Why choose our cereal extracts?

We work with flour from a wide variety of cereals rather than using starch alone as in conventional glucose production.

What makes our process unique is the filtration step which separates the juice from the insoluble solids.

This step is carried out exclusively through mechanical filtration without the use of conventional chemical agents or processes such as demineralization.

As a result, we preserve as much as possible of the raw material’s nutrients and distinctive characteristics, including its natural taste and colour.

This approach enables simple, clean-label ingredient declarations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between unrefined cereal syrup and glucose syrup?

A cereal syrup is produced from flour rather than solely from starch, as is the case in conventional glucose production. By avoiding refining and using environmentally friendly processes, the product’s natural benefits are retained. As a result, it helps preserve the cereal’s natural color, minerals, and flavor, and therefore can be labeled as “rice syrup” or “oat syrup” rather than “glucose syrup.”

Can Meurens Natural help with organic formulation?

Yes. Sipal® is our organic range, which launched in 1994. The final choice depends on the specifications, the required certification, and the target market.

Do Meurens Natural ingredients allow for nutritional claims?

Yes, certain claims may be considered if the final product complies with the applicable regulatory thresholds and requirements. We can assist you in identifying the relevant claims and in compiling the appropriate documentation for your product.

Should I choose a liquid syrup or powder for my production process?

The choice depends on your manufacturing process and your needs. The liquid form can be incorporated directly into a UHT line or a mixture, without the need for reconstitution. The powder form facilitates long-term storage, precise dosing, and the production of powders or premixes. Many products are available in both formats.
