Our know-how
We stand out for our ability to hydrolyze a wide variety of cereals using natural, non-GMO enzymes, starting from flour rather than from starch as is the case in conventional glucose syrup production.
By eliminating the need for refining and relying on environmentally responsible processes, we preserve the natural characteristics of the raw material.
What makes our approach different
We work directly with flours from a wide variety of cereals rather than using isolated starch as in conventional glucose production
Each raw material has its own characteristics.
This diversity (rice, oats, spelt, wheat, cassava, corn, millet, malt, dates) allows us to offer ingredients with varied profiles, capable of meeting the specific needs of each formulation.
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 of the raw material’s nutrients and distinctive characteristics, including its natural taste and color, as possible.

Two product ranges: organic and conventional
A pioneering product range in the European organic sector, unique in the diversity of its raw materials and the naturalness of its process, based on unrefined production.
For brands looking for organic solutions.
A pioneering clean-label product range, produced using the same unrefined production process as our organic raw materials.
For brands looking for clean labels.
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.”
Today, Meurens Natural primarily works with rice, oats, spelt, wheat, millet, corn, and malted barley. Tapioca, made from cassava, and dates round out our product portfolio, even though they are not cereals. However, we are always open to trying to work with new ingredients, so please share your ideas with us.
Yes. Sipal® and Natu® both use the same unrefined production process.
This is a direct result of the unrefined cereals and natural production process. Mechanical filtration is not as invasive as chemical refining, which produces a clear syrup. This slightly cloudy color is visual evidence of the natural production process.
Yes. Without refining or the addition of chemicals, our products can be labeled by the name of the grain used, for example, “rice syrup” or “oat syrup,” rather than by a process name such as “glucose syrup.”
