Production process

Mill

Thanks to the installation of a universal mill, Meurens Natural can produce its own milling.

Hydrolysis

Before the addition of natural (GMO-free) enzymes to carry out the hydrolysis, the flour is mixed with water at a certain temperature.

Hydrolysis is the splitting of the long starch molecules into smaller-sized molecules using the action of natural (GMO-free) enzymes.

This results in a wide range of extracts containing a variety of sugar structures and dextrose equivalents, which can provide a diverse array of sweetening and technical functionalities.

Filtration

The purpose of filtration is to separate the juice from insoluble.

The originality of the Sipal® and Natu® ranges: this stage is carried out completely mechanically, without the use of conventional technical and chemical agents, and demineralisation.

This results in the preservation of the nutrients, trace elements and specific features of the raw material, such as taste and flavour.

Evaporation

Removal of the excess water contained in the juice by heating. This guarantees a concentrate with better stability, which is ready to be packed.

Conditionnement

The extracts are available in the following pack sizes:

  • 25 kg pails ;
  • 295 kg drums ;
  • 1400 kg container ;
  • 24 T bulk truckload.

No chemical additives: a natural and original production process

Meurens Natural has been a pioneer in the organic sector in Europe with its Sipal® range. Meurens has developed a production process for both the Sipal® and Natu® ranges that is 100% in line with the organic philosophy.

Meurens Natural is the European specialist in cereal hydrolysis, with the ability to hydrolyse a wide variety of cereals using flour and not only starch as is conventional in the glucose industry.

The hydrolysis of flour as part of a production process that is clean, simple, and environmentally friendly provides the following advantages:L’hydrolyse de la farine dans le cadre d’un procédé de transformation propre, simple et respectueux de l’environnement offre les atouts suivants :

  • No chemical additives are used, unlike larger sugar or glucose manufacturers (H2SO4 – sulphuric acid, NaOH – sodium hydroxide, Na2CO3 – sodium carbonate, SO2- sulphur dioxide).l’absence d’additifs chimiques utilisés par la grande industrie sucrière ou glucosière (H2SO4 – acide sulfurique, NaOH – hydroxyde de sodium, Na2CO3 – carbonate de sodium, SO2 – anhydride sulfureux) ;
  • No conventional processing methods such as the use of ion exchange resins for demineralising sweetened juices or fruit juices.l’absence de procédés de transformation conventionnels tels que l’utilisation de résines échangeuses d’ions pour la déminéralisation de jus sucrés ou de jus de fruits;
  • Complete traceability from the raw material to the syrup.une traçabilité complète de la matière première au sirop ;
  • The characteristics of the processed cereals are preserved to the maximum: taste, colour, and minerals.
  • A cleaner, clearer, and shorter labelling for the consumer: “rice syrup” instead of “glucose syrup” or “sugar”.
