RAPS Presents New Ingredients for the Baking Industry at iba

RAPS, specialist in innovative spice and flavor concepts, presents its extensive new ingredient range for the bakery industry and retail chains, at the iba trade fair in Munich. The focus will not only be on ready-to-use fillings and toppings made from high-quality raw materials, but also functional, microencapsulated ingredients for optimized dough and product properties.

Aromatic additions for creative snacks

Savory fillings and toppings provide a variety of flavor options in ready-to-eat baked snacks. From meat and fish, to vegan and vegetarian offerings, RAPS delivers numerous fine-tuned flavor components, all individually adapted to customer requirements.

“Hot Jalapeno Cheese” or “Oriental Green Pea Mint” and the popular “Ras el hanout” to name a few, provide innovative new taste experiences. For a vegan filling, the “Plant-based Mediterranean Tuna” is a great option. In addition, RAPS offers herbs and spices in sprinkle or paste format that can be incorporated into dough to give added flavor and an appealing appearance.

RAPS Coatec – functional ingredients for controlled release

In addition to showcasing flavor-boosting ingredients, RAPS will also be showcasing functional inclusions that offer improved product quality, shelf life, handling and processing. The RAPS Coatec process provides functional core materials with a protective layer, shielding them from external influences such as temperature, moisture and oxidation. In addition, the technology enables a controlled release of ingredients. For example, microencapsulated acids and preservatives improve the shelf life and dough properties of tortillas, flatbreads, sandwich and toast bread, as well as bread rolls and buns. Functional carbonates enable improved control of the baking process in cakes and muffins. The RAPS portfolio also includes microencapsulated flavors, sugars and salts.
