JRS Silvateam Ingredients S.r.l.

From Calabria to the world, we take pride in our commitment to local sourcing and sustainability. A clear example? The exclusive use of an Italian excellence: bergamot, a unique citrus fruit whose nest is Calabria (Italy), as per JRS Silvateam Ingredients. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, this fruit thrives locally and with our manufacturing plant just around the corner, it becomes a true km 0 raw material.🌿 ✨ This marvellous fruit is a local treasure, used for the production of juices and essential oils, while the peels are sent fresh to our plant, where we extract our premium pectin. What sets us apart? We’re the only company worldwide transforming bergamot peels into pectin, a true uniqueness in our world.   By partnering with regional farmers, we ensure that bergamot is harvested with care, supporting the local economy and reducing our environmental footprint. The result? A premium, locally sourced raw material that enhances the quality and sustainability of our pectin.🍋🟩   #Sustainability #LocalSourcing #Bergamot #Pectin #Innovation #MadeInItaly #Excellence #NaturalIngredients #Calabria

What happens when you bring together passionate experts, innovative ideas and love for baking? A training session full of insights, teamwork and of course… great bread!🥖 ✨Recently, we teamed up with JRS J. Rettenmaier & Söhne for a bakery training in Bergamo, getting our hands in the dough…and into citrus fiber and tara gum science for bakery applications. 👨🍳 Under the guidance of the bread sommelier Gerhard Gröber and the Global Business Line Manager Barbara Zech, our team explored the functionalities of citrus fiber and tara gum in different baked goods, testing existing and new formulations in: ✅ Sandwich bread with fiber ✅ Ciabatta with fiber ✅ Gluten free bread ✅ Gluten free muffins 🔬 Key takeaways ✅ Citrus Fiber enhances fresh-keeping, maintaining baked goods softer and fresher for longer. ✅ Tara gum, in synergy with other ingredients like HPMC, helps structure gluten-free products, mimicking the role of the gluten network. This training wasn’t just about technical knowledge, it was also a fantastic opportunity for collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Working closely with JRS allows us to develop smarter, better solutions that push the boundaries of bakery innovation! A huge thank you to our amazing team for making this all happen: Antonio D'Agostino, Davide Vanoncini, Danilo Gaudio, Maria Assuntina Stillitano, Simona Mazzoleni, Simone Santambrogio, Elio Tironi, Karim Sangaletti and Elena Cattaneo. #BakeryInnovation #FiberScience #GlutenFree #CleanLabel #FoodTech

🎭✨ Carnival season is here and that means one thing: irresistible cream-filled fritters! These golden, crispy and airy delights are a true symbol of Italian tradition, especially when filled with perfect custard cream. But what’s the secret to an exceptionally glossy, smooth and stable filling? Pectin! While classic pastry cream relies on starch or flour as thickeners, using pectin ensures a silky texture, a creamy mouthfeel and a more stable consistency, perfect for easy post oven injection into various applications, such as croissants, doughnuts, pastries and deep-fried treats like fritters! Pectin prevents syneresis and allows the cream to hold its lusciousness inside bakery industrial products. 🍊 By using our Aglupectin LA-S20 in custard cream, you elevate your pastries to a whole new level of indulgence, making them not only delicious but also technically refined. 👉 Write to solutions@silvateam.com to ask for more information about our ingredient! #Carnival #PastryInnovation #Pectin #FoodInnovation

What if a single energy source could do the job of four? At our facility in Rende, we make it happen with a biomethane-powered trigenerator that delivers: ⚡ Electricity for our operations 🌡️ Steam for production processes 💧 Hot water for heating ❄️ Chilled water for cooling ♻️ Why biomethane? We source it locally from biomass, including our own organic waste, and creating a sustainable, self-sufficient system: one source, four energies. With an impressive 90% efficiency, we can obtain white certificates, recognising our commitment to energy saving. 📌 Without trigeneration, we'd rely more on the grid, burn extra methane and use energy-intensive cooling systems. Our sustainable choice is clear! #Trigeneration #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #Biomethane #Innovation

💧 When it comes to bread, hydration is the key: higher dough hydration means better softness for artisan-style loaves and tin bread. 🍞 💡But here’s an exciting insight for bakery producers: by replacing just 1% of flour with citrus fiber (Vitacel CF312), you can increase your dough hydration capacity by 8% maintaining the same water activity value. 🍋🍊 This smart tweak not only enhances dough elasticity, firmness and fresh keeping; it also boosts nutritional values while maintaining a balanced structure. Baking is both a science and an art, and incorporating citrus fiber unlocks endless opportunities to craft clean label, innovative breads. Ready to explore the possibilities? 🔍 Visit our website jrs.silvateam.com to discover more about our citrus fiber.    #CitrusFiber #BakingInnovation #HydrationInBread

🍋 Ever wondered how pectin – the natural ingredient that gives your favourite jams, jellies and beverages their irresistible texture - is made?🍊  Here’s a quick look at our process: 1 - Fruit selection: pectin is sourced from citrus peels, leftovers of juice and essential oil production. 2 - Extraction: the fruit peels are heated in water to release the pectin, in acid conditions. 3 - Separation: the spent peels are separated from the pectin syrup. 4 - Filtration: the pectin syrup is filtered to eliminate impurities. 5 - Precipitation: separation of pectin from the liquid phase. 6 - Purification: the pectin then is purified, dried, milled and sieved. 7 - Standardisation: the pure pectin is blended with sugar or salts to ensure consistent functionality, including gel strength, viscosity and protein protection, which may vary depending on the specific application.    Want to know more about our range? 📧 Contact our team at solutions@silvateam.com. #Pectin #PectinProduction #PectinApplication
