Rousselot®, Darling Ingredients’ health brand and the global leader of collagen-based solutions(1), will highlight its high-quality, clean-label and sustainable solutions at this year’s FiE and HiE events. Attendees will discover how Rousselot harnesses its decades of formulation and food science expertise to support the development of innovative food and nutrition products with real consumer benefits.

At the booth, Rousselot will offer visitors the opportunity to connect virtually with experts from its Global Application Laboratory located in Ghent, Belgium and talk about their potential NPD or other formulation questions. This hybrid approach reflects Rousselot’s global outlook and commitment to delivering the latest application insights to customers and industry partners, wherever they are in the world.

The company will also be offering a wide range of inspiring samples from its world-class gelatin and collagen portfolio.

Functionality, convenience and consumer appeal: SiMoGel gelatin solution for fortified gummies

Naturally versatile and full of functional potential, gelatin is a sustainable ingredient solution suitable for use in everything from clean-label gummy confectionery or dairy products to eco-friendly pharmaceutical delivery forms. At FiE and HiE, Rousselot will showcase its latest SiMoGel gelatin solution which enables the production of soft gummies and even center-filled gummies, without traditional starch depositing. Also known as ‘gummy caps’, these liquid-center gummies enable high-API content, accurately dosed vitamins or minerals for example, in a format that is attractive for people of all ages. Utilizing the SiMoGel starch-free production process, these gummies or gummy caps can be hygienically manufactured at an industry-leading setting time of just 15 minutes, boosting ROI without compromising product safety or efficacy.

Attendees can try a range of delicious SiMoGel-based application samples, including gummy caps for immunity support, pain relief and sore throats, as well as a sugar-free nutraceutical gummy with a high 10mg dose of zinc - a mineral shown to contribute to normal immune function.

Peptan Marine: Find your Inner Strength™, sustainably

Collagen peptides have been shown to help build ‘Inner Strength’ by contributing to the maintenance of healthy connective tissues such as skin, bones, cartilage and joints. At FiE and HiE, Rousselot will build on this concept by highlighting the many strength-supporting benefits offered by its premium bioactive collagen peptide solution, Peptan.

Demonstrated in multiple scientific studies to support joint and bone health for improved mobility(2), (3), (4), (5), enhance hair and skin beauty(6), (7), and provide an effective nutritional solution for sports recovery(8), Peptan is a premium ingredient prized by producers and consumers alike. With the recent launch of Peptan Marine - a range of premium collagen peptides sourced from 100% wild-caught white fish – Rousselot has expanded its already leading collagen peptide portfolio further. This latest solution, which has been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), gives nutricosmetics and nutraceutical brands a high-quality collagen source suitable for the growing number of more conscientious consumers.

Bringing a world of formulation expertise straight to show attendees

Visitors to Rousselot’s stand will be invited to discover the application potential of its collagen solutions via a range of innovative functional samples. These include: healthy nut and seed-based ‘beauty bites’, two Peptan Marine shots containing leading DSM premixes – a ginseng ‘beauty shot’ and an ‘immunity shot’ featuring elderberry extract – and much more.
