   AGRANA showcases new food trends at Food Ingredients Europe

   The Austrian foods group AGRANA will be present at the Food Ingredients
   Europe event, one of the most important trade fairs for foods and
   beverages, in Frankfurt (28 – 30 November 2023) to show off the wide range
   of products from its fruit preparations, fruit juice concentrates, starch
   and sugar divisions.

    

   At the FiE in Frankfurt, and alongside AUSTRIA Juice, a joint venture
   between AGRANA and Raiffeisen Ware Austria, AGRANA will be addressing
   current nutritional and beverage trends, with an ever-stronger focus on
   plant-based concepts such as yoghurt alternatives and meat substitutes.
   This will involve demonstrating various concepts for manufacturers of
   yoghurt products and plant-based yoghurt alternatives as well as solutions
   for entirely plant-based traditional dishes.

   The trade fair highlights also include vegan product variants as all-in
   solutions, involving fruit inclusions already mixed with plant-based
   yoghurt alternatives meaning that food producers only need to package the
   finished product. For example, visitors will be able to taste, among other
   culinary delights, an energising coffee drink with guarana based on
   coconut, a creamy, spoonable dessert based on oats with pieces of mandarin
   cake, vegan, chocolate-covered mousse kisses with a high fruit content and
   both vegan tuna and curried chicken spreads.

   AGRANA will also by relying on the flavouring expertise of AUSTRIA Juice
   to present a new fruit preparation with plant extracts for yoghurts at the
   FiE: blueberry with lavender. This product novelty joins other aromatic
   combinations such as ginger/lemon/hemp as well as mate/lemon.

   AGRANA is also offering new taste combinations for the ice cream industry,
   a growing market in Europe, such as parmesan ice cream with coffee swirls
   and a mango and passion fruit sorbet with baobab and chilli inclusions.

    

   Live cooking at the chef’s table – plant-based variants of traditional
   dishes

   AGRANA’s starch division, widely known for its diverse GMO-free starch
   products based on corn, potatoes and wheat, will also be showcasing some
   surprises for the dinner table at the FiE fair. At the chef’s table, where
   live cooking will be taking place, the menu will include curried sausage
   and meatballs with mashed potato, albeit completely plant-based. All of
   the recipes include only natural ingredients and are free of methyl
   cellulose. Textured wheat protein as well as cold-water swelling corn
   starch and potato fibres ensure the right mouthfeel sensation.

   Corn starch, rice flour and potato fibres are the main constituents of two
   further formulations which have recently been developed to serve consumers
   wanting gluten-free products: toast bread and waffles.

   AGRANA’s broad product range is rounded off by its sugar division, with
   specialities such as icing, granulated and yellow sugars.

    

   Betaine drinks for more stamina and strength

   A further premium-quality product from AGRANA’s sugar division is its
   betaine. Betaine is obtained from sugar beet molasses and has numerous
   practical applications. Betaine has a positive nutritional impact on our
   fluid balance and metabolism as well as promoting physical performance and
   stamina. In order to demonstrate the positive characteristics of this
   natural ingredient, two beverage concepts, which have been developed by
   AGRANA together with AUSTRIA Juice, can be tasted at the FiE stand: an
   isotonic sports drink with red berry juice and corn starch, on the one
   hand, and an energy drink with vitamins, caffeine and betaine, to replace
   taurine, on the other.

   Sport drinks, such as isotonic beverages, are also one of the trends
   highlighted by AUSTRIA Juice at the FiE. These are not only thirst
   quenchers to compensate for fluid loss but have been specially developed
   to effectively replace fluids and nutrients lost during physical activity.
   Austria Juice's formulations focus on sugar reduction, natural ingredients
   and nutritional enrichment by means of electrolytes and carbohydrates.
