White Paper - Confectionery for healthy lifestyles

Introduction
This paper describes an innovative process that
allows confectioners to maximise value from the growth market for
candies with a healthy image. It explains the benefits
of a unique range of sugar free/Xylitol combination products, and
functional/medicated confectionery.
Synopsis
The SFX Depositing System developed by Baker Perkins
incorporates innovative cooking and depositing technology enabling
confectionery companies to take advantage of an exciting new family
of products with a highly distinctive taste and mouth
feel. They feature crystallised Xylitol, a
long-established, tooth-friendly sugar substitute.
Combining a Xylitol element with other sugar-free polyols creates a
sophisticated product appealing to adult consumers and commanding a
premium position and price.
It goes a stage beyond sugar-free hard candy, already well accepted
world-wide, by adding a positive dental benefit.
The SFX system also allows extra value, functional ingredients such
as vitamins and breath fresheners to be added to sugar free candy,
and the process may additionally be validated for the production of
medicated confectionery such as nasal decongestants or throat
sweets.
