Foodoo: A Form of Magic at IFT

ne of the exhibitors at the 2008 IFT Food Expo will be showcasing a Foodoo Caf at its booth. Which brings to mind the question: If there is such a thing as foodoo, what kind of foodoo do you do? Or to put it another way, what kind of power does foodoo possess to help todays food formulator address a changing marketplace? Naturally, the term shouldnt be confused with voodoo, which is a type of religion characterized by certain rituals closely associated with nature. And for those who watch movies late at night, it might conjure up an image of a zombie or two, as well. No, foodoo is nothing like that. If we were to guess, it might mean the magic that happens when food science, technology, and culinary artistry come together to produce innovative products that foreshadow emerging trends and the things to come in the marketplace. If that is so, we can expect to see a lot of foodoo being practiced at this years show in New Orleans. For example, imagine a natural colorant that enables food-product developers to obtain a shelf-stable blue hue at a lower pH than conventional anthocyanin-based products. Or an acid marshmallow that has a low-pH environment necessary for the incorporation of citrus avors such as lime, lemon, or grapefruit. Or an enzyme that can be used to reduce acrylamide formation. Or a wide range of new avor concepts for beer. When you think of New Orleans cuisine, you may not necessarily think of blueberries. But that will change when you visit some area restaurants that feature blueberry-inspired menu items. The Blueberry Restaurant Guide contains information about restaurants that serve sweet and savory dishes containing blueberries. Several ingredient developments promise to enhance or modify the avors of nished products. Soy sauce, yeast extracts, Asian sauces, and reduced-sodium blends are all part of this foodoo kit. The foodoo gods will be working their magic on a wide range of innovative applications. How about a Floribbean crab cake with a chimichurri drizzle served with cooling lime and habanero plantains? Or hash browns that have been reformulated with cheese for a tasty breakfast item, Cheesy Hash Browns? Or a wide range of snacks made with new soybean oils? Or a Cajun-inspired Turducken served with a sweet potato crawsh spread on a hush puppy andouille pancake? And if you should happen to order a Double Bourbon and Cola, keep in mind that things have denitely been jazzed up around here. This prototype happens to feature Bourbon vanilla ice cream twisted with a Bourbon-, whisky-, and cola-avored water ice. Several companies also will be celebrating their anniversaries, and as part of the festivities, will be launching new developments. And many others are expanding their business efforts by forming strategic alliances, building new development and processing facilities, and introducing their ingredients into new food products and markets. Is there no end to the magic of foodoo? Well, youll have to decide for yourself as you go through the following pages of this Ingredients preview. And if you should happen to see a zombie at this years IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo, tell him that hes at the wrong place. Based on the wide range of innovations highlighted in the preview, everyones wide awake here and alive with new ideas.
The foodoo gods will be busy introducing new ingredients and applications at the 2008 IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo. Shown here is a Floribbean crab cake made with tantalizing avors.

C OLOR S Natural colorant provides shelf-stable blue hue

A natural colorant enables food product developers to obtain a shelf-stable blue hue at a lower pH than conventional anthocyaninbased products. Available in liquid or powdered form, it increases the range of foods that can be formulated with a non-synthetic blue colorant. Anthocyanins, whether derived from fruit or vegetable juices, exhibit a reversible molecular structural changefrom red to purple to blue as the pH of their environment changes from acidic to basic. This innovation, however, demonstrates a shelf-stable blue hue at pH 5.58.0, whereas anthocyanins normally demonstrate a faded and unstable purple hue at pH 5.5. The water-soluble blue colorant, derived from anthocyanins extracted from vegetable juice, recently obtained U.S. Patent No. 7279189. Water-soluble green colorants can be created by adding a variety of yellow colorants to the natural blue colorant. Also available is a new brochure that provides a guide for using blends of natural colors to replace synthetic options. Improved blending of natural colors helps maximize attributes and enhance product stability compared to using a single natural colorant. Selecting the best-performing natural colorant blend requires a thorough understanding of the specic application. D.D.

EGGS Resources highlight the functionality of the egg

Reducing the sodium content in certain applications can affect product integrity and stability. Egg products can help, as they are capable of binding other ingredients, providing structure and stability, and assisting with moisture migration while not conicting with avors of other ingredients. Eggs can foam, leaven, bind, thicken, coat, color, emulsify, and control crystallization, making many food formulas possible. Custom-blended egg products that include carbohydrates, gums, starches, sugar, and salt are available to meet manufacturers specications and to improve functional performance. To simplify your search for an egg product supplier that will meet your needs, visit the newly revised EGGSolutions section of American Egg Boards Web site to learn about the many varieties of dried, refrigerated, and frozen egg products and cross-reference the products to processors and distributors.

