ST. LOUISStratum Nutrition's ApuraGreen kiwifruit paste offers a clean label fat replacement option and extended freshness when used in baked goods, according to new application studies that will be presented during the IFT Annual Meeting on July 13 to July 16 in Chicago.

ApuraGreen's composition allows for softer baked products with an extended shelf life. It is a single, natural ingredient from a whole fruit, and it is non-GMO, gluten-free, and GRAS (generally recognized as safe) with no artificial preservatives or additives.
