Institut Rosell/Lallemand Receives Frost & Sullivan Award

MONTREAL--InstitutRosell/Lallemand was awarded Frost & Sullivan's 2001 Market Engineering Technology Leadership Award for its new enteric coating technology, STAR™(STomach Acid Resistance). The enteric coating formulation was modified from solvent-based to water-based to ensure unaltered passage through the stomach into the intestine, according to InstitutRosell/Lallemand (www.lallemand.com).

According to Frost & Sullivan, a market research firm, Institut Rosell/Lallemand's technology met several criteria of excellence. "In the probiotic dietary supplement industry, there is a false expectation of higher potencies from a larger number of cells packed per capsule," said Carlos Ayala, an industry analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "STAR is a significant contribution to dietary supplement companies focused on probiotic bioavailability and effectiveness of their products."
