Tate & Lyle, a global leader in renewable ingredients, is launching two new Solution Sets for European beverage manufacturers as part of its TATE & LYLE REBALANCE® range. TATE & LYLE REBALANCE® is a unique ingredient service – giving brands a healthier profile without compromising taste.
Water REBALANCE™ 100 and Water REBALANCE™ 150 will help European beverage manufacturers to create new flavoured waters or reformulate existing products to meet changing customer requirements for great-tasting, affordable and nutritious low-calorie drinks.
Both Solution Sets contain SPLENDA® Sucralose and fructose, with Water REBALANCE™ 100 also containing polydextrose, and can reduce the calorie-content of commercially available flavoured waters by up to 66% (Water REBALANCE™ 150: 66% calorie reduction – Water REBALANCE™ 100: 61%). These Solution Sets can be used in all kinds of flavour systems helping enable manufacturers to meet the energy, nutrition and taste demands of modern consumers.
Water REBALANCE™ 100 and Water REBALANCE™ 150 can be used to create beverages with significantly lower energy content, reduced sugar and enhanced flavour compared to many of the commercially available options. The presence of polydextrose in Water REBALANCE™ 100 also gives beverages a fuller mouthfeel.
Tate & Lyle’s Mike Augustine, Global Vice-President of Ingredient Applications and Technical Services, comments: “These new Solution Sets really do add value to our customers’ products. Prototypes incorporating Water REBALANCE™ 100 and Water REBALANCE™ 150 have produced excellent sensory test results and we are already looking forward to seeing the first industrial production of flavoured waters using our Water REBALANCE™ solutions.”
The sensory tests were undertaken by Leatherhead Food International, an independent body. Three Tate & Lyle prototypes* were tested against 13 commercially available samples on more than 30 aroma, flavour, mouthfeel, aftertaste and afterfeel attributes. The prototypes consistently were rated among the best-liked of the 16 samples.
Tate & Lyle will continue to expand its range of value-added ingredient solutions which help customers create innovative products, rebalance the nutrition profile of their brands and enhance the nutritional benefits of beverages without compromising on taste.
