CLEAN-LABEL VANILLA DELICIOUSNESS
Organic Vanilla Powder from Global Organics is a clean-label flavor solution ideal for dairy applications, naturally enhancing sweetness with minimal calories, the company stated. Sourced from FLO-certified smallholder farmers in Madagascar, this single-ingredient powder is made by grinding organic vanilla pods. With a minimum vanillin content of 1.5%, its strong flavor allows manufacturers to use as little as 1% in formulations. Beyond taste, vanilla offers potential health benefits including stress reduction, memory support, digestive aid and protection against cellular aging, thanks to natural polyphenols, the company says. By using Organic Vanilla Powder, brands can highlight the use of real vanilla instead of artificial flavoring, aligning with growing consumer demand for simple, functional and sustainably sourced ingredients.

FLAVOR SENSATIONS WITH SILKY VARIEGATES
The newest addition to Sensient Flavors & Extracts’ extensive variegate family is a silky variegate. Complementing the company’s core traditional, textured, and Flvr Frz lines, the new silky variegate uses an innovative technology to create an ultra-smooth and creamy mouthfeel. The taste evokes an indulgent richness in any ice cream or frozen dessert, including full-fat or low-fat products and full sugar to low/no-sugar-added applications, the company says. The delicate, melt-in-your-mouth, oil-soluble texture can be tailored to meet nutritional claims. Additionally, with the newest variegates, the company also in encouraging experimentation since there’s a low minimum order quantity for customizable flavor and color combinations.
