Tate & Lyle launches PROMITOR™ Soluble Gluco Fibre

| Filed in:

Lille, France (20 October 2011) – Tate & Lyle, the global ingredients and food solutions provider, is pleased to announce the start of European manufacturing of a new soluble fibre, PROMITOR™ Soluble Gluco Fibre. This comes just 18 months after the start-up of the STA-LITE® Polydextrose line in Koog, The Netherlands. By expanding its capacity to manufacture a range of different soluble fibres, Tate & Lyle reiterates its commitment to respond to growing consumer demand for products with health and wellness benefits.

PROMITOR™ Soluble Gluco Fibre is an extension of the PROMITOR™ dietary fibre product line which has proved popular with Tate & Lyle’s North and Latin American customer base. PROMITOR™ SGF70L offers European food and beverage manufacturers a dietary fibre that is well tolerated and provides attractive label options. Its process and acid stability enables manufacturers to develop new, healthier versions of a wide range of food and beverage products at a moderate cost-in-use. The ingredient is suitable for markets and applications that require fibres made from non-GM maize and will initially be available in liquid form.

Jerome Tauzin, Product Manager Health & Wellness comments: “We are excited to introduce PROMITOR™ to our customers in Europe and other GMO-sensitive markets. European consumers are increasingly interested in label-friendly ingredients, and our consumer research indicates Soluble Gluco Fibre delivers on those trends.”

The product will debut at the Food Ingredients Europe exhibition in Paris next month.

Meet Tate & Lyle at stand 2C21 at FI Europe, Paris, France – 29 Nov. – 1 Dec.

Food and beverage manufacturers will benefit from consumer-friendly dietary fibre made in Europe.
