URC® Pieces
URC® fruit pieces are value-added alternative to fresh, sugar infused or dried fruit with a unique bake-stability and durability that real fruit pieces lack. The versatile range of dice sizes ensures better fruit dispersion for attractive product appearance.
In high moisture bakery environments such as breads, URC® fruit pieces absorb moisture to become spots of soft fruit bursting with flavour. Simple and easy to use, just add to a wet dough mix after processing and bake.
In low moisture environments such as biscuits and toasts, the low water activity of URC® pieces ensures they retain their soft texture without spoiling the base product.
URC® Pastes
The URC® range of pastes are designed to deliver exceptional bake-stability while delivering soft-mouth feel and sufficient viscosity for the desired application.
Create visible fruit layers or soft centre fills for dry bakery applications including biscuits, wafers and baked bars. Water activity, texture, colour, viscosity, ingredients, fruit content and functionality can be altered to suit your needs.
The high fruit content and low water activity of URC® filling pastes means you can add real fruit nutrition to a wide range of baked formats.
The unique range of flavoured URC® pastes deliver superior functionality and better-for-you sweet and savoury options. Talk to us about your flavour needs from caramel, honey and chocolate to tomato and caramelised onion.
