The latest fruits, nuts and other inclusions add something extra to dairy and nondairy products
FRUIT PREPS
For decades, dairy processors have relied on Balchem, formerly SensoryEffects, for fruit preps and variegates in their frozen desserts. Now Balchem said it also supplies fruit preps for cultured applications. Fruit preps are flavor systems that allow cultured dairy manufacturers to have only one step in producing a finished product. Companies can add flavor, color, sweetness and texture — whether they are adding fruit flavor bases to drinkable yogurts or using preps designed for fruit show in cream cheese spreads and cheesecake applications.
