No Regrets

The collagen proteins in VITARCAL, from GELITA, provide pleasure with no regrets in weight management products. Without compromising sensory profiles, the company claims to deliver convincing solutions to develop up-to-date products. VITARCAL is a holistic range of collagen proteins delivering solutions to weight management products, without compromising their sensory profiles, says GELITA. Thanks to its ability to create 2-phase water-in-water systems, VITARCAL can provide a creamy mouthfeel by mimicking fat in suitable food products. With its outstanding water-binding and foaming capabilities, it increases the volume of food, in order to decrease the weight per serving. This means the energy content per serving is much lower, says the company. Additionally, the net-energy yield from protein is lower than from carbohydrate, as protein digestion is more complex and demands more effort on the part of the body. GELITA AG, www.gelita.com
