Know-how - Meurens Natural

Syrup

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.
PACK SIZES
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:

No chemical additives are used, unlike larger sugar or glucose manufacturers (H2SO4 – sulphuric acid, NaOH – sodium hydroxide, Na2CO3 – sodium carbonate, SO2- sulphur dioxide).
No conventional processing methods such as the use of ion exchange resins for demineralising sweetened juices or fruit juices.
Complete traceability from the raw material to the syrup.
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”.

A wide variety of processed raw materials

Meurens Natural’s know-how is based on its ability to process a wide variety of organic and conventional raw materials: rice, oats, wheat, manioc, spelt, corn, barley malt, dates, figs, prunes, etc.

The Sipal® and Natu® ranges offer not only sweetening and technical functionalities, but also a wide variety of tastes and colours to give originality and innovation to all your products.
