Trends from Anuga: shaping the future of food and drink

From:FoodBev

How do you see the food and drink sector shaping up? At Anuga 2015 there are plenty of new trends and other niche sectors opening up as people strive to keep up with the demands of today’s health-conscious consumer.

Welch’s, the biggest seller of grape juice in the US, is diversifying into dried fruit pieces for global bakery, confectionery and dairy products with its Fruitworx range. We spoke with vice-president international sales Wayne Lutomski about the move into Europe with concentrated grape juice, enabling the formulation of all sorts of healthy beverages.

While Stamatis Baknis, the Greek CEO of the Modello Group, has introduced Aloe Love iced tea in striking shrink-sleeve premium glass bottles – rather similar to those of AriZona Beverages but this time with pomegranate and passion fruit flavours and aloe vera gel in cubes for a textured burst of flavour. The aloe love range also include apple, lime, melon and strawberry flavours.

Two more technical favourites of the day include the Coolio range of chillers – some with digital Screens that connect to your mobile phone should you choose to zap it and give you a more personalised experience. While comprehenisve beverage ranges for Sport, women, coffee and kids from Isoline use a dosing dispensing cap that keeps the functional powder dry until Point of consumption. The latest BCAALaunch for Sport with Palatinose is designed for slow release of energy avoiding the Crash and burn that can happen with other sweetening formats.  Look out for the Anuga Videos and Podcasts on FoodBev soon.
