Enzymatic cereal extract modification: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Standard beet processing yields off-flavors and dark pigments that limit inclusion in premium cereals and confections. This control lever refines the extraction process to isolate specific saccharide profiles while removing bitter saponins and colorants.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Enzymatic cereal extract modification?

Rapid postprandial glycemic response

(14)evidences

High concentrations of simple sugars in cereal and beet extracts limit nutritional profiles and consumer health appeal. Reducing these sugars while maintaining sensory properties addresses metabolic health concerns and regulatory pressures.

High temperature structural instability

(10)evidences

Standard cereal extracts often exhibit undesirable flavor notes or textures that limit their use in premium confectionery. Addressing these organoleptic deficiencies allows for the seamless integration of plant-based ingredients into high-quality chocolate products.
