FRUIT'S PERENNIAL 'A Peel'

摘要

As consumers push for more healthy foods and beverages, manu- facturers can look to fruit when creating new products. Fruit is frequently used in baked goods, desserts, cereals and yogurt, but it's also popping up in energy drinks and snacks; even pet offerings. Most fruit easily fits into consumers' ideas of clean-label foods. Many colors derived from fruit are organic and can be labeled as such. Recent nutrition trends relating to clean ingredients have increased the potential for using fruit in different formats, from dried fruit to powders, purees, extracts and large inclusion chunks with varying moisture levels.
