Phenolaeis (Cambridge, MA), the supplier of sustainable Palm Fruit Extract, has developed a functional dark chocolate concept available for white labeling. The new functional chocolate contains 72% cacao, ideal for healthier chocolate products with high polyphenolic content, with short runs of 40- to 80-gram bars of dark as well as milk chocolate available for companies to test consumer appeal. The Palm Fruit Extract, a new superfruit derived from the oil of palm fruit using solvent-free, minimally processed handling is composed of at least five natural polyphenols, fibers, carbohydrates and protein. Its soluble fiber is a carrier of various bioactive components.

Beyond the water-soluble polyphenols and phytonutrients, Palm Fruit Extract also offers better mouthfeel, minimizing the bitterness of chocolate and enhancing creaminess, as well as stevia synergy, enabling formulators to deliver great-tasting, sugar-free chocolate by minimizing off flavors. As a water-soluble powder, Palm Fruit Extract is a turnkey base that can be easily incorporated into multiple types of chocolate delivery systems, and finished applications ranging from chocolate-coated healthy grain and protein bars to ready-to-drink beverages.
