Tate & Lyle joins forces with Solvay

Tate & Lyle has announced that it is to partner with Solvay to sell digestive health ingredient Solcatis Galactofructose in bakery and other food and beverage applications in Europe (excluding Spain and Portugal), the Middle East and Africa.

Solactis Galactofructose, a non-digestible carbohydrate derived from milk, has been shown to deliver wide-ranging health benefits as a prebiotic ingredient, while also regulating digestive transit at low dosages. In addition, scientific results suggest that it could be beneficial in stimulating mineral absorption, and helpful in managing weight.
Tate & Lyle and Solvay will use the ingredient to create a range of ‘better for you’ food applications for and with customers.
