Baker Perkins has launched an innovative range of 100-per cent fruit snacks and bars for health-conscious consumers. The new ServoGel Natural cooking and depositing process produces a broad range of tasty, healthy and high-value snack products. The fruit snacks are made from a variety of fruit sources, including paste, puree, pulp, juice/juice concentrate, peel and dried fruit. Options include centre-fillings, inclusions such as fruits or nuts, and layers; bars can be left plain or finished with a topping of cereal or nuts. A ServoGel Natural system can sit alongside a fruit processing line to ensure maximum value is extracted from the fruit.

A convenient way for both children and adults to increase fruit intake, these products can be positioned as a 'good for you' alternative to conventional snacks and confectionery, or used to bring interest and variety to the health food market. Both adult and child versions may be fortified with vitamins, calcium, Omega-3 and other functional ingredients to reinforce the healthy positioning.
