Naturally Reducing Calories Two Innovations in Unison
Agenda Sugar Reduction Technology (SRT & SIT) Fermentation Non-alcoholic fermentation concepts Conclusion 3
Two Technologies Sugar Reduction Technology (SRT & SIT) Fermentation 4
Key Challenge to the Food and Beverage Industry! Pressure on the Food and Beverage Industry to reduce calories Sustainability Fight for agricultural area of the world: energy vs. food Sugar reduction with maintainance of palatable taste Consumer demand for low calorie products fulfilling highest taste expectations Cost Engineering 5
Flavour Solutions for Sugar Reduction 2 new routes SRT: Sugar Reduction Technology replacing of max. 20% brix while maintaining taste and ingredient list SRT Sugar Reduced sugar, reduced cost same taste cost cost SIT: Sweetness Improving Technology replacing 30-50% sugar by HIS and profile balancing flavour SIT Balanced taste profile cost SIT HIS Sugar cost sweetness onset overall sweetness intensity metallic scratchy after taste 6
Sweetness Improving Technology (SIT) Sugar Reduction Technology (SRT) 7
High Intensity Sweeteners applicable for Sugar Reduction Reduction of Sugar Artificial HIS Natural HIS Acesulfame K Alitame Aspartame Cyclamate Neohesperidine Neotame Saccharin Sucralose Stevia Reb A SG 95 variations 8
Sweetness Improving Technology (SIT) for Artificial HIS * Advantages of High Intensity Sweetener - cost efficient - reduces calories to a significant level - What used to be cost driven is now health Disadvantages of High Intensity Sweetener - taste (undesired aftertaste with metallic, scratchy notes) - artificial - Negative press Benefits of the combination of SIT and HIS with Sugar The SIT and artificial HIS help to transfer your high intensity sweetened product to a sugar-like profile and reduces the recipe cost. Applied in a 50:50 (on sweetness intensity) combination of SIT + HIS with sugar allows superior taste with much reduced costs and calories. Due to miscellaneous parameters in RTD products Döhler can provide you with a great Know-How in applying the sweetness improver. 581849 Natural Flavouring (Sugar, SIT) * SIT also proves to be highly efficient to impose sweetness profiles in 100% HIS sweetned products 9
Sweetness Improving Technology (SIT) for Stevia Advantages of Stevia - natural sweetener - zero/low calories Disadvantages of Stevia - taste (undesired aftertaste) - not usable as sole source of sweetness Benefits of the SIT for Stevia The SIT helps to transfer products that are to a significant extend sweetened with stevia to sugar-like profile by covering the undesired aftertaste and enhancing the body. The flavour status remains on a natural level. The combination of SIT and suitable Stevia is to replace 50% sugar in full calorie products. 585974 Natural Flavouring (Sugar, SIT) 10
Carbonated Softdrinks Döhler Sensory Results Pairwise Preference Test Stevia sweetened product Stevia sweetened product with SIT Stevia based 60 % 56 % 40 % 44 % Orange Cola *So far best results within Carbonates, Flavoured Water, Aqua Plus, Coffee drinks and protein drinks With our Döhler Sweetness Improving Technology for Stevia 11 Source: Döhler Sensory & Consumer Science, December 2010
Sweetness Improving Technology (SIT) Sugar Reduction Technology (SRT) 12
Sugar Reduction Technology (SRT) Advantages of sugar - most common sweetener with best sensorial results - known and accepted for centuries as natural sweetener Disadvantages of sugar - expensive sweetening solution with dependence on the price of sugar - high calorific value with increasingly negative reputation Benefits of SRT Sugar Replacement Technology helps to reduce the sugar content by 10-30% while maintaining the same taste. Ingredient list remains unchanged for flavoured products, the added natural flavour is in most cases covered by according declaration. Due to our profound understanding of beverage formulations we guarantee the best possible integration in your individual recipe. 582320 Natural Flavouring (Sugar, SRT) 13

Reason why fermentation Fermentation a wide range of possibilities 1. Preservation/Stabilizing of Food previously used to enhance the shelf life 2. Production of desirable substances which are necessary e.g. antibiotics, food additives 3. Development of flavours generating new flavours e.g. tee, coffee 4. Production of energy biogas plant for renewable energy What comes next? 19
