ADM launches lower saturated fat ice cream coatings
11 October 2010 – deZaan chocolate from ADM Cocoa has launched a range of low saturated fat ice cream coatings, developed in close collaboration with ADM Oils and Fats. The new vegetable fat system used in the ice cream coatings is an alternative to coconut oil, which is higher in saturated fat.
The new fat contains 43% less saturated fat than coconut oil yet offers the same characteristics when used in a chocolate flavour ice cream coating – clean snap, smooth texture, fast melting profile at body temperature, quick flavour release and rapid solidification on frozen foods.
Simon Godden, NPD manager, ADM Cocoa Classic Couverture, comments, “With a 40 per cent reduction in saturated fat compared to standard ice cream coating, we can provide a high quality alternative for ice cream manufacturers looking to meet consumer demand and industry guidelines for reduced saturated fat products.”
