SON, the Netherlands, September 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ —

Rousselot, the world’s leading gelatine and collagen peptides producer, will be at the forthcoming CPhI show held October 9^th to 11^th, 2012 in Madrid, Spain. Rousselot will show an extended range of gelatines and demonstrate the positive effects of its Peptan^® collagen peptides on the health and mobility of seniors.

The most extensive range of pharmaceutical gelatines

Rousselot gelatines are made using raw materials of bovine, porcine or fish origin and are available with an almost unlimited number of properties (gel strength, viscosity, mesh size…). Rousselot is the only supplier to offer such a full and diversified range of pharmaceutical gelatines. Rousselot’s expertise in product technology and knowledge of current regulations enable it to work alongside its customers, assisting them in the development of the gelatines they use.

Increased production capacity

To follow its customers’ growth, Rousselot has increased its production capacities. Today almost all of its plants produce pharmaceutical gelatines. The Argentinean site has also specialized entirely in pharmaceutical grades since 2010 and the Peabody plant (US) -which joined the Rousselot Group in 2011- now almost exclusively produces pharmaceutical quality gelatines.

Specialist in encapsulation

Ideal for protecting active ingredients from external aggression, Rousselot pharmaceutical gelatines can be used to make top quality hard or soft capsules and microcapsules, offering the opportunity to innovate. Examples of innovation will be available in the Rousselot booth.

Peptan^® collagen peptides for healthy aging

Peptan^® collagen peptides are globally recognized for their proven effect in promoting the health of bones, joints and skin beauty. At the CPhI, Rousselot will focus on the multiple benefits of collagen peptides linked to healthy aging and their unique ability to help seniors maintain mobility with age.  

The functional and organoleptic qualities of collagen peptides make them easy to integrate into numerous nutraceutical applications – such as drinks, tablets, bars – as demonstrated by the applications on display at the Rousselot booth.

Rousselot’s sales and technical teams will be delighted to welcome visitors to the CPHI at booth 9D35.
