Protein enhancer for dietetic foods

As current concerns intensify and priorities evolve, consumers are being forced back to basics: they not only want to eat more natural products ?they also want ones they feel they can trust. A recent report from the Mintel GNDP database highlights that in 2008 搉atural" claims ranked first when new food and drink products were launched. 揘atural?claims appeared on nearly one in every four (23%) of such launches, a 9% increase on 2007 figures. According to David Jago, new product expert at Mintel: “With economic struggles driving people toward a simpler way of life, we expect that food and drink manufacturers will continue to prize natural, wholesome benefits well into 2009." But what about consumers who are after weight reduction and management? Surely they too should be offered diet products that meet the widespread desire for 搉atural" and 搕rusted ingredients" Non-GMO protein The disadvantages of using vegetable proteins are well known: blending difficulties, dust formation, poor taste, allergens, and sourced from a genetically modified organism (GMO), among others. Addressing these concerns, one uniquely effective protein extracted from a vegetable whose reliability makes it ideal for slimming food products is Nutralys? Developed by French ingredients specialist Roquette, the protein is sourced from the pea, a 100% natural, non-GMO, gluten- and lactose-free raw material that has always been an everyday part of our lives. Moreover, the pea is not on the list of allergens that in Europe need labeling as such. It is also compatible with organics in both the EU and the US and is a permitted part of the allowable 搉on-organic" fraction of organic foods (up to 5% in the EU). This specialty protein is processed in a dedicated ISO 9001 plant close to where peas are grown. Production is non-polluting and meets the most demanding quality standards. A Roquette patent makes it possible to obtain the soluble pea protein on a commercial scale without using chemical solvents or other chemicals; only pure water is required. The process has been optimized to produce a range of proteins with different functional and physical properties. Processed for optimal nutrition The manufacturing process leads to a highly purified pea protein that is comparable to an isolate with an amino acid score of 95* for adults. Unlike other vegetable protein sources, Nutralys has a very low anti-nutritional factor content. This ensures optimal efficiency with outstanding digestibility: 98%** ?better than whole peas or pea flour and comparable to the best animal protein source. Being spray-dried, it has inherently good flow properties, making lecithin or the other additives and flow agents used in milk and soy protein unnecessary. Moreover, this pea protein is very easily dispersed, with reduced dust and foam formation, making it easy to use in manufacturing environments. Nutralys has been found to be deal for premium quality slimming foods at an affordable price. Formulation experts in dietetic products, sport foods and nutritional supplements, Laboratoire PYC, have recently demonstrated that the proprietary vegetable can deliver delicious recipes. These can be either savory 杅or instance, a pea and bacon meal substitute with a 40% protein content and half of it sourced from peas, or sweet ?such as a chocolate drink meal substitute with a 40% protein content and 1/3 of it sourced from peas. The dietetic foods company uses either animal or vegetable proteins from several sources on a regular basis, say Dominique Thierry and Anne Fundt of the Laboratoire PYC R&D division. 揂s regards Nutralys, tAir Jordan IV 4 Shoes
