NUTRALYS® pea protein at IFT expo

The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting and Expo is one of the world’s largest gatherings of food industry professionals.
 

With an expected attendance of 15,000 people and 800 companies, this event is an important marketing tool for Roquette to connect with its customers and consumers. This year at the IFT, we will be showcasing Vegetarian ‘Meat’-ball Sub Sliders with NUTRALYS® pea protein.
 

Join us at the IFT 2010 - Booth #3747 for tasty, nutritional bites formulated with Roquette ingredients and see what makes NUTRALYS® pea protein “unique” on the vegetable protein market.

NUTRALYS® pea protein has recently been honoured by the FROST & SULLIVAN with 2010 PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION EXCELLENCE AWARD

=> Compelling ingredient

=> 100 % matched to target market needs

 => Superior sensory profile

=> For higher rate of inclusion in end-products 

Unique features that make NUTRALYS®  even more TRUSTED, COMPETITIVE, UNIQUE according to FROST & SULLIVAN

"2010 will be a key year for Roquette"

On the occasion of the launch of a « new generation » NUTRALYS®, B. Géhin, details the progress recently accomplished by Roquette in the pea protein field.

Mr. Bruno GEHIN, you are in charge of the development of NUTRALYS® pea protein throughout the world. What is the state of progress of this project for Roquette?

The NUTRALYS® pea protein constitutes a high-performance range with very diverse applications.
2010 will be a key year for Roquette: several watersheds will be crossed:

• From the activity standpoint: The pea sector built up today enables Roquette to be the world number one in pea starch manufacture.

• From the technological standpoint: The NUTRALYS® pea protein range will benefit this year from the setting in place of industrial practices that will ensure significant progress, in particular at the level of the mastery of the organoleptic properties.

This last change will enable us to present innovative concepts to our customers thanks to higher pea protein inclusion rates.

Why is the sensory profile of proteins such an important factor?
Are proteins not consumed in the first place for performance reasons?

In reality, whether we are talking about proteins or another ingredient, every cook or food processing industrialist seeks in the first place to satisfy the taste buds of the consumers. Consequently sensory perception of the ingredient is as important as its nutritional intake.

In Western countries, succulence and conviviality of dishes are associated with meat or fish. They are sources of protein that constitute the « heart of the plate ». Animal protein is associated with gustatory pleasure, which is not the case with protein of vegetable origin.

In point of fact the sensory qualities of protein of vegetable origin have always been a major brake on its use. Endowed with a balanced nutritional profile, NUTRALYS® pea protein had a taste and an odour specific to the vegetable world. The improving of the taste of our protein range was consequently made a strategic area for R&D. After several months of research and the setting in place of a dedicated technology, the “new generation” NUTRALYS® was able to be launched in the spring of 2010.

So if the taste has been improved, there should be greater use made of NUTRALYS®: But could you give a few more details about the changes implemented?

The main work consisted in identifying the origin of the undesirable tastes that were responsible for the « green » or « vegetable » note. Once the molecules responsible had been identified, we set in place specific actions to prevent the presence of these molecules and their formation, from the raw material to the isolated protein.

Thanks to these improvements in our manufacturing process, the new taste of NUTRALYS® pea protein enables high inclusion rates to be attained for formulation. Our customers are now in a position to develop formulas that are richer in vegetable protein, while at the same time keeping the purchase cost at an affordable level for the consumer.

The second benefit is to enable the inclusion of pea protein where animal protein seemed to be inescapable, for example in cheese or dairy specialties and even in some forms of confectionery.

- And the next step?

We are continuing with this improvement and adjustment strategy in order to be in line with the expectations of the food producers. We sometimes work in collaboration with flavourists. The NUTRALYS® range should be extended in the future.

Roquette is investing energetically in Nutrition Health and proteins naturally find their place in these innovation programmes.
At the same time, the sensory aspects of proteins will always be a key success factor for fully satisfying our customers and above all the consumer.
 

VegBoost: a new alternative to milk that's 100% vegetable

Roquette innovation has been in action again with a new ready-to-drink product christened VegBoost. The concept was unveiled at Vitafoods 2010 and offers a new milk*-like, vegetable drink.

100% vegetable in origin, a source of fibre, and free of lactose, gluten, isoflavones and GMOs, Vegetal Booster has numerous nutritional properties. On top of that, the new beverage is based on NUTRALYS® pea protein and NUTRIOSE® prebiotic fibre, making it remarkably smooth and tasty.

