]]>Toronto, Ontario, Thursday, April 8, 2010 – The concepts of “super fruits” and “super foods” have become increasingly popular as consumers grow sensitive about what they eat. Phytonutrient content is often a driver behind purchases today as consumers look for potential health benefits in the foods they consume. On April 15, 2010 at the 22nd edition of the CIFST Montreal Section Suppliers’ Night at Place Forzani, 4855 Louis B Mayer, Laval, Quebec, Ingredient Hotline, Inc. will be featuring two innovative products: purple corn juice and chia.
Ingredient Hotline has built an offering of unique South American products including aji pepper pastes and sauces made with rocoto and amarillo peppers, and yacón syrup, an all natural sweetener with an extremely low glycemic index. At this show, Ingredient hotline will be expanding this product line.
Purple corn juice is an all natural peruvian beverage made from purple corn. Like other “purples” such as açaí and blueberries, purple corn claims many health benefits and a high concentration of antioxidants.
Ingredient Hotline will also be demonstrating the use of chia in baking products. Maria Januszczak, Director of Business Development at Ingredient Hotline, explains: “The consumption of omega-3 is a growing trend amongst those in search of a diet that may help improve cardiovascular health, strengthen the nervous system and stop cell aging. Deep-water fish oil has historically been the source of omega-3. Alternative, vegetable sources such as sea algae, flax and chia have been investigated during the last few years due to issues with mercury and toxins found in fish derived products. Chia in particular, is far superior as it contains 18 grams of α-linolenic acid for every 100 grams of seeds, making it the greatest vegetable source of this essential fatty acid.”
Besides omega-3, chia contains antioxidants, protein of good biological value, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium, copper, vitamin A and those from the B-complex. It is cholesterol free, gluten free and uniquely ideal for vegetarian diets.
Ingredient Hotline will also showcase genuine European sourced dehydrated vegetables and vegetable powders.

The yacón fruit resembles that of a root crop that can be eaten fresh, or as a juice, marmalade or as a syrup. The tuber can also be sliced and dehydrated into chips. Other parts of the yacón plant such as the leaves are processed into tea products.
Composed mainly of water and carbohydrates, the sweetness of the tuber comes from a high concentration of oligofructose and a small amount of simple sugars, which is why yacón provides very few calories. With a glycemic index range between 1-3, it is a highly recommended sweetener for diabetics, even better than agave syrup.
Oligofructose, also known as Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) or oligofructan is derived from partial enzymatic hydrolysis inulin. FOS helps nourish and promotes growth of good bacteria, specifically Bifidobacteria in the digestive tract, therefore FOS is considered to be a prebiotic.
To prevent degradation of oligofructose or FOS, the freshly harvested tubers are processed immediately. In the case of yacón syrup, it is evaporated at a temperature below 120°C, thus giving yacón syrup raw food status.
The process to make yacón syrup involves juicing the yacón tubers and then concentrating the juice to about 50-60 Bx. The colour is similar to Maple Syrup and Molasses, but 40% less calories than Maple Syrup and less viscous. There is a new, clarified version of yacón syrup which has a close resemblance to honey.
]]>At this year’s show, Ingredient Hotline is pleased to feature innovative products from our partners Crossroads Spices & Seasonings, RFCar Botanicals, and ABCAR-D.I.C. including:
A complete line of straight spices and seasoning blends. We can also create custom, high performance blends for individual applications.
Aji Pepper pastes and sauces made with Rocoto and Amarillo peppers. Rocoto is a meaty pepper that comes in a variety of vibrant colours, from yellow to red. It is one of the hottest peppers of South America with a generous range of scoville units (from 30,000 to 70,000) depending on the method of preparation. The Amarillo is widely used in South American cooking. Orange in colour, it has a pleasant mild, smoked flavour.
Yacón Syrup is made from 100% Yacón root, a close relative of the Jerusalem artichoke. The process to make yacon syrup involves juicing the yacon tubers and then concentrating the juice to about 50-60 Bx, but with an amazingly low Glycemic Index of 1. It is similar to Maple Syrup in colour, but with 40% less calories and containing Soluble Fibre. It is considered to be a prebiotic.
Swell-dried fruits and vegetables. High quality dried fruit and vegetable products that are natural, crispy, and light without the use of additives are made Using a unique pressure drop drying technology. These products can be consumed directly as a snack or used as an ingredient in applications such as soups, dips, bakery, ice creams, cereal, and food service.
