Royal DSM N.V. and AVEBE U.A. today announce that the business group DSM Food Specialties and AVEBE Food have entered into a strategic partnership. The combination of DSM’s enzyme expertise and AVEBE’s starch knowledge will lead to new opportunities for the development of innovative creaminess-enhancing products for the food industry.
The partnership has already led to the development of ETENIA™, a natural, clean label ingredient derived from potato starch designed for a variety of applications. “ETENIA™ has already demonstrated its unique creaminess and melt-in-mouth qualities in yogurts and dairy drinks and seems to be ideally suited as a fat replacer,” comments Paul Sheldrake, Marketing Manager at AVEBE.
