At the heart of Taura Natural Ingredients’ success is the Ultra Rapid Concentration or URC® process technology. Concentrating the taste, texture and natural goodness of fruit, the URC® process creates the most functionally advanced fruit pieces, flakes and pastes in the global market.
Originally developed in 1991 in response to market requirements for fruit snacks and functional whole fruit ingredients, the URC® process is able to concentrate blends of heat sensitive, viscous fruit or vegetables purees to less than 10% moisture in 60 seconds. The rapid continuous processing provides consistent product quality and ensures the raw ingredients retain their primary flavour, colour and nutritional characteristics.
Ingredient profiles and product formats are easily adapted to suit a range of new product developments including water activity, bake stability and texture. Flavour blends, natural and herbal extracts and fortification options are possible, allowing manufacturers to quickly respond to consumer trends.
URC® products are designed to meet the needs of today’s manufacturing processes while delivering great tasting, good-for-you products that consumers love.
