Nutrition is a public health priority, at Limagrain Ingredients, we are aware that a healthy diet is key to good health. Today's consumers pay a lot of attention to the nutritional information shown on product labels. Many studies have shown that consumers tend to choose natural products with no additives that are good for their health.
All products in the Presco range have been specially developed to meet current and future consumer requirements. We can help you deal with the many challenges in the agrifood sector thanks to a wide range of textures and expansions
Presco puffed grains are produced using a unique production process releasing the starch inside the grain to improve digestion. This process also speeds up the absorption of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fibre. The nutritional values of the grains are retained optimally through the 100% natural Presco treatment. In addition, this process ensures the uniform expansion of the grains and greater homogeneity from one batch to another for consistent product quality.
Limagrain Ingredients is constantly adapting to its market and has developed the Presco organic range with different forms and densities, from whole grains to flakes, not forgetting crushed grains.
Presco puffed grains contain more than 80% pregelatinised starch, known for being more digestible than native starch. The Presco process improves protein digestion capacity like no other short heat treatment process, while guaranteeing a reduction in anti-nutritional factors.
The Presco range is suited to and ready for a range of applications. From bakery to vegetarian products, Presco puffed grains are versatile and offer undeniable added value to all recipes, whether in terms of taste, aroma, visual appearance or nutritional composition.
The Presco process is compatible with all types of cereals and is perfectly suited to bakery products. This natural treatment conserves the nutritional values of the grains in the finished product. This is why the Presco range is a considerable asset in the production of wholemeal breads or fibre-rich breads.
When it comes to nutrition, today's consumers are constantly looking for innovation and novelty. With the gradual shifting of our eating habits, we are witnessing a new craze in alternatives to breakfast cereals: wholegrain cereals, fruit or even drinks "rich in fibre".
Today, breakfast cereals still hold a special place in the hearts of consumers and many puffed cereals (sometimes coated) are part of their diets. Limagrain Ingredients continues to supply major breakfast cereal manufacturers with unique high-quality products through the Presco range.
In recent years, cereal bars have increased in popularity among consumers notably due to the "on the go" trend. The Presco range can be used to liven up your fruit cereal bars, muesli, etc.
Whether for health reasons, a change of diet or simply to try new tastes, today's consumers are curious about and open to dietary alternatives. Puffed cereals are your best allies in meeting your customers' need for innovation.
