Light yeast extracts (powder)

Creaminess:

Creaminess enhancing ingredients are mainly used to decrease fat contents. The most successful applications can be found in the range of dairy products. Achieving a creaminess enhancement while applying an E-number free ingredient offers new, innovative possibilities for the food processing industry. A special range of yeast extracts that improve the “creamy mouthfeel“ particularly in dairy foodstuffs, facilitates the development of low-fat products while maintaining the mouthfeel of a full-fat product.
