BreadPartner introduces clean label egg replacer Naturell Soleil
The replacer acts as a reducer in chemically leavened products, including muffins and cakes.
US – BreadPartners has launched Naturell Soleil, a complete egg substitute in all yeast-raised doughs
According to the company, the new offering is non-GMO, free from common allergens and maintains essential properties such as emulsification, texture, structure, color, and flavor.
“Naturell Soleil was carefully crafted to be allergen-free, clean label, and non-GMO, offering a sustainable solution for those looking to replace eggs due to market shortages and rising egg prices,” Joe Gontowski, the R&D manager at BreadPartners, stated.
He added that Naturell Soleil works effectively as a 100% egg replacer in yeast-raised recipes and as a reducer in chemically leavened goods, providing necessary structure and moisture without sacrificing taste or texture.
Gontowski emphasized that this egg replacer helps address supply challenges and ensures consistency and quality in baked products.
He noted that Naturell Soleil allows bakeries to achieve price stability and maintain a secure supply chain while realizing significant cost savings, ensuring financial stability.
According to Brandessence Market Research, the global egg substitute market, valued at approximately US$1.92 billion in 2021, is projected to reach $3.07 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.90%.
There is a growing demand for egg substitutes in bakery applications due to health concerns such as phenylketonuria, egg allergies, and cholesterol issues. Dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian lifestyles as well as religious beliefs, are also driving the shift towards egg-free baked goods.
Additionally, the rising costs of poultry feed and overall market instability have compounded these issues. Rabobank’s global egg price monitor hit a record high in Q1 2023, with the index surpassing 250; this means prices are now 2.5 times higher than in the reference year of 2007 and have increased over 100% since last year.
Egg replacers present a compelling option for bakers looking to manage rising raw material costs while also providing marketing opportunities for products aimed at those with egg allergies or individuals seeking plant-based alternatives.
Founded in 2007, BreadPartners is a leading manufacturer of innovative bread and cake ingredient technologies and solutions, ensuring product consistency, quality, and performance.
