Virgo Publishing, Phoenix, announced this week that Tate & Lyle’s entry, ‘PROMITOR™ Fiber H2O with Protein’ satiety water, will receive the first Food Product Design Excellence Award presented at SupplySide West, November 6 to 8 at The Venetian & The Sands Expo in Las Vegas.
“This award is unique because a prestigious panel of food scientists and product development professionals judged the entries,” said Bob Weeks, publisher of Food Product Design. “I look forward to presenting this award recognizing remarkable research and technology innovation at SupplySide West, the world’s largest event for healthy and innovative ingredients.”
Ingredient suppliers with new ingredient/technology science, a new application or any research-based breakthrough in ingredient/technology science submitted extensive entries for review. A panel of judges comprised of R&D and product development professionals from food manufacturing companies reviewed the award entries. Each entry was judged on science/research methods, breakthrough in ingredient technology/science, innovation and appeal for the manufacturing community.
Tate & Lyle will be presented the award at 2pm on Thursday, November 8 in the Virgo Publishing booth at SupplySide West. The entry also will be highlighted in the November issue of Food Product Design. More information about SupplySide West is available at SupplySideShow.com or by calling 800/454-5760.
Stacey Kappes, Ph.D., food scientist for Tate & Lyle who formulated the satiety water, said, “We are proud to have been awarded the first Food Product Design Excellence Award for PROMITOR™ Fiber H2O with Protein. Tate & Lyle's new range of PROMITOR™ dietary fibers were launched in June this year, in response to increased demand for wellness ingredients. The average adult diet in the U.S. does not meet the national recommendations for daily intake of fiber. Our range of PROMITOR™ fibers offers manufacturers a real opportunity to help consumers boost their fiber intake with innovative products that deliver the right texture and all the taste people expect from their favorite brands.”
