Roquette is set to showcase a new flexible addition to its Lycagel hydroxypropyl pea starch excipient range at at Vitafoods Europe 2024 this May, along with a fresh vision for developing vegetarian and vegan dietary supplements in softgels.

In the company’s first joint exhibition with Qualicaps, following its acquisition of the capsule manufacturer late last year, Roquette will demonstrate how its newly expanded portfolio can help producers craft exceptional supplements to meet any consumer health need. Attendees are invited to visit booth K148 for a first look at the company’s latest excipient launch, alongside leading-edge insights for optimising efficiency, quality, and sustainability in nutraceutical production.

Experts from Roquette’s technical, marketing and commercial teams will be available on-stand throughout the show to offer tailored support for tackling the toughest challenges in nutraceutical formulation.

On the event’s opening day, Roquette’s technical developer manager – Europe, Steve Amoussou-Guenou, will host a presentation on the sustainable potential of Lycoat modified pea starch for vegetarian and vegan dietary supplements.

Attendees can join him at 12:00 pm, 14 May 2024, in the New Ingredients Theatre, to learn about the versatile applications of Lycoat modified pea starch in ReadiLycoat film coating premix and Lycagel softgel capsules premix.

Visitors to the Roquette and Qualicaps booth can experience the quality of the companies’ combined portfolio first-hand through a wide range of samples – from traditional tablets and capsules to softgels and gummies.
