ADM Cocoa is introducing deZaan™ D11SQ to its line of renowned cocoa powders at Gulfood 2013. The dark red-brown powder confers intense flavour and rich colour to a broad range of products, including bakery, cereals, confectionery and ice-cream.
Ideal for products requiring intense flavour and visual appeal, deZaan™ D11SQ provides a strong, clean cocoa taste and bridges the gap between popular brown and red powders to offer a unique, attractive appearance in end products. ADM Cocoa has launched the product to meet increasing consumer demand. The use of intense flavoured cocoa products has steadily risen over the past 5 years in a number of applications, including bakery, beverages, desserts and ice-cream.
The new powder complements deZaan™’s world-class range of cocoa powders, which includes the versatile deZaan™ D11S and D21S powders and, for specific applications, deZaan™ D11EB extra black powder, deZaan™ F11FR Fresco powder for fermented dairy products and the deZaan™ ZR range for intense chocolate flavour.
deZaan™ D11SQ fits well within ADM Cocoa’s “Less is More” programme, which helps manufacturers lower costs without affecting quality, by using smaller quantities of powder to achieve the same, or better results than conventional products. The new powder provides the same full body flavour and impact level but at a lower dose rate than standard powders.
ADM’s customers benefit from the company’s formulation and technical expertise which is shared via its Advantage Centres in Koog aan deZaan, Netherlands, Liverpool, UK, Mannheim, Germany, Milwaukee, USA and Singapore. Here, customers can access pilot facilities, technical demonstrations and cocoa and chocolate seminars, as well as bespoke technical solutions to their individual challenges. With these facilities and resources, ADM’s resident technologists help customers reduce product development timeframes and improve speed to market.
For more information about the new powder and deZaan’s entire range, ADM experts will be available on stand S2-B32 at Gulfood 2013.
