Specialty food ingredients are typically added to food or beverage substrates to obtain the desired preservation, texture, emulsification, flavor and color results, and to help process and provide additional health dimensions to the produced foods. They are all key to guaranteeing that consumers have access to a wide range of food products.
Aprofood provides high-quality specialty food ingredients for applications in a wide range of food categories, from bakery, dairy, beverage and confectionery to nutritional supplements and nutraceuticals, and our products are categorized into four main groups based on their function in processed foods as follows.
Functional ingredients are bioactive compounds that have the potential to affect health and go beyond their basic nutritional value, and are used in the manufacture of functional foods, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements and so on.
