Van Drunen Farms’ freeze-dried canned pears can be used to add pear flavor to baked items, bars, snacks and hot and cold cereals. A light syrup gives the pears a unique sweetness, while freeze-drying dehydrates their raw material, retains their naturally sweet taste and lengthens their shelf life. Food processors can choose from 3 mm and 3/8-in. diced sizes.

Tate & Lyle extends its native starch portfolio to include GMO-free extra dry starches with low moisture content to aid dry mix producers. Merizet 116 and 118 undergo an additional drying step to aid the formulation of frozen dough. These starches also play a considerable role in preventing moisture pickup during storage, and are particularly suited to tropical markets where humidity is a challenge both in terms of production and shelf life. Furthermore, Merizet 116 and 118 do not change a product’s viscosity profile.
