Addressing the growing demand for clean label and nutritionally optimised food is both a challenge and an opportunity for food manufacturers.
To provide food producers with new approaches for healthier children’s products, our partner Hydrosol (the Stabiliser Specialist) has expanded its free-from product line. Together with its sister companies SternVitamin and OlbrichtArom, Hydrosol has developed concepts for making reduced sugar and reduced fat dairy and deli products designed specifically for the needs of children.
Dairy products for children
These tailored stabilising and texturing systems have been developed for products aimed at the 5+ age group. The focus was improving nutritional value while using child friendly flavours and declaration friendly ingredients.

Savoury Sauces for children
Ketchup and mayo are childhood favorites (especially if chips are involved!!) but they can be high in sugar and fat. Hydrosol has developed stabilizing systems based on a specific starch and vegetable fibres that are completely clean label and allow for reduced sugar, reduced fat and improved nutritional values:
🍟Clean label system for ketchup
- additional vegetables

🍟Clean label system for mayo style sauce
