Brussels, Belgium – 16th November 2011 – Univar, a leading global chemical distributor, announced today it will demonstrate its wide range of food ingredients and technical product advisory capabilities at Food Ingredients Europe 2011. Univar will be at stand 3C25 at the event in Paris Nord Villepinte, France, from 29th November to 1st December 2011.
In particular, Univar will present three new, uniquely developed products as part of its showcase at this year’s show: pink fizz concentrated beverage syrup, energy bars and the ultimate muffin. Each product has been exclusively developed by Univar’s dedicated technical staff to demonstrate how new functional ingredients can be used to address growing market trends for natural, gluten-free and healthy food products. All three creations feature ingredients that make products low in sugar, fat and sodium and high in protein without affecting their flavour.
With dedicated development kitchens in Benelux, Iberia, Nordics and the UK, Univar helps customers develop solutions to specific recipe challenges, including offering advice on the latest ingredients and food trends, and deploying a variety of specialist technical processes, such as microscope control of starches. This combination of expertise enables the company to obtain maximum performance from its ingredient portfolio, reduce cycle times and waste products, and drive customer performance in the marketplace.
“Consumer needs are becoming more sophisticated, with demand for speciality food products increasing dramatically,” explains Simon Atkins, Industry Director Food EMEA, Univar. “We create customized formulation advice for our customers to help them identify the right specialist and complementary ingredients for the right application.”
