Clean label ingredient specialist Ulrick & Short has unveiled its latest fat reducer to help food manufacturers reduce fat and calorie content in a range of foods.

Delyte 9 replaces cream and fat whilst still ensuring the retention of body, texture and mouth feel without loss of integrity. It is said to be ideal for blended sauces and dried mixes, especially those aimed at the pasta sauce and ready meal markets, including béchamel and carbonara mixes.

Suitable as a replacement ingredient for the majority of creams and fats, the Delyte range can replac up to 50 per cent of butter in cakes and 30 per cent of the oil in muffins. Cooked creams can also be enhanced, with up to 20 per cent reduction of cream content and milk solids in bakery and confectionery fillings, such as chocolate ganache.
