The lab incorporates a variety of recent infrastructure investments including ovens, mixers, shearers, proofers and temperature-controlled incubators, as well as analytical equipment such as spectrometers and instruments monitoring water activity and rheology.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the right sweetener for plant-based ice cream alternatives has two main challenges, the company said. Firstly, not all sweeteners are vegan certified; for example, many common sugar products depend on animal parts, such as bone char, for coloring improvement. The other issue is the market segment: consumers seeking vegan food options largely intersect with those demanding all-natural, pantry-friendly ingredients. This often eliminates from consideration high-fructose corn syrups and other prominent sweeteners, even if they could be considered vegan.<\/p>\n<p>Once those factors are addressed, texture is another significant consideration, MPC said. Its all- natural sweeteners like MPC\u2019s TapRite\u2122 tapioca extract and RiceRite\u2122 brown rice-based sweeteners offer a lower dextrose equivalent (DE), provide bulking and control ice crystal growth \u2013 bringing a creamy consistency to plant-based ice cream alternatives that may otherwise be diicult to realize. Meanwhile, sweeteners like MPC\u2019s OatRite\u2122 oat extract, as well as vegan-certified items in its CaneRite\u2122 sugar cane molasses portfolio, help provide appropriate taste to popular flavors such as mocha, cr\u00e8me brulee and cookies &amp; cream.<\/p>\n<p>MPC said in addition to being all natural, many of its sweeteners contain health benefits such as proteins and antioxidants. Many also offer digestive benefits by optimizing \u2018good bacteria\u2019 while minimizing \u2018bad bacteria.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Amy Targan, president of MPC, said, <em>\u201cThe emergence of vegan ice cream is a logical next step from non- dairy ice creams, which have been incredibly popular for quite some time. Companies trying to create niche version of traditional food products \u2013 in this case, ice cream \u2013 frequently face challenges inding ideal formulations that meet speciic criteria while still appealing to a target consumer subset. Many are inding our MaltRite\u2122, OatRite\u2122 and certain molasses varieties as highly attractive options to sweeten vegan ice cream, which can be a delicate dance from an ingredients perspective.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US-headquartered Malt Products Corporation (MPC), a manufacturer of malted barley [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-coverage","category-trade-press-coverage"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.6 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
