Macphie, the UK’s leading independent food ingredients manufacturer, has unveiled a range of innovative, low glycaemic index (GI) ingredients:

Seeduction™ is a great tasting, low GI multiseed bread concentrate. Packed with sunflower seeds, linseeds, pumpkin seeds and oats, it is an extremely versatile concentrate for producing loaves, rolls and even croissants. Available in 8kg and 16kg bags.

Satisfaction™ is a range of indulgent, low GI cake mixes, which are available in plain and chocolate varieties. Ideal for producing muffins, loaf cakes and tray bakes. Available in 10kg bags.

Paula Cormack, Macphie strategic marketing manager, says: “As consumers become more health-savvy, the focus on slimming has shifted to a broader, longer-term desire to improve well-being. Studies show that consumers consider low GI to be a credible signpost for healthier food choices and the low GI diet is taking the UK by storm. It is scientifically proven to help consumers to banish cravings, lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle.”

“At Macphie we believe in developing ingredients that not only taste great but are good for you. With millions of Britons getting ready to shape up and lose weight for the summer, Seeduction™ and Satisfaction™ present bakers and caterers with a real opportunity to target health-savvy consumers and dieters. For example, it’s easy to switch to Seeduction™ multiseed bread, which has a GI rating of 52, compared to ordinary white bread, which has a GI rating of 71. Macphie has been working with leading independent food scientists to test the GI rating. Not only are they delicious, they provide a slow steady release of energy and can keep you feeling fuller for longer.“