Starting the day with an egg

New research published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition suggests that starting the day with an egg breakfast can reduce hunger and help reduce caloric intake by more than 400 calories over the next 24 hours. Researchers discovered that compared to a bagel-based breakfast of equal weight, the egg breakfast induced greater satiety and signicantly reduced the participants food intake for the rest of the day. Eggs have an impressive macronutrient composition to contribute to their satiety impact. Further processed egg products also supply excellent functionality, as demonstrated by studies that compare their bene ts vs various egg replacers in products such as angel food cake, French Vanilla ice cream, and pasta. At a 2008 IFT Supplier Solutions Session, the American Egg Board will give a presentation on the results of these studies. The session will also provide new research that uncovers more health bene ts derived from egg consumption.

Insoluble bers offer functionality benets in meat products

Over the years, many types of insoluble bers have been applied to a wide variety of food products. In particular, the baking and cereal industries have made use of the nutritional and functionality properties of bers in their products. The meat industry, however, has not adopted the use of bers in the same widespread manner, owing primarily to the prohibition on nutrient fortication. Aside from fortication, insoluble bers offer meat producers the ability to alter the texture and bite of their products. In particular, the use of mechanically deboned/ separated meat products can result in textural and functionality changes compared to conventionally prepared products. The use of insoluble, colloidal berseither alone or in combination with non-colloidal insoluble berscan restore some of the lost textural properties and water-holding capacity to meat formulas incorporating mechanically deboned/separated meat components. Representatives will be available to discuss how insoluble bers and colloidal insoluble bers offer a viable solution to mitigate some of these challenges while at the same time help to provide further economic bene t to manufacturers.

Fiber ingredient increases yields in meat applications

A ber ingredient, Citri-Fi 100M40, has an extra-ne particle size (averaging 3540 microns), making it suitable for injecting into whole-muscle meat and poultry products to increase yields. It can also be used as an alternative to hydrocolloids and phosphates, and can serve as a mechanism for carrying avors and oils. For example, in whole-muscle meat products, the ingredient can replace sodium tripolyphosphates, eliminating purge and improving yields. Compared to chicken that has sodium tripolyphosphates at

0.5% and 3.6% purge after tumbling, the ber ingredient at the same dosage can reduce the purge down to zero. This results in a 3.6% increased yield. An additional bene t of the ingredient is that it is not detectable in the mouth and is neutral in terms of avor. This means that it can be used in sauce, dairy, and dressing applications to utilize the high water-binding capacity, thickening, and fat-replacement properties without being detected in the mouth. The high degree of internal surface area of the ingredient leaves a larger number of bonding sites available for strong hydrogen bonding and makes an amorphous ber structure that is special compared to other bers. A presentation on this ingredient and the functionality properties it offers in meat products and other applications will be given at a New Products & Technologies session, held on Sunday afternoon, June 29.

ENZYMES Enzyme reduces acrylamide formation

Acrylamide is classied by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as probably carcinogenic to humans based on studies conducted in mice and rats. The potential risk posed to humans by dietary exposure to acrylamide is not yet known, but numerous studies are currently in progress to collect the data needed to make an informed evaluation. The main mechanism for acrylamide formation in starchy foods involves two common components of these foods: reducing sugars and the amino acid asparagines. The sugars react with asparagines when the food is heated, andthrough a series of reactionsthe side chain of asparagines is converted to acrylamide. These reactions, which produce acrylamide, are a small part of a broader set of heat-induced reactions called Maillard reactions that produce the brown color and characteristic tasty avor of baked, fried, and toasted foods. One very effective means of reducing acrylamide formation is the removal of asparagine from starchy foods, using the enzyme asparaginase. The enzyme converts asparagine to another common amino acid, aspartic acid, which will not act as a precursor to acrylamide formation. This can be achieved in many foods by simply blending asparaginase into the dough before the nal product is baked or fried. When using asparaginase, the nal baking or frying process is undisturbed, and Maillard reactions in general, except those involving asparagines, are unaffected. This means that foods produced with asparaginase look and taste the same as untreated foods.

COMPA N Y N E WS Happy birthday to Morton Salt!

Morton Salt Co. is celebrating its 160th anniversary, and to help commemorate this event, Morton representatives will serve birthday cake at the booth during scheduled times. The company began in 1848 in Chicago as Richmond & Co. Joy Morton, whose father was J. Sterling Morton, the Secretary of Agriculture under President Grover Cleveland, acquired a major interest in the company and renamed it Joy Morton & Co. In 1910, it was once again renamed, this time to Morton Salt Co. The company in 1911 began incorporating magnesium carbonate, an anti-caking agent, into salt, leading to the creation of the Morton Umbrella Girl and the slogan, When It Rains It Pours . The logo appeared in 1914 on packages of table salt and in a series of Good Housekeeping magazine advertisements. Over the years, the Umbrella Girl has undergone several makeovers to modernize her look. Morton launched iodized salt in 1924 to help prevent the development of goiter, a major health problem at the time. In the 1960s, the company pioneered the concept of using salt and potassium chloride mixtures for sodium reduction, and it continues to research that area today. In 2007, the company introduced Salt Balance Salt Blend reduced-sodium product that has 20% less sodium but delivers 100% salt taste. Morton Salt, www. mortonsalt.com, Booth 2423
