Inclusion Technologies new line of coated sugars

Company: Inclusion Technologies

Ingredient Snapshot: Inclusion Technologies recently introduced a new line of allergen-free coated sugars under the Bits-O-Flavor brand. These new sugars are made with natural ingredients and are available in several different sizes (fine and granular) and in a wide range of impactful flavors and colors including: apple, blueberry, cherry, cinnamon, cappuccino, caramel, chocolate, chocolate mint, lemon, lime, maple, mocha, orange, peppermint, raspberry, salted caramel, strawberry, and vanilla. These products are highly flavored and colored and then “sealed” with a coating fat to protect the natural flavors and colors and allow for improved stability in finished applications.

Dennis Reid, vice president of marketing and business development, said: “These new coated sugars are designed to add a burst of color, flavor, texture, and crunch to a variety of end-use products and are an easy and convenient way for companies to offer line extensions of existing brands or to introduce brand new ones.”

The coated ingredients are designed for post-bake topical applications, and not designed to withstand baking or other processing temperatures above 140 F.
