    Cream cheese preparations

    Fat reduction and high taste sensation for healthier nutrition

    Today, cream cheese preparations, including vegan alternatives, are offered in a variety of flavours, textures, and fat levels. The challenge is to achieve the desired smoothness and creaminess in this variety of products. The consumer also requests a full-bodied texture, even in fat-reduced versions or alternative plant-based products.

    Hydrocolloids such as locust bean gum, and starches are typically used to increase water retention in cream cheese. In the case of clean-label solutions, our multifunctional HERBACEL® AQ® Plus Citrus fibre is the product of choice.

    HERBACEL® AQ® Plus Citrus can be used as single ingredient solution for texturisation of additive-free, fat-reduced cream cheese preparations. The use of citrus fibre in fat-reduced products will balance the lack of mouthfeel and will preserve spreadability. In combination with  hydrocolloids such as Pectin Classic CD 202 citrus fibre helps minimising syneresis.
