Butter Buds' Milk Buds Plus
The specialist in dairy and non-dairy concentrates has launched Milk Buds Plus, a concentrated dairy ingredient that helps manufacturers mimic the taste of American-style chocolate.
Milk Buds Plus deliver a fatty mouthfeel, making it ideal for a variety of confectionery, bakery toppings and fillings and beverages.
“Milk Buds Plus is made from real milk to optimise rich dairy taste and helps manufacturers enhance richness in formulations while delivering the full-bodied mouthfeel, taste and texture of dairy,” said Michael Ivey, national sales director of Butter Buds, Inc.
“The beauty of this ingredient solution is that it delivers the functionality of fresh milk, while masking off-flavours and rounding out harsh notes, to help manufacturers reduce the use of lipidised milk and cream.
“Milk Buds Plus is crafted from real dairy to provide consumers with the true dairy taste and nutrition they want, yet contains virtually no fat, trans-fats or cholesterol. It can also help to standardise dairy taste and is shelf-stable, requiring no refrigeration. Plus, the low application level means you can help your brand stand out with shoppers as a good value for their money.”
Milk Buds Plus is water-soluble, making it easy to add to existing formulations. It requires low usage rates (recommended rate being 0.25% to 1.0%), so producers can reduce total ingredient costs. Also, due to stable pricing compared to dairy commodities, Milk Buds Plus can help control costs and protect profit margins.
“With Butter Buds’ real dairy, you get more than just authentic flavour,” added Ivey.
“You also get real functionality, real cost savings and real speed to market. Our customer-focused R&D department and team of experienced food scientists at our state-of-art production facility in Racine, Wisconsin, develop customised solutions to meet the challenging needs of our customers. We are committed to consistently serving up high-quality ingredients with exceptional customer to keep today’s consumers coming back for more.”
