AAK will showcase its portfolio of multi-functional fat and oil solutions at SupplySide West (SSW) in Las Vegas, October 23-27, 2023. Attendees are invited to visit the AAK team at SSW booth #2165 where they can learn how to make better tasting, healthier and more sustainable food and nutritional products using AAK’s line of plant-based fat and oil solutions.
“Consumer desire for better products—interpreted in many different ways—means today’s manufacturers are trying to re-balance ingredients across a range of applications, including the use of fats and oils,” said Octavio Díaz de Leon, President Americas, and Vice President AAK AB. “These key components are crucial in creating the taste, mouthfeel and nutritional profile of a wide variety of products. AAK’s plant-based fat and oil solutions are designed to meet today’s dynamic marketplace demands and help manufacturers overcome tricky formulation challenges to deliver the functionality, consumer appeal and shelf life of a wide range of applications including special nutrition products.”
Visitors to SSW booth #2165 can sample several great-tasting concepts and learn more about AAK’s assortment of innovative and nutritional plant-based fat and oil solutions including:
• Plant-based Chicken Nugget – Tastes, looks and cooks like traditional chicken, for delicious snacks that consumers will love. Not only do they feature a realistic taste, texture and succulence, their adherence and coloring after cooking are as golden and great tasting as consumers expect. AAK’s AkoVeg™ 117-14, a palm-free solution, is used to create a plant-based chicken nugget that exceeds consumer expectations.
• Plant-based Chipotle Mayo – Plant-based creamy mayo with a slightly spicy, bold chipotle flavor. Thick and rich, this plant-based chipotle mayo acts as a dressing, dip and spread, and features the taste and texture of real chipotle mayonnaise. Not only that, but it is also dairy- and egg-free, certified plant-based and Kosher Pareve. Consumers find this to be a delicious dip or spread that’s great for both cold and hot applications. Don’t forget to try it with our Plant-based Chicken Nuggets!
