These fibers, derived from certified vegetable sources and obtained with natural and sustainable processes, are able to improve the texture and nutritional balance of products without compromising taste or consistency.

Innovative Plant Fibers: The Key to Clean Label Ice Cream

SaporePuro vegetable fibers are an ideal choice for those who want to create clean label products without sacrificing quality or performance. These fibers, completely soluble and partially insoluble, offer a series of benefits that make them a valuable ingredient for the formulation of ice creams and sorbets:

• 100% vegetal and natural: SaporePuro vegetable fibers are obtained from certified vegetable sources, guaranteeing a product free from artificial ingredients or GMOs.
• Different functional properties: These fibers act as binders, stabilizers, and thickeners, helping to improve the structure and consistency of ice creams and sorbets.
• Nutritional profile enhancement: Adding plant fibers allows you to increase the fiber content, making the final products healthier and more suitable for a balanced diet.
• Clean label: SaporePuro plant fibers allow you to create products with a clean label, satisfying the needs of consumers who are attentive to the quality of the ingredients.

Flaxseed Fiber, Citrus Fiber, and Textur Fiber: The Best Choices for Clean Label Ice Creams and Sorbets

Among the various options available, two types of fibres stand out for their excellent properties and versatility in the application for clean label ice creams and sorbets:

1. Flaxseed Fiber : This vegetable fiber, extracted from flax seeds, is characterized by high molecular weight polysaccharides that give it thickening and stabilizing properties. Flaxseed Fiber It is particularly suitable for replacing artificial additives such as carob seed flour or carrageenan, helping to ensure a clean label and a more natural formulation.

2. Citrus Fiber : Obtained from the edible part of citrus fruits, this fiber is renowned for its ability to bind water and improve the texture of final products. Citrus Fiber  It is particularly suitable for creating ice creams and sorbets with a creamy consistency and a pleasant mouthfeel.

3. In third place we find the new Texture Fiber ,  a blend of functional vegetable fibres (corn and legumes).
   
   Texture Fiber stands out for its extraordinary capacity to retain moisture, being able to bind up to 20 parts of water for each part of fiber. This attribute gives the final product a series of significant advantages. In particular, it helps to increase the softness and freshness of the product. Its gelling capacity is effective at both low and high temperatures, ensuring stability, viscosity and the formation of a consistent gel. In addition, Texture Fiber offers exceptional stability even under freeze/thaw conditions, and acts as an effective cryoprotectant.These characteristics are essential to maintain the integrity and quality of the product during transport and storage. Furthermore, the use of Texture Fiber can lead to an increase in overall yield, making it a beneficial choice for food production.

Tips for using SaporePuro Fibres in Ice Creams and Sorbets

To get the best results with SaporePuro vegetable fibers, it is important to follow some guidelines:

• Use fiber  of citrus SaporePuro in one dose  equal to 1% of the recipe to ensure optimal consistency if used as the only fiber.
• If you are also using other stabilizers, you can reduce the amount of vegetable fiber to 0.1%-0.3% of the recipe per type of fiber. For example: 0.3% Vegetable Fiber  Linseed + 0.2% Citrus Fibre. 
• For completely clean label ice creams and sorbets, combine flaxseed fiber with citrus fiber for optimal texture and stability.
• For a more velvety effect, Textur Fiber can help a lot, with a dosage of about 1gr/kg (0.1%) it already gives a better consistency.

Which thickeners do they correspond to?

Flaxseed fiber is comparable to Tara seed flour, Citrus Fiber to Carob seed flour and Textur Fiber to Guar seed flour.
Of course, these comparisons should be taken with a pinch of salt. , but they can help in a practical sense to understand the type of structure and absorption they generate.

Want more emulsion, overrun and creaminess? Alphacyclodextrin has you covered!

Aphacyclodextrin SaporePuro in ice cream works very well as a substitute for emulsifiers, increasing the overrun (air) in the ice cream and consequently will give more creaminess to both ice creams and sorbets. 

Aphacyclodextrin , also known as Cyclic Dextrin, represents  the new frontier for those who want to create clean label ice creams , an impeccable taste experience and a positive ecological footprint. This extraordinary additive, available in the 250 g format, stands out for its versatility and its unique characteristics.

Scientific research conducted by the Gelato Products Group of Unione Italiana Food at the Defens of the University of Milan has demonstrated the effectiveness of alphacyclodextrin as an alternative to traditional additives. Added to the white base, together with milk phospholipids and citrus fibers, it allows for a structured, soft and light gelato, with greater resistance to melting.

Recommended dosage? From 0.5g to 2g per kg of ice cream.

A good ice cream without additives!

In conclusion, SaporePuro plant fibers offer a unique opportunity to create clean label ice creams and sorbets that meet the needs of modern consumers.
