Visitors to Roquette’s ‘Creatilicious bar’ were offered pancakes, vegan bars and gluten-free crunchy bites – all made with the company’s Nutralys pea protein, which it claimed contributed to the maintenance of muscle mass.
Other plant-based ingredients at its stand included sorbitol Neosorb, maltitol SweetPearl, and xylitol Xylisorb, each of which are suitable for sweetening teeth-friendly confectionery.
Directly compressible polyols
Also available at the show were Roquette’s Xtab polyols, a range of directly compressible polyols that it claimed offered multiple technological benefits and texture possibilities for sugar-free confectionery tablets.
The company said its “clear-cut, natural-origin” ingredients opened up possibilities in a range of categories, from sports and weight management food products, to healthy sweets.
