Son, Netherlands – 11 January 2012 - Rousselot, the world’s leading producer of gelatine and collagen peptides, will be present at the next Gulfood tradeshow held in Dubai, UAE from 19th to 22nd February, 2012. The Group will be presenting a comprehensive range of gelatines and collagen peptides on the stand number A7-2, Hall 7.

The widest range of gelatines

To answer the needs of its worldwide customers, Rousselot has developed the widest range of gelatines. Rousselot’s offer for the Middle East countries includes Halal certified gelatines that are exclusively made out of bovine or fish raw materials.

Rousselot® Gelatine: a multi-talented ingredient

Rousselot® Gelatine is an irreplaceable ingredient that facilitates innovation in dairy, dessert, confectionery, meat or any food applications. Gelatine also helps reformulate healthier products whilst maintaining taste and texture. Examples of snacks and desserts will be available on Rousselot’s partner stands. For instance, the "Carla Brownie" made with hydrolyzed Rousselot® Gelatine is reduced in sugar and fat and has 34% less calories than a regular brownie. Protein-enriched instant soups will also be presented.

Peptan® collagen peptides for functional foods

Peptan® collagen peptides are enjoying growing worldwide success. Scientific studies have demonstrated that this bioactive ingredient contributes to maintaining healthy bones and joints and helps prevent osteopenia and osteoarthritis. Clinical studies have also demonstrated the moisturizing and anti-aging effect of Peptan® in beauty applications for the skin (nutricosmetic and cosmetic applications). Rousselot’s teams are looking forward to welcoming visitors at Gulfood. Appointments with Rousselot’s teams can be booked prior to the exhibition (gelatin@rousselot.com).
