Ulrick & Short has created a clean label ingredient which reduces the fat content of ice cream and other desserts by up to 50 per cent, with no effect on indulgence, taste or mouth feel.

A new development from the companys existing range of Delyte fat reducers and replacers, the ingredient has been designed and tested to ensure that the required level of softness or hardness in the ice cream can be maintained. Stability is also unaffected, with ice crystals no more evident than in full fat versions.

Like Ulrick & Shorts other ingredients, the Delyte range is designed to be neutral in application, working with and enhancing a food products composition to maximise flavour whilst minimising change to taste or texture. As well as supporting overall label simplification, Delyte can also help to create a healthier traffic light classification.
