Sugar replacement has become very important in Europe, where one third of the population is considered overweight. According to Euromonitor International, reduced-sugar/sugar-free confectionery is predicted to grow at least three times faster than confectionery globally.
Particularly active in the formulation of sugar-free confectionery for a number of years, Roquette specializes in tasty confections with less sugars, suitable for the whole family, but also in innovative processing solutions of particular interest to producers.
At ProSweets this year, Roquette will be featuring attractive polyol- or fibre-based solutions using the company’s MALTISORB® maltitol and NUTRIOSE® soluble fibre. Both these ingredients are chiefly designed to reduce or replace the sugar content of confectionery, biscuits and bars without compromising the traditional taste of these products.
Roquette will also highlight a promising new solution specifically developed for wine gum producers: CLEARGUM® LG, a breakthrough thin-boiling starch. Soft texture, no stoving, improved stability, increased production capacity and energy-saving are some of the numerous processing advantages CLEARGUM® LG can offer.
Visitors to the Roquette stand will be able to sample products that are both healthy and tasty, as well as to obtain advice and information on ways to develop such products - for which demand from consumers is growing all the time.
