Ingredients Company Offers Clean-Label Cake Inclusions

Baked foods ingredients make Parker is now selling a line of clean-label cake inclusions that are shelf-stable and enhance flavor, but are free of artificial flavors and colors, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, preservatives and allergens (including dairy, soy, and nuts). The inclusions are produced using a hot-panning process that leaves lower moisture content in the final product. This allows for a longer shelf life – up to 12 months. Traditional baked goods often have a shelf life of weeks. The inclusions have a crunchy texture when dry, and absorb fat and moisture in ice cream to create a dense mouthfeel similar to real cake.
