Description

Transforming the dining experience for those on texture-modified diets, SHAPE IT MOULD offers an innovative solution with its range of food shaping powders and silicone moulds. Designed by Flavour Creations, this product line is tailored to enhance the presentation of pureed foods, making meals more visually appealing and dignified for individuals with dietary needs such as dysphagia.

Key Features

• Realistic Food Moulding: The shaping powders enable pureed foods to take on recognisable, realistic shapes, closely resembling their original forms. This feature is particularly beneficial in home, hospital, and aged care settings, where meal presentation can significantly impact the dining experience.

• Dietary Compatibility: The powders are suitable for a wide range of dietary requirements, being gluten-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, soy-free, nut-free, and egg-free. They are also certified Halal and Kosher, making them accessible to vegetarians and vegans. Free from artificial colours and flavours, they ensure that the taste, texture, and colour of the food remain unaltered.

• Texture and Stability: Compatible with IDDSI Levels 1 to 5, the product is heat stable up to 75°C and exhibits excellent freeze-thaw stability. Some components are resistant to amylase and can withstand temperatures up to 250°C, ensuring the moulded food retains its form until consumption.

Ingredients and Nutritional Information

The shaping powder contains ingredients such as maltodextrin, agar agar, and pectin. For products with nutritional supplements, additional ingredients include apple juice concentrate, hydrolysed collagen, and a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals. These supplements can serve as a sole source of nutrition under medical supervision, providing 266 kcal per 175mL and 15g of protein.

Preparation Instructions

To use, simply whisk the powder into pureed food or liquid, heat, and allow it to set in the silicone moulds. The moulds, available in various shapes and sizes, are crafted from 100% food-safe silicone. They are dishwasher, freezer, microwave, and oven safe, with a non-stick surface for easy cleaning. Each mould is durable, stackable, and comes with a lid, offering convenience and versatility.

Storage and Safety

The shaping powder boasts a shelf life of 18 to 24 months when unopened, while the nutritional supplement should be consumed within 24 hours once opened. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is recommended. The product is not suitable for children under one year unless under medical supervision, and consultation with a healthcare professional is advised for those on texture-modified diets.

With SHAPE IT MOULD, Flavour Creations provides a practical and creative approach to food presentation, enriching the mealtime experience for individuals with specific dietary needs.
