GELITA invites IFT FIRST attendees to Booth #S2408 to learn how GELITA's collagen proteins provide formulators with innovative options for creating nutritious snacks and drinks that meet consumer expectations.

Snacks & Beverages
With SOLUFORM, beloved gummy snacks are easy to realize as they facilitate the development of gummy recipes with less sugar and added protein, all while preserving the unique gelatin texture and rich flavor release.

Beverages offer a convenient means to deliver vital nutrients. By utilizing GELITA's Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP), beverage manufacturers can design versatile drink concepts tailored to diverse consumer health preferences.

Bar Applications
High-protein and low-sugar bars remain a rapidly growing segment in the functional food market, yet developers continue to face challenges with texture, taste, and binding—especially when striving for clean labels and formulations that meet consumer demands.

OPTIBAR is a new collagen ingredient solution that supports protein enrichment while improving mouthfeel and structure of high-protein bars without compromising product quality. For low-sugar cereal and granola bars, OPTIBAR can eliminate common issues such as stickiness, brittle textures, or off-flavors associated with conventional polyols or syrups.

Collagen Benefits
Collagen is one of the hottest functional ingredients around the globe in the natural channel right now as it expands its skincare origins into new health categories. As a primary structural protein, collagen is essential for mobile joints, stable bones, healthy muscles and strong ligaments and tendons. GELITA's experts will be on hand to discuss how its Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP) can support the development of clean-label, research-backed better-for-you product formulations.