Moreover, unlike some other vegetable alternatives to milk (obtained, for instance, from soya beans, hazelnuts, almonds, etc.), it does not contain any major allergens.

The sheer number of VegBoost’s benefits not only makes it distinctive – it is also why it is especially appealing to consumers seeking the well-being associated with vegetables, as well as those who are looking for an alternative to milk that can deliver both high nutritional value and easy digestibility.

And beyond that, vegetal booster’s concentrated combination of nutrition and innovation makes it an ideal concept development candidate for industrial-scale producers.

VegBoost is a patented vegetable drink obtained primarily from NUTRALYS® pea protein, to which is added water, maltodextrin and NUTRIOSE® FM 10** fibre. With a neutral taste, the latter builds in texture and body, allowing it to emulate the smoothness of milk. The improved taste*** of NUTRALYS® is combined with a pear/vanilla flavouring specially developed by Symrise, resulting in a “soft” and “fruity” vegetable drink free of any vegetable notes or bitter aftertaste.

Vegetable “milks” are often recommended to people intolerant of dairy products and lactose. One of the objectives of the VegBoost concept is to excite greater consumer interest, especially among those who wish to maximise the role of vegetable products in their daily diet. VegBoost’s protein content is high and slightly higher than that of cow’s milk or soya milk. It can be consumed by vegetarians and vegans and is recommended for people unable to tolerate lactose, soya bean or other major allergens. Furthermore, the inclusion of NUTRIOSE® prebiotic fibre in the recipe makes VegBoost a “source of fibre”.

The functionalities (organoleptic, nutritional and also technological) of the VegBoost concept have been in part obtained from Roquette’s recent perfection of the pea protein extraction process for its NUTRALYS® pea protein range. Producing a more neutral organoleptic profile, high solubility and dispersibility, these technological advances are what make VegBoost different from other vegetable proteins. Thanks to such developments, Roquette is demonstrating to food producers just how easy its vegetable protein is to use. That’s why the VegBoost is opening up innovation possibilities in the ready-to-drink field, in desserts, as a culinary aid (in a natural formula), in ice creams, etc, etc - the potential is enormous.

=> VegBoost is truly a springboard to the future! 

* The designation « milk » is currently defined by European regulations (EEC regulation No1898/87 dated 2 July 1987). These specify that it is reserved exclusively for the product of normal mammary secretion obtained by one or more milkings without either addition thereto or extraction therefrom».

** NUTRIOSE® FM 10 (a soluble fibre produced and marketed by Roquette) is produced from maize.

***NUTRALYS® benefits from a specific technology that distinguishes it from the other vegetable proteins, in particular its more neutral taste and odour (see press release « the new taste of pea protein– May 2010).

The Pea Protein journey

Presentation: "How technology has opened up new opportunities for pea protein ingredients"

Bruno Géhin, Global Pea Protein Development Manager at Roquette, gave this presentation at the Nizo Forum held on April 22nd-23rd 2010 about "Protein extraction and functionality".

He explains how, over the last 50 years, genetic, extraction, drying and sensory technologies have made NUTRALYS® pea protein an efficient and affordable ingredient of use in an increasing number of applications.

The New Taste of Pea Protein

Up till now, the main restriction on the use of vegetable proteins was their taste - differing slightly, depending on the botanical origin of the protein, but with a persistent odour and so-called « green » (or vegetable) sensory notes. A pity, because vegetable proteins exist – such as those extracted from the pea – that offer a whole range of advantages, whether nutritional, functional or ethical. This is the case with the pea protein produced by Roquette and marketed under the name NUTRALYS®. Non-GMO, with high nutritional value, superior digestibility, attractive labelling and from a reliable, traced source, it is the product of an original and proven process. NUTRALYS® is also suitable for the formulation of foods conducive to sustainable development. With so many advantages, it is a major ingredient in the protein market.
 

However, a taste natural to the vegetable world – even though only slight in the case of pea protein – remained a brake on its development. This was particularly the case in food applications such as slimming or sports diet products, in which the protein levels are inevitably very high. Likewise in sweetened food products and dairy products.

 

NUTRALYS® S85F (containing 85% protein) benefits from a specific technology that sets it apart from other vegetable proteins. With a unique sensory profile, NUTRALYS® S85F has a more neutral taste and odour than the other pea proteins. As a result it can be successfully used at the high inclusion rates needed for certain formulations.
 

