Rousselot, the leading producer of gelatine and collagen peptides, will be presenting its recently launched Synergy Systems™ at this year’s Fi South America. Additionally, manufacturers aiming to boost the nutritional profile of their foods and beverages can learn about the proven efficacy and application potential of Rousselot’s flexible range of Peptan® collagen peptides, with a particular focus on their effectiveness in supporting skin beauty and joint health.

Composed of different types of gelatine, or a specific gelatine combined with another ingredient (such as pectin), the Synergy Systems work synergistically to boost the functionality of each component ingredient within the carefully-selected blends. The easy-to-use, high performance solutions deliver a variety of functionalities—they can improve texture, taste, stability or emulsification, for example—allowing manufacturers to develop products with enhanced practical and nutritional benefits and strong consumer appeal.

At Fi South America, Rousselot will showcase AcidoGel™ H and NeutralGel™ B—two of the solutions within the Synergy Systems range. AcidoGel H enables the production of stable acid marshmallows, making exciting new flavor possibilities possible such as orange and lemon flavored acid marshmallows, which will be available on Rousselot’s booth. NeutralGel B performs extremely well in sugar, sugar-free, fat and fat-free environments where a neutral pH is vital to express savory flavors, such as cheese, bacon and salmon, and sweet flavors including mint, chocolate and cinnamon. It also acts as a bulking and texturizing agent, while enhancing the mouthfeel of reduced sugar marshmallows or gummy sweets.

Visitors to Rousselot’s stand will also have the opportunity to find out more about Peptan collagen peptides. A high quality protein source, Peptan collagen peptides are natural, highly digestible and bioactive ingredients. Manufactured exclusively in Rousselot’s state-of-the-art certified plants, Peptan is fully traceable and meets the highest international food and quality standards. Extensive research has shown that Peptan benefits mobility while ageing and can promote healthy bones, joints and muscles. Clinical research has demonstrated Peptan’s ability to rejuvenate skin collagen structure and promote younger looking skin too.

Available in three raw material origins, Peptan is offered as two main molecular weight grades, and in both a high (HD) and low (LD) density format. The easily soluble collagen peptides are also taste-, color- and odor-free. Peptan’s application possibilities include functional foods and drinks, dietary supplements, protein bars, powders and gummies. Representatives from Rousselot will be offering samples of beverages containing Peptan LD and chewable tablets incorporating Peptan HD, demonstrating the ingredient’s potential in a variety of innovative nutraceutical and nutri-cosmetic applications.

Rousselot will also be hosting two seminars at the show. Eng. Fernando Blüguermann, South America Applications Laboratories Manager, Rousselot, will present ‘Reformulation for Healthy Products’ between 16:20 and 16:50 on August 6, in the seminar sessions area. Also on 6 August, at 18:40, Ana Cristina Corrêa de Faria, Rousselot’s Brazil Applications Laboratories Supervisor, will present the latest scientific research on the efficacy of collagen peptides, in a seminar entitled ‘Collagen Peptides: Recent Studies in Skin and Joint Health’, at the seminar sessions area.
