The “super fruit” juice trend has opened the door to new opportunities for sugar confectionery.
Danisco has the ideal ingredients and formats to deliver the health benefits of fruit juice in a variety of delicious confectionery treats.
Products containing exotic “super fruit” juices such as açai, goji, pomegranate and yumberry, along with familiar fruit juices like cranberry, blueberry and raspberry, offer high levels of antioxidants and health-promoting properties.
These “super fruit” juice products can be positioned as “better for you” when compared to their traditional counterparts.
Danisco’s new demo kit, called Set the Juices Loose!, features great tasting confectionery products with the added benefits including pure fruit juice, no added colours and acids.
Utilising three flavour systems — apricot/orange; raspberry/yumberry; and pomegranate/raspberry/blueberry — the Set the Juices Loose! kit is comprised of four candy formats made with Danisco ingredients for additional health benefits.
