A traditional ingredient in certain foodstuffs, there is now
virtually no area of the food and drink industry which does
not use starch or its derivatives. Roquette produces an exceptionally
wide range, all carefully tailored to the preparation of specific
products, from babyfoods and beer to delicatessen and ice cream.
One of the most significant developments is Hydrogenated Glucose
Syrup LYCASIN®, a
patented group of maltitol syrups whose non-cariogenic (anti-cavity)
properties make them an ideal sugarless alternative to traditional
sweeteners in a host of products.
Speciality food starches form another important group of
products. Helping to stabilize or control texture to a precise
degree, they bring benefits to a wide range of prepared high-quality
products such as sauces and soups in bottles or cans and pasta,
dehydrated or frozen foods, baked goods, etc. As a long-standing
supplier of maltodextrins to the makers of flavourings, Roquette
has taken a step forward with Beta-cyclodextrin, a bio-derivative
of starch, to help protect flavour by "encapsulation".
It is a substance which also offers valuable functions to
the food industry in general.
