Ingredient descriptions:

FUNCTIONAL PROTEINS

BENEO’s non-GMO, functional wheat and rice proteins possess excellent binding capacities, process stability and a neutral taste. They have a high nutritional value and can be applied to meat substitutes, bakery foods and many other applications.

FUNCTIONAL FIBRES

BENEO’s highly-soluble functional fibres, Orafti® Inulin and Oligofructose, extracted from the chicory root, possess a natural sweetness. They improve digestive health and calcium absorption, in addition to inducing smoother blood sugar levels.

FUNCTIONAL CARBOHYDRATES

BENEO’s functional carbohydrates, ISOMALT and Palatinose™ are ideal ingredients with a balancing effect on blood sugar levels.

ISOMALT is a non-cariogenic, low-glycaemic and low-caloric sugar replacer derived from sugar beet. It replaces sugar on a 1:1 ratio, with its low-hygroscopic it increases shelf life and brings out flavours and colours in sugar-free hard-boiled candy.
Palatinose™ (isomaltulose) is a more slowly released carbohydrate derived from the sugar beet. It provides its full carbohydrate energy (4kcal/g) in a sustained way and helps to improve fat oxidation during physical activity. In addition to being non-cariogenic and non-hygroscopic, it also guarantees stable osmolality in beverages and is non-hygroscopic.

SPECIALTY RICE INGREDIENTS

BENEO’s rice ingredients help to address the rising demand for clean label, organic, gluten- and lactose-free and hypoallergenic products. They help improve the mouthfeel, texture, shelf-life and colour of products and in specific low(er) fat foods.
