Cargill launches new coatings and fillings to answer key trends

Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate has launched new additions to its coatings and fillings range offering extended capabilities to manufacturers, with innovations designed to answer key trends and consumer preferences. Each of the coatings and fillings responds to a trend identified in Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate’s recently issued Trends report, namely: Healthy, Sustainable and Clean, and Indulgent.

With "Healthy" in mind, the coatings and fillings have been reformulated to reduce sugar by at least 30%, contributing to the reduced sugar claim on final products. In addition, Cargill's answer to the growing trend for protein are coatings and fillings, packed with around 20% protein to contribute to the protein claim of cereal bars, biscuits and other final applications with no taste trade-off.

"Sustainable and Clean" are products which are naturally coloured with plant extracts. Cargill is using plant extracts to replace colourants – from beetroot to give a warm red colour, to spirulina for a deep blue. The coatings and fillings create endless possibilities. Under the slogan "Indulgent", Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate offers lemon-flavoured products to fulfill the demand for citrus flavours is booming worldwide. And the salted caramel-flavoured coating and filling combines a vintage toffee flavour with a silky texture.
