Press release HIE 2008

Courbevoie, September 5th, 2008 – During the HIE (Health Ingredients Europe) 2008 Trade Fair, Rousselot®, the world leader for gelatines and hydrolyzed collagens, will be presenting original applications for its ROUSSELOT®/PEPTAN™ hydrolyzed collagens and their beneficial effects on health and beauty. Specialists in the food and nutrition industries will also be given sugar and fat reduced gelatine-based recipes that are rich in flavour and texture.
A new range of top quality hydrolyzed collagens
The acquisition of Peptan Products GmbH has given Rousselot the opportunity of reinforcing its range which will be presented at HIE in a fully integrated manner. Depending on its particular characteristics (raw materials and molecular weight), each ROUSSELOT/PEPTAN Hydrolyzed Collagen product is more than ever able to meet the technical and organoleptic requirements of specialists in nutrition, beauty or health.
Innovative applications in the field of nutrition, beauty and health
Reflecting its new rank and dynamism in the nutrition, beauty and health markets, Rousselot will not just be presenting fruit flavoured health and beauty cocktails (Healthy Bone Smoothie™, Superfruit me™, Young and Beautiful™ and Dream Slim™) but will also be unveiling original applications for its hydrolyzed collagens linked to their benefits for health and beauty:
• 97% pure protein, the range of ROUSSELOT/PEPTAN Hydrolyzed Collagens for Nutrition provides nutritional benefits and plays an important role in weight management.
• The same collagen type as that found in human skin, ROUSSELOT/PEPTAN Hydrolyzed Collagens for Beauty help contribute to a smooth and glossy skin.
• Several studies have shown a beneficial effect of a 10g/day supplementation of ROUSSELOT/PEPTAN Hydrolyzed Collagens to preserve the health of bones and joints.
Gelatine, an ideal ingredient in sugar and fat reduced foods and drinks
Because of its highly texturing and emulsifying properties, gelatine makes it possible to manufacture sugar and fat reduced foods and drinks and thus meet current consumer demand. Rousselot will demonstrate several varieties of its Geleese™, low fat cheese-based specialities for aperitifs that are particularly smooth and tasty.
Rousselot looks forward to meeting you on its stand, G013, to introduce you to its nutritional solutions.
