Agrana: The Gulfood Manufacturing trade fair in Dubai from 7 to 9 November is one of the most important international trade fairs for the food processing sector, attracting specialists from the Middle East, North and Central Africa as well as Asia. Agrana will be presenting a range of new products there which reflect the changing requirements of downstream manufacturers and consumers. "Our diverse product range on show at the Gulfood Manufacturing fair highlights our strengths as a diverse player in the fruit, starch and sugar business segments. From fruit and flavouring preparations to saccharification products as well as premium and speciality starch products, we offer our customers in the downstream processing industry modern solutions all from a single source," emphasises Agrana CEO Markus Mühleisen. The positive effects of several Agrana products on physical performance, endurance and resistance to disease have been combined by its product developers in a new blend for sports drinks: for example, crystalline betaine manufactured entirely naturally from sugar beet which supports important metabolic functions and also has a positive effect on osmoregulation at the cellular level. The product DuraBeet© contains 99 percent betaine and is ideal for use in beverages, (sport) snack bars and food supplements. On the other hand, the blend for sports drink manufacturers relies on a highly soluble carbohydrate from Agrana's starch division by the name of Agenacarb©. For the first time ever, Agrana's product developers have come up with an innovative process to successfully manufacture highly soluble and non-sweet starches which provide sportswomen and sportsmen with energy over a longer period of time.
