Approximately 35,000 trade visitors came to ISM from 130 countries. The number of visitors from Asia rose substantially, with particularly large increases recorded for Japan, Korea and China. Larger numbers of visitors were also registered from North, Central and South America, as well as from the Mid- dle East. The turnout from eastern Europe, particularly from Russia, was once again quite positive. New ideas included products sweetened with stevia or pure honey confec- tionery. Flavor combinations on the rise included cocoa and fruits, marzipan and champagne, and licorice and fruit flavors. Products mimicking alcoholic beverages (with and without alcohol) in chocolates, and dessert creations in confections such as apple strudel, black forest cake and chocolate mousse were exhibited. The use of cookies (biscuits) in confectionery like Oreo, specu- loos and brownies helped to make new flavor combinations in products as well as a new twist on old favorites. A push toward natural colors and flavors with the use of radish, sweet potato, hibiscus, carrot and cucurbit and the use of popular soft drink brand names and flavors in products are also widely used by companies in their creations.
