GELITA ~ VITARCAL®

EBERBACH, GermanyGELITA developed a new concept for weight management with its VITARCAL collagen proteins. The VITARCAL range of collagen proteins can create two-phase water-in-water systems, allowing formulators to develop a creamy mouthfeel by mimicking fat in suitable food products. Its water binding and foaming capabilities can increase the volume of food to decrease the weight per serving, reducing the energy content per serving. In addition, the net-energy yield from the protein is lower than what a consumer would yield after digestion of a similar quantity of carbohydrate.
