Rousselot: Clean label protein innovation
The relationship between health and nutrition continues to merge, as consumers
seek to get the most of their everyday diet. In order to meet this demand,
manufacturers are increasingly turning to protein fortification to improve
nutritional value – a trend that is showing no signs of slowing down. At IFT2017,
Rousselot ® /Peptan ® will showcase its comprehensive range of protein solutions,
designed for functional food, drinks and nutritional applications. Visitors to
booth 2674 will discover how Rousselot’s Peptan collagen peptides and
ProTake B hydrolyzed gelatin can be used in a wide variety of formulations to
enhance nutritional levels and maintain clean label classification.
Peptan ® : the bioactive protein backed by strong science
As the most abundant protein in the human body, collagen is a key constituent of all connective
tissues. A hydrolyzed form of collagen, collagen peptides are continuing to rise in popularity across the
global food and nutrition market, due to its range of health benefits and functional properties. Peptan collagen
peptides offer multiple advantages for healthy aging and sports nutrition including maintaining functional joints,
supporting healthy bones and improving skin moisture. With a neutral taste and smell, Peptan is a versatile
bioactive ingredient that is ideal for a variety of different applications, from tablets, powdered drinks,
beverages, nutrition bars, confectionery and dairy.
Clean label is possible with ProTake B
Also presented at IFT will be Rousselot’s ProTake B, a bovine-sourced ingredient which contains 90% pure
protein. ProTake B enables manufacturers to increase total protein content more than with any other single
source of protein. Its neutral organoleptic properties mean that it can be easily integrated with other
ingredients, which makes it suitable for protein enrichment across a range of applications to create healthier,
better-for-you products. As ProTake B is a food ingredient with no e-numbers, it can be incorporated into food
and beverages while meeting consumer demands for clean label products.
Functional versatility
A number of innovative product prototypes will be used to demonstrate Peptan and ProTake’s world-class
application possibilities. Visitors can sample collagen-enriched mocktail drinks including ‘Peptini’, a birthday
cake flavoured beverage supplemented with Peptan and ‘Protini’, a ProTake drink flavoured with coconut lime
and decorated with a gummy bear garnish.
Rousselot and Peptan experts will be on hand throughout the show to advise on complex formulation challenges
and to discuss opportunities for co-innovation. n

Welch’s Global Ingredients Group: Concord and Niagara grape
products take centre-stage
Welch’s Global Ingredients Group will showcase its extensive portfolio of Concord and
Niagara grape products.
Concord and Niagara grapes are grown in North America by Welch’s nearly 1,000 family
farmers and both are true American superfruits. The Concord grape is a distinctive dark
purple grape variety with a sweet bold flavour. Its cousin, the Niagara grape, is a white
grape with a golden hue that delivers a sophisticated flavour profile that is crisp, sweet,
light and refreshing.
Welch’s Global Ingredients Group will introduce visitors to the FruitWorx range of
Concord and Niagara real fruit pieces. Made using a technology called URC ® , which
was developed by Taura Natural Ingredients, FruitWorx pieces are perfect for snack, bakery and
confectionery applications.
Also on show will be FruitWorx Concord Grape Juice Powder, which is made with a proprietary dehydration
process that gently removes all the water from Concord grape juice but captures its natural wholesomeness
and retains its bold flavour and rich purple colour. n
