MUSHROOMS






Whether you are looking for a spray dried mushroom powder, a liquid mushroom concentrate or an air dried speciality mushroom, Bensons have an ingredient that will deliver that all important mushroom flavour.

Powder and Concentrate.
Bensons work with Scelta, one of Europe’s leading mushroom processors to bring you a range of convenient and safe ingredients, ready to use in your recipe.

Our spray dried mushroom powders and mushroom concentrates are produced at a brand new dedicated mushroom facility in the Netherlands, under the Blanchaud brand, one of the best known names in the mushroom industry.  Many years of expertise are employed to preserve the flavours of the original raw material – Champignons de Paris.

Our mushroom extract is a fine, free flowing powder that can be easily blended with other ingredients to produce dry soup mixes, seasoning blends and flavourings.  A non-gm maltodextrin carrier is used as a carrier.

Mushroom concentrate is designed for uses where a paste or liquid is more appropriate.  It is ideal for wet soups, sauces and speciality products such as ravioli fillings.

Speciality Dried Mushrooms.
To complete the range, Bensons also offer a full range of dehydrated and freeze dried mushrooms in various cut sizes, granules and powder to suit all applications. We can also provide you with tailor-made mixes to your own recipe.

Cultivated varieties include Champignons de Paris – slices and buttons, Crimini, Shiitake and Black fungus.

The wild mushroom selection includes Boletus edulis (Cepes / Porcini), Boletus Luteus (Penny Bun / Slippery Jack), Chanterelles and Morels.

SPRAY DRIED EGG POWDERS

    
  
Bensons have been  involved with eggs for over twenty years, supplying the best quality egg powders to food manufacturers in the United Kingdom.

The last few years have seen some major changes to the industry, the most important of which are the new EU regulations covering the welfare of hens. Since the start of 2013 hens must be housed in 'enriched' cages, which provide more room and better facilities than previously. There is also of course a trend towards Free Range egg products. All of our egg powders conform fully to these new requirements.


We source our egg powders only from European suppliers who are able to meet the stringent requirements of our customers, incorporating the very latest ideas for cost effective processing whilst maintaining the highest levels of product quality and hygiene. 


The design of the production process, plus continuous computerised monitoring of all aspects of the quality assurance system results in an ingredient in which customers can be fully confident. We believe that process control is one of the most important factors to ensure the production of top quality ingredients.

We offer a full range of powders, suitable for use in many food industry applications. The main types available are listed below, but please contact us if your intended use is more specialised as we may well be able to design an individual specification for you.


Egg White Powder - Standard
Used where the binding and coagulative properties of albumen are required.


Egg White Powder – High Whip
Useful for confectionery and other applications where high whipping properties are desired.

Whole Egg Powder
Used as a replacement for liquid egg.


Egg Yolk Powder - Standard
Used to enrich ice cream, sauces and mayonnaise.

Egg Yolk Powder - High Heat
A specially developed Egg Yolk Powder for use where the final product receives a heat treatment to provide a longer shelf life.

MISO – PASTES and POWDER

 

Miso has been used as a flavouring ingredient for over 2,000 years in Japan and the Orient and is one of the world’s most important foods derived from soya.  It combines the goodness of soya beans with a fermentation process resulting in a nutritious and highly beneficial seasoning.  The versatility of miso is increased by the variety of types and colours available, leading to miso being used in sauces, soups, marinades, dressings and dips.

Miso is a soya based paste that is made by mixing cooked soy beans, salt, grain, such as barley or rice and a starter culture (koji).  The many varieties are classified by colour - the darker miso, which has been aged longer, has a stronger, more savoury flavour, whilst the lighter white and yellow misos tend to be less salty, even adding subtle sweet notes in certain circumstances.

Whilst one cannot claim that miso is low in salt or sodium, it can be used to aid salt replacement because the flavour is stronger than that of salt and when combined with other ingredients can have a synergistic effect resulting in less sodium being necessary to achieve the desired flavour.

Our miso is produced by Miyako Oriental Foods under the ‘Cold Mountain’ Brand and is made from organic soy beans to guarantee a non-gm ingredient. We currently offer six types of miso, in both paste and freeze dried forms for industrial use, the details of which are below.  We are also able to provide Black Soybean paste and powder.

Varieties of Miso

Light Yellow Miso
- Typical Japanese style, with a light and refreshing aroma.
