. GELITA experts in Cotia, Brazil developed the special protein to replace partly the cocoa butter in milk chocolate by valuable protein.
Instant Gel Schoko® is able to replace cocoa butter up to 39% resulting in 25% lower overall fat content in the chocolate. Furthermore saturated fat is reduced by 28%, cholesterol by 15% and calories by 8% whilst the protein content is increased by 75%.
Beside all these additional benefits all original chocolate properties such as color, crystallization or melting point of the cocoa butter and texture and sensory items of the chocolate mass are kept very similar to the standard fat content chocolates.
Important for the chocolate industry is the fact the modification of the recipe can be integrated into the regular existing production process very easily.
For this outstanding innovation in the food ingredients market GELITA was awarded with the silver medal for the “Most innovative Food Ingredient” at the recent FI South America trade show in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Claudia Yamana, Vice President Marketing/Sales of GELITA South America stated: “Instant Gel Schoko®, as a pioneering innovation for chocolate has already generated high interest at leading companies of the chocolate industry. This is not surprising as the world chocolate production is 3.5 million metric tons and the mega trend fat reduction is one of the global goals of the WHO.”
