Visitors are encouraged to stop by booth #3572 to discover how AAK’s diverse array of fats and oils can help them solve today’s most prominent industry challenges, from formulating “better-for-you” products that maintain desirable taste and texture to supporting sustainability, across a wide range of applications.
“AAK is more than an ingredient supplier; we partner with manufacturers to overcome challenges and advance innovation with tailored fat and oil solutions that provide the foundation for great-tasting foods and beverages,” said Erhan Yildiz, Customer Innovation Director, AAK USA & Canada.
“Our products help to enhance nutritional profile, functionality and sensory appeal across a multitude of applications, while offering labelling benefits such as 100% plant-based, non-GMO and more."
"This year, we are excited to showcase a plant-based frozen dessert and protein-rich chocolate bar that attendees can sample to taste for themselves how value-adding fats and oils from AAK can elevate the eating experience in high-demand product categories.”
Attendees who visit booth #3572 can experience the AAK fats and oils portfolio firsthand with sweet treats that demonstrate how plant-based and protein-rich products do not have to compromise on flavour and texture:
- Plant-Based Frozen Dessert: Enjoy a creamy, plant-based frozen dessert made with a blend of coconut oil and shea olein from AAK. Featuring AkoPlanet PBI 188-44, this consumer-pleasing, better-for-you dessert is lower in saturated fat than standard coconut oil and delivers enhanced smoothness and creaminess. The unique blend creates a more uniform texture than standard coconut oil and more viscosity in the frozen dessert base, delivering a rich, satisfying mouthcoating and clean melt-away. Attendees will be able to sample this dessert in a refreshing vanilla or pistachio flavour, with the option to add crushed pistachios for further flavour and crunch.
- Protein-Rich Chocolate Compound Bar: Top off your frozen treat with a protein-rich compound chocolate bar. This satiating bite is fortified with whey protein for a delicious indulgence supported by functional benefits. Cebes 29-82 palm kernel and palm oils from AAK also enhance the sensory experience with a smooth, satisfying texture.
“Sustainability is a hallmark of AAK fats and oils,” said Eric Slaubaugh, National Sales Director, AAK USA, Inc.
“We are committed to sustainable practices from the crop to the store shelf. We can also help manufacturers meet requirements for desirable label claims, such as non-GMO, RSPO and plant-based."
"From confectionery and bakery to special nutrition and plant-based alternatives, AAK offers a wide range of products to enhance sensory qualities and drive innovation.”
