Dow Food & Nutrition and REDA Food Ingredients will showcase Dow's ingredients and technologies for food and nutrition solutions within the REDA booth (Stand C8-40, Hall 8) at Gulfood in Dubai from February 23 through 26.

With consumer demand for natural, healthy and convenient foods on the rise, Dow, together with distribution partner REDA Food Ingredients, offers industry-leading products that satisfy the discriminating modern consumer in the Middle East. Many Dow products, including the ones below, are Halal-certified and may be used in support of "derived from natural sources", "heart health" and "allergen-free" label claims in baked goods, meats, sauces and snacks:

- METHOCEL MX Fat Replacement Technology offers excellent juicy and succulent mouthfeel for low-fat meat and bakery products. METHOCEL MX also enables formulators to use healthier liquid oils, such as olive or canola.
- FORTEFIBER Soluble Dietary Fiber is clinically proven to help maintain healthy blood glucose and cholesterol levels. FORTEFIBER is non-fermentable and is suitable for use in confectionery (chews) and baked goods (biscuits, bars).
- CLEAR+STABLE Cellulose Gum provides excellent clarity in beverages at low pH, enables stable viscosity during shelf life and improved protein protection properties.

"Prepared foods and snacks fit today's busy lifestyles, but formulators strive to make them healthier - and still taste good. Our plant-derived products deliver the health and sensory benefits that consumers want, while giving formulators the ingredient efficiency they may need in today's market."


said Stephanie Lynch, global marketing manager for Dow's Food & Nutrition business.
