Roquette is launching in the USA NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber obtained from yellow peas.

By adding yellow pea as part of the botanical sources of NUTRIOSE®, Roquette increases its ingredient’s value proposition to the food sector.

 Geneva, IL, August 1st, 2018 – In response to the increasing demand for plant-based food ingredients, Roquette is launching in the USA NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber obtained from yellow peas. Plant-based foods have become more mainstream and the desire to eat more of them is a driving factor in consumer behavior. By adding yellow pea as part of the botanical sources of NUTRIOSE®, Roquette increases its ingredient’s value proposition to the food sector.  

Obtained from non-GMO wheat and corn, NUTRIOSE® is today known for its versatility and ease of use in multiple food formulations. From fiber enrichment to sugar reduction, it can be readily used in a wide range of foodstuffs to improve their nutritional profile. An additional benefit is its very good digestive tolerance.

To respond to the increasing interest in a fiber ingredient sourced from yellow pea, Roquette is launching a new plant-based, soluble dietary fiber produced from Pisum Sativum pea.

NUTRIOSE SOLUBLE PEA FIBER LAUNCHED IN THE USA

NUTRIOSE® soluble PEA fiber offers the same nutritional, health and technical advantages as the wheat- or corn-based type. In addition, it includes stronger consumer-friendly labeling because pea is not a major allergen.

Renée Beall, Roquette Food Marketing Manager, Americas, comments: “The new source of NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber is clearly trustworthy and sustainable. The yellow pea has a reliable origin, it is non-GMO, gluten-free, Halal and Kosher certified and is not a major allergen. In environmental terms, the yellow pea is an exemplary food to grow. It helps to strengthen biodiversity: by fixing nitrogen, it nourishes the soil instead of depleting it; and it requires little water compared to other irrigated sources. Indeed, yellow pea farming generates a positive impact on soil biology. As a legume, it takes nitrogen from the atmosphere and puts it directly in the ground, no need for nitrogen fertilizers. This creates a unique synergy for fertilization and growth. Pea farming naturally promotes the rotation of crops.”

NUTRIOSE® falls under the category of “Resistant Maltodextrin/Dextrin”. In this category, a recent FDA listing includes “soluble corn fiber” and “soluble wheat fiber” labeling applied to existing wheat and corn resistant maltodextrins. NUTRIOSE® derived from peas meets the definition of the category and is therefore covered by this listing, making “soluble pea fiber” an appropriate descriptor for NUTRIOSE® derived from peas.
