultiSense Flavours and sweetening solutions that allow sugar reduction of up to 100%, while improving the taste and organoleptic feel of reduced-sugar beverages and dairy and plant-based drinks, without the need for sweeteners. India’s increasing health awareness is reflected in the number of new products that are free from artificial ingre- dients. This trend is associ- ated with growing demand for ‘clean label’ products, which contain minimal even zero additives. This means foregoing preservatives and environmentally-critical ingre- dients, such as palm oil. Doehler offers its cus- tomers a large number of natural ingredients, from natural flavours and natu- ral colours to natural fruit concentrates and numerous clean label concepts, as well as supporting them in all questions regarding claims and legal constraints. www.doehler.com 1 st Aseptic blower FDA certified in USA ABF 1.2 is the Aseptic Blow-Fill system featuring the very first sterile aseptic blower approved FDA. The GEA ABF 1.2, installed and successfully validated in the USA, obtained the FDA certificate for shelf-stable, low acid beverages produced and distributed in the USA. Thanks to ABF 1.2 each single step of the sterilization process is monitored, whilst the aseptic blower, housed inside a microbiological isolator, avoids any potential risk of recontamination. Another milestone for GEA 10 years after the first FDA certificate received for its PAA based sterilization system.
