Organic & Non-GMO Plant Proteins & Flours for Child-Friendly Formulations

Plant Proteins and Flours add valuable protein and nutrition to child-friendly formulations without compromising flavor or texture. Moreover, blending protein sources lets formulators optimize nutritional density and sensory performance. That flexibility is a critical advantage in today’s clean label market. Austrade’s portfolio includes Pumpkin, Almond, Yellow Pea, and Sunflower Protein, each suited to distinct application requirements.

Key Applications

→Energy Bars, Balls & Smoothies often benefit from Pumpkin or Almond Protein for a clean nutrition boost

→For example, Muffins, Cookies, and Cakes perform well with a Yellow Pea and Sunflower Protein blend

→Additionally, Granola Bars and Breakfast Biscuits achieve improved protein density with plant-based flour blends

Sunflower & Rapeseed Lecithin: Versatile Functionality Across Child-Friendly Formats

Lecithin earns its reputation as nature’s multipurpose ingredient. It delivers broad functionality at very low inclusion levels, whether in liquid or powder form. Formulators choose Sunflower and Rapeseed Lecithin across child-friendly applications. These range from trail mixes and granola bars to breads and baked goods. Additionally, lecithin extends shelf life in baked products, improves texture in extruded snacks, and binds ingredients in sauces. In short, it functions as a highly efficient multitasking tool across back-to-school food formulations.

Key Applications

→Trail Mixes and Granola Bars benefit from lecithin’s binding and freshness-extending properties

→Also, Sauces and Condiments achieve better emulsion stability and mouthfeel with lecithin inclusion

→Furthermore, Extruded Snacks (Veggie Straws, Pretzels, Crackers, Chips) gain improved texture and crunch with lecithin

→Bread and Baked Goods achieve extended shelf life and improved crumb structure with lecithin

Organic & Non-GMO Sweeteners: Lower Sugar, Better Nutrition for School-Ready Formulations

Clean label sweeteners offer an excellent pathway to lowering sugar intake across child-friendly formulations. Best of all, they still keep young consumers smiling. Crystalline Fructose, for instance, delivers approximately 1.4x the sweetening power of sucrose. Its GI score is only ~20, compared to ~65 for sucrose. As a result, formulators can meaningfully reduce total sugar without sacrificing perceived sweetness. Furthermore, Dextrose Monohydrate complements this toolkit. It extends shelf life and improves texture across a broad range of child-friendly applications.

Key Applications

→Energy Drinks benefit from Crystalline Fructose’s low GI score and cold-temperature sweetness enhancement

→Additionally, Baked Goods achieve excellent texture and reduced sugar content with Crystalline Fructose at lower use levels

→Gummy Fruit Snacks gain improved shelf stability and texture with Dextrose Monohydrate inclusion

→Ice Cream & Dairy formulations benefit from Dextrose Monohydrate’s freezing point depression and sweetness modulation

Organic & Non-GMO Starches: Gluten-Free Thickening Across Child-Friendly Applications

Clean label starches enhance a variety of back-to-school food formulations. They offer gluten-free properties, excellent thickening ability, high viscosity, and a neutral flavor profile. Notably, Native Corn Starch functions as a formulation powerhouse across a wide range of child-friendly applications. Formulators select it for its processing versatility and clean label declaration. It performs equally well across hot and cold product formats.

Key Applications

→Yogurt Bowls and Puddings achieve smooth, stable texture with Native Corn Starch as a clean label thickener

→For instance, Soups, Custards, and Sauces benefit from corn starch’s high viscosity and neutral flavor profile

→Extruded Foods gain improved structure and bite consistency with clean label starch inclusion

→Meat Products and meal components benefit from starch’s binding capacity and moisture-retention properties

Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil RBDW: Neutral, Stable, and School-Ready

High Oleic Sunflower Oil RBDW earns its status as a preferred formulation oil. Above all, its neutral flavor profile preserves other ingredient flavors without interference. Beyond its sensory neutrality, formulators rely on it for outstanding oxidative stability and a superior nutritional profile. Notably, its high oleic acid content supports heart-healthy positioning. As a result, it performs exceptionally across a wide range of back-to-school Food & Beverage formulations. These include salad dressings, smoothies, baked goods, and meal replacement drinks.

Key Applications

→Salad Dressings and Dips benefit from sunflower oil’s neutral flavor and excellent emulsification properties

→Additionally, Dried Fruit and Stir-Fry Vegetables gain superior coating stability and moisture retention with high oleic oil

→Moreover, Smoothies and Meal Replacement Drinks incorporate high oleic sunflower oil for its clean fatty acid profile

→Baked Goods and Infused Waters benefit from this oil’s outstanding oxidative stability during processing and storage

→Sauces, Marinades, and Condiments gain excellent flavor neutrality and processing stability with high oleic sunflower oil
