Some ingredients used to rebuild the structural properties of dairy-free products can affect the flavor of the dessert. Vegan Boost masks those flavors and accentuates the buttery and creamy flavors to deliver a more authentic experience to a range of plant-based desserts.
Vegan Boost is available in liquid and powder formats. It also comes in a higher strength rate, Vegan Boost Extra.
According to a study conducted by I.T.S., the addition of Vegan Boost Extra enhanced the rich, creamy and buttery characteristics and delivered more fatty notes to a dairy-free cupcake and brioche. A group of panelists judged the vegan desserts with and without the addition of Vegan Boost.
Carl Smith, head of Innovations at I.T.S, said, “Consumer demand for plant-based products is rising, but until now, the bakery sector has been a little behind the curve. Our bakery customers know we are easy to work with and they asked us for help in enhancing the flavor of their vegan cakes and bakery ranges. We set about creating a straightforward alternative to the options currently available from the larger flavor houses. Vegan Boost offers no-nonsense flavors, and it provides an easy-to-use solution that is proven to work.
Smith continued, “At I.T.S we’re passionate about helping our customers stay a step ahead of their competitors. That’s why we developed our message “A Braver Flavor,” which describes both who we are and the benefits we offer. We stand with anyone who wants to do something new, something different or something braver. And we believe Vegan Boost thrusts the plant-based bakery sector into a new era of innovation.”
