An exciting development with huge potential appeal for those with allergies, as Paradise Fruits Solutions by Jahncke launches a new range of allergen-free nut flavoured granulates. Demand in the market from confectionery and baked goods producers for nut flavours but without the use of real nut ingredients has led to the development of this innovative new range.

The new nut-free granulates are available in eight flavours including Almond, Peanut, Peanut Caramel, Peanut Chocolate, Hazelnut, Pecan, Walnut and Pistachio. They are expected to appeal to manufacturers of baked goods or chocolate products, general confectionery, cereals and ice cream manufacturers plus many more applications.

Mike Schmidt, Sales Director of Paradise Fruits Solution, explains: “We see huge potential for this range, as research shows there is a rising number of people throughout the globe with nut allergies, yet they are being demanded as a flavour in many of the most popular baked goods and confectionery products.”

The granulates, which are offered in all standard cutting sizes, have major advantages in that they offer an authentic nut taste and aroma, which is completely natural. The new range is not only completely allergen-free but also free from palm oil as well as gluten and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

In addition, the granulates are bake stable and free flowing, therefore easy to dose. The nut free inclusions are more cost effective for manufacturers, too, as less quantity is required in comparison to nuts to achieve the same flavour gained when using whole or chopped nut inclusions.

The new inclusions can also be developed in bespoke flavour combinations and sizes based on the customer’s requirements. Other formats, including a nut-free paste, are also currently in development.
