Owen Parker, VP, R&D, explained that the new barbecue-flavoured seasoning sticks better to snacks because, “by coating the salt in the seasoning, our new product forms a protective layer to provide better adhesion”.


According to Parker, the oil-dispersible blends can also enhance cinnamon sugar in confectionery products by coating the sugar crystals.
