ABF Ingredients introduces innovative quality ingredients brands into Eastern Europe AB Enzymes, an ABF Ingredients company, launches VERONR NDL for noodles and pasta ABF Ingredients (ABFI), the successful ingredients division of Associated British Foods (ABF) will be introducing its leading range of food ingredients to the Eastern European Markets at the FiCEE exhibition, in Prague.

ABFI, which comprises a range of innovative and unique ingredient companies, will also have its full European Sales Team available to provide comprehensive advice and information concerning the full range of products available.

Among the new products being launched at the show is VERONR NDL from AB Enzymes, a xylanase preparation with additional genetically modified liolytic activity, used for the treatment of wheat-flour based noodle product and pasta. As the quality of raw material greatly influences the quality of both Asian noodles and Italian style pasta, the ability of VERONR NDL to allow the use of low-cost raw materials while securing the same consistently high results as if more expensive raw materials had been used, provides major cost saving capabilities.

VERONR NDL unlocks the strength potential in flour, which prevents overcooking and enables the noodle texture to remain “al dente” longer. The hermicellulitic and lipolitic enzyme activities in VERONR NDL contribute to a more appealing appearance due to an enzymatic whitening effect. This is complemented by a reduction in speckiness, increased colour stability of fresh noodles, and a lower oil absorption of fresh noodles.

Jane Toombes, of ABF Ingredients comments on the significance of the company’s attendance at the FiCEE exhibition. “Food ingredient manufacturing is progressively expanding out from the UK and US. There is terrific interest within the Eastern European Countries to deliver the same exacting standards for food manufacturing, which means these companies need access to the same leading edge ingredient technologies. We are keen to work with such companies to help them achieve this, whilst continuing to develop new and innovative ingredient solutions.”
