Sugar for the professional
production of fruit preparations and sauces
Fruit preparations, jams, syrups, spreads, sweet and savoury sauces and condiments are essential components of our modern diet. They require the utmost care and quality to ensure a distinctive taste experience and perfect consistency.
Sugar plays a central role in this, as it performs essential functions far beyond mere sweetening. Our sugar solutions are optimally tailored to the needs of the food industry and offer you the ideal basis for impressing your customers with outstanding quality.
Market trends and consumer needs for fruit preparations and sauces
Fruit preparations, sauces and similar products are often used in products sold to end consumers through retail and food service channels. But they also play an important role as B2B solutions in the HoReCa market. Overarching market trends and consumer needs in this fragmented market are based on drivers such as naturalness, taste experience or appetite appeal, snacks to go, special treats, a more positive perception of health (halo effect) and a more balanced diet. In addition, value propositions with regard to sustainability are becoming increasingly important. Nevertheless, an excellent product experience remains the key driver for purchasing decisions in this highly competitive environment.
Functions of sugar in sauces, jams and fruit preparations
Sugar can play many significant roles in sauces, jams, fruit preparations and similar products:
- As a bulking/texturizing agent that affects consistency and mouthfeel
- As a humectant (preservation; maintaining and stabilizing water content)
- Improving viscosity (providing ideal thickness, consistency and body)
- As a flavour enhancer (balancing flavours and making products more palatable)
- Furnishing great colours (when heated, sugar breaks down and produces attractive colours and desired flavours – i.e. Maillard reaction)
- As an anti-coagulant (when heated, it delays unwanted coagulation of proteins)
Especially consistency and texture are essential for producing outstanding fruit preparations and sauces./p>
