Hawkins Watts update - April 2009


Caramelised Sugar

This versatile range of products is produced by a controlled heating process of sugar or a mixture of sugars, with no additives, making them natural flavouring agents. Labelled as ‘caramelised sugar’ or ‘burnt sugar’, it is considered a food rather than an additive.

Caramelised Sugar syrupsNew to the range is a dark, highly acid-stable syrup, with a rounded, less bitter flavour profile than other dark caramelised sugar grades. 80/600-01 is suitable for use in energy drinks, cola, ginger beer, juice based drinks, bakery fillings and the spirit industry.

Other popular uses for caramelised sugar are in baked products, where it enhances nut, chocolate and mocha flavour profiles, and ice cream and dairy products.

At the recommended dosages for flavour enhancement, they give a golden colour that is useful in low sugar baked products, dairy products and ice cream where a caramel or “baked” colour and flavour is desired. In beer and spirits, caramelised sugar rounds off the flavour profile and enhances colour.

Caramelised sugar comes in both syrup and powder formats, and organic grades are now also available.

Transfer of FMC Alginate Distribution

Since 1999 Hawkins Watts Ltd has successfully worked in close partnership with Norpro NZ Ltd to distribute alginates in NZ. However, following the recent acquisition of ISP Alginates by FMC BioPolymer USA, HWL has been asked to assume sole responsibility for local alginate distribution. This transfer occurred as of the 2 March 2009.

Both Norpro and HWL have been working through the transition process to ensure there is no disruption to customer service or supply.

All product specifications and orders will remain unchanged. All stock on hand was transferred to HWL before 2nd March 2009, to ensure the deliveries would not be affected.

New Stevia Supplier

We are pleased to advise that we now represent the Dae Pyung Co Ltd Stevia range of natural sweeteners, in both New Zealand and Australia.

SteviaWith increased interest in Steviol Glycosides following their approval by FSANZ In 2008, the Dae Pyung natural sweeteners offer clean taste profiles and less bitter and liquorice-like aftertastes.

Based in South Korea, Dae Pyung have had many years of application experience with Stevia extracts and manufacture Rebaudioside A, a purified extract of approximately 400x sweetness of sucrose and comparatively less ‘off taste’.

Based on trends overseas, we expect Reb A to be the preferred natural sweetener in a range of beverages, fruit preps and dairy products.
