Kennedy's Confection travels to Lestrem, France to find out some of the latest developments from Roquette, particularly focusing on the confectionery applications.
The article outlines the unique benefits of MALTISORB® maltitol and NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber, supplied for use in sugar-free, sugar-reduced and better-for-you formulations.
