Tate & Lyle to boost sweetener output at its plant in Slovakia

Speciality food ingredient solutions provider Tate & Lyle has today announced plans to more than double capacity of its non-GMO Maltosweet Maltodextrin product line at its facility in Boleraz, Slovakia.  

Maltosweet Maltodextrin is a nutritive corn-based speciality sweetener made from non-GMO dent and waxy corn starch. It is available in powder and granular formats.

Maltodextrin acts as a binder, viscosity provider, fat replacer and bulking agent. Tate & Lyle said the ingredient is used in a wide range of food and beverages such as infant formula, sports drinks, dairy desserts and sauces. 

Tate & Lyle president of speciality food ingredients Joan Braca said: “Tate & Lyle’s quality management systems ensure our non-GMO Maltosweet Maltodextrin achieves the high quality standards our customers look for, particularly manufacturers of infant and growing-up formula.
 
“This expansion will enable us to meet growing customer demand for non-GMO Maltodextrins, and particularly in the infant food sector for regions such as Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. It will also further strengthen our speciality food ingredients solutions offering worldwide.”
