Peter Naylor is the UK Director for IMAG Organics, producers of the ingredient Agave Inulin. Peter has been in the ingredients industry for 30 years working with a large range of innovative ingredients and producers in the beverages sector. Peter believes IMAG’s Agave Inulin has recently solved a big problem for NPD beverage projects in the UK. Peter found that producers of plant based milk and low alcohol beverages often struggle to achieve good mouthfeel in their products when they take out other ingredients such as fat and animal sources. They’ve tested various ingredients including other sources of inulin but they just didn’t offer the solubility required to achieve this. What Peter and UK based producers found is that IMAG's Agave Inulin had superior solubility and functionality to anything else they’d tested. It added good mouthfeel, body, natural fibre and a low calorie, slight sweetness from the agave. Peter and his team would love to opportunity to share their experience and knowledge of this special and innovative ingredient with the Innocent Team.
