Ascentra sodium-reducing flavor enhancer from DairiConcepts is a convenient, clean-label, powdered ingredient that naturally amplifies the perception of salt and other savory nuances as it lowers sodium content. Instead of providing an upfront salty “hit,” Ascentra enhances existing savory flavors, yielding a richer, more rounded flavor than is available through traditional, all-salt formulations. Ascentra also provides opportunities to lower ingredient costs by replacing higher-cost ingredients with more economical ones. Made from a proprietary, whole milk-based fermentation process, Ascentra does not contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) or yeast extract. Although rich in potassium, it does not contain potassium chloride, eliminating metallic flavor notes.

Van Drunen Farms’ freeze-dried blueberries are naturally full of flavor and nutrients, low in calories and a good source of antioxidants and vitamin C. They are also 100% natural. During freeze-drying, the cell structure of the berries remains intact, preserving the nutritional value, color, flavor and piece identity of the product better than other drying methods. Just a brief soaking in water brings them back to nearly their original shape, ready to use just like fresh berries. Available in whole, sliced, diced and powder form, these blueberries are an ideal additive to muffins, bagels, scones, confections, cookies, energy bars and snack foods.
