AAK, an ingredient supplier of value-adding specialty fats and oils, recently highlighted its latest innovation, AAK Cebes 2900 NH series. This blend of palm kernel and palm oils aims to add a touch of indulgence to any chocolatey treat. It is non-hydrogenated with a reportedly smooth melt profile.
“The Cebes 2900 NH series is our latest compound coating fat designed to help manufacturers create delightfully delicious confectionery products,” says Ryan Branch, sr. marketing manager, AAK USA, Inc. “This non-hydrogenated solution makes it easy to create cleaner label items while still maintaining the taste and texture consumers expect of chocolatey treats.
