Tate & Lyle, a global provider of specialty food ingredients and solutions, has announced plans to more than double capacity of its non-GMO Maltosweet maltodextrin product line at its facility in Boleraz, Slovakia. This expansion of food grade and infant food grade non-GMO Maltosweet maltodextrin is expected to be completed in 2019.
Maltosweet maltodextrin is a nutritive corn-based specialty sweetener made from locally-sourced non-GMO dent and waxy corn starch. It is available in powder and granular formats. Maltodextrin acts as a binder, viscosity provider, fat replacer, and bulking agent. The ingredient is used in a wide range of food and beverages such as infant formula, sports drinks, dairy desserts, and sauces.
“This expansion will enable us to meet growing customer demand for non-GMO maltodextrins, and particularly in the infant food sector for regions such as Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific,” said Joan Braca, president, Specialty Food Ingredients, Tate & Lyle. “It will also further strengthen our specialty food ingredients solutions offering worldwide.”