For example, Laboratoire PYC* has developed for Roquette a meal replacement recipe in which 100% of the milk protein usually used is replaced by NUTRALYS® S85F. The result is outstanding. The organoleptic qualities are preserved. This example shows how NUTRALYS® can meet consumer demands for safety, health, well-being, ethics and above all taste. What is more, NUTRALYS® S85F appeals to the producer in search of a functional and economic protein for his product.

Roquette’s NUTRALYS® range of pea proteins proves that the vegetable world can offer proteins of quality not only from the nutritional standpoint but also from the sensory. Roquette’s know-how is based on its ability to process renewable vegetable raw materials to create ever more innovative products for industry. NUTRALYS® S85F is yet another example.
 

Responsible Economy Trophy 2009

The prizes recognize the commitment of Roquette towards a sustainable development policy.

Roquette has resolved to make sustainable development an integral part of its coporate model.

Pea processing demonstrates this involvement. This renewable raw material produced in France is clearly recognized as being environmentally friendly.

WHITE PAPER - NUTRALYS® Pea protein for more profitable innovation

Short-term cost-saving measures during the downturn should be complemented by innovating for the long-term future.

NUTRALYS® is key to securing the success of New Product Development by meeting today’s reliability and customer satisfaction challenges.

Non-GM vegetal ingredients

This summer, soybean meal imported from the US was found to contain unauthorized traces of GM maize. Contamination was also detected in linseed.

The industry is finding it increasingly difficult to guarantee that shipments will not contain traces of GM.

Roquette's NUTRALYS® is the protein you can trust to meet customers' requests for non-GM certified food.

NUTRALYS® avoids GM contamination problems today - and in the future, too: yellow pea production is increasing in France (17 % more in 2009). This local origin allows Roquette to offer non-GM certified protein and other functional ingredients made from Pisum Sativum.

Roquette at FIE 2009 - Offering the best of nature

Frankfurt - 17, 18, 19 November
HALL 9 / STAND B10

 

More than ever, consumers’ expectations are focussed on the health and nutrition aspects of food. Likewise, taste, quality and nutritional profiles, along with the supply of competitive and innovative ingredients, plus sustainable development, are major strategic challenges for the food processing companies.

In order to cope with these, the companies need reliable and experienced partners such as the Roquette group. FIE 2009 will be the opportunity for Roquette to present them with a selection of ingredients produced from renewable raw materials that are capable of providing the urgently needed response in an innovative, effective and sustainable way.

With the backing of finished product studies and concepts, these ingredients, such as NUTRIOSE® fibre, offer fresh prospects in the fields of satiety and digestive benefits. Roquette’s NUTRALYS® vegetable proteins will naturally have an important role to play in satiety mechanisms as well.

In the context of nutritional profiles, the properties of SweetPearl™ maltitol, NUTRIOSE®, ingredients produced from peas (PEA FIBER IG and NUTRALYS®), GLUCIDEX® 1 maltodextrin, CLEARAM® and CLEARGUM® modified starches, are indispensable balancing certain nutrients such as sugars and fats.

Because fibre is so essential for the consumer (as demonstrated by a recent survey*) Roquette will propose an original means of fibre enrichment for all the food products and beverages typically consumed during the day: a simple innovation for effective and economical fibre enrichment, with dramatic growth potential. 
 

 “Do better, with less” – a motto all the rage at present, so Roquette will put the emphasis on numerous solutions for:

• Replacing gum arabic, gelatine and also animal and vegetable proteins with more economical high-quality alternatives. 
• Increasing production yields. 
• Improving the texture and stability of finished products.

Gustatory pleasure is the overriding priority for any Roquette solution. Visitors will be able to come to their own conclusions at the «TASTE SPACE » on stand where recipe preparation and tasting sessions will be organised throughout the day.

Roquette India in Mumbai

• The Leguminous plants farming industry: this type of cultivation doesn't require for example much fertilizers, exhibits low needs for irrigation, allows extraction of proteins and micro-constituents without using any chemical solvent, and generates products at low risk of contamination (e.g. mycotoxines, pesticides) and not identified as major allergens.  

• Exploring the Microalgae farming: this cultivation requires mainly CO2 and light, is a "hors-sol" type of farming, leads to production of dietary substitutes for fish farming. It comes within the scope of the exploration, extension and keeping of the biodiversity and will allow emerging of new functional bioactive components (for example anti-pathogenic micronutrients).  

• The research on innovative functional products: these can be designed not only for preventing and reducing the risks of chronic illnesses linked to ageing and/or diets, but also for improving wellness and reducing suffering of ill people.

• Screening unknown richness of some dietary by-products still unexploited in human diet, to make them economically accessible to deficient populations.
