DSM, Fi Europe, 17 – 19 November 2009, Frankfurt Messe, Booth 8K22 / 8K26

DSM is demonstrating its deep understanding of the consumer trends currently driving the international food industry at this year’s FiE: health, natural ingredients and food safety/quality.  The company is showcasing its range of innovative ingredients, backed by science and developed to help manufacturers formulate foods and beverages which respond to today’s consumer demands.  A one year celebration of its Quality for Life™  commitment is a major focus.  Visitors are able to explore its value and benefits in terms of the quality, reliability, traceability and sustainability of DSM’s nutrition portfolio. 

DSM is unveiling its latest natural solutions on stand.  Highlights include the launch of MaxiBright^®, a natural enzyme for whey decolourification and soy milk decolouring, and Panamore™  Spring – a breakthrough alternative to CSL and SSL chemical emulsifiers. Maxavor^®  Chicken YE, the first chicken flavour that can be simply labelled as a ‘yeast extract’, is also being presented.  This ingredient has also been nominated in the best savoury / meat innovation category at the FiE awards.

And, as health continues to dominate customer concerns, DSM is revealing its comprehensive portfolio of health benefit solutions via its ‘How can we Health you?’ platform. Key products include FloraGLO^®  lutein and redivivo^®  lycopene (redivivo recently received Novel Food approval as a nutrient in the EU).

A clear commitment to consumers
In an increasingly crowded market place, food manufacturers are looking for ways to ensure their products stand out on shelf and satisfy consumer requirements.  DSM offers a complete portfolio of solutions, all developed to help customers formulate the products their target audience demands.  Representatives from DSM are available to demonstrate how its ingredients can help manufacturers create a clear point of differentiation in the market place and achieve vital consumer appeal.

Happy Birthday Quality for Life
Launched at HiE 2008, Quality for Life is DSM’s commitment to safety and quality for its complete range of products and services. This mark of excellence provides manufacturers with a tangible certification that all DSM’s nutritional ingredients meet the highest quality standards, and are reliable, traceable and sustainable too. This assurance is crucial in the current global climate.

MaxiBright – for natural brightness
MaxiBright represents an industry first.  A natural, food grade, fungal-based enzyme, MaxiBright has been specifically designed for whey decolourification. With MaxiBright, producers can now benefit from a natural and cost effective solution for consistent product quality.

Spring into action in the bakery sector
DSM is showcasing Panamore Spring, an extension of its breakthrough Panamore enzyme technology. Developed to replace calcium and sodium stearoyl lactylate (CSL and SSL) emulsifiers, Panamore Spring offers bread manufacturers a natural, cost-effective, sustainable and consumer-friendly alternative to chemical emulsifiers. Used at far lower dosages than SSL, it also delivers major savings through lower ingredient costs and reduced handling, and results in a more stable, tolerant dough with soft crumb structure, good volume and superior shelf life. 

How can we Health you?

The ingredients and market relevance behind DSM’s cutting-edge health benefit concepts are also being revealed and explained.

Here, they can customise and sample a non-alcoholic cocktail which offers their chosen nutritional benefit.

Coloration experts are available throughout the show to discuss DSM’s carotenoids coloration capabilities.

The perfect partnership
The unique, synergistic effects of Maxilact^®  and DELVO^® -YOG are under the spotlight at the show.
