Tailor-made PreventASe solutions for acrylamide mitigation

DSM Food Specialties introduces a complete portfolio of application-specific and tailor-made PreventASe solutions.

PreventASe is now available in three formulations covering specific food applications under the following sub-brands: Panna, Bicra and Xtru.

PreventASe has been successfully received by the market since its launch in 2007 for food applications such as biscuits, crackers, snacks, (French or potato) fries and bread (products).

PreventASe Panna has been specifically developed for wheat based products including bread, biscuits and crackers; PreventASe Bicra has been formulated for specific subcategories of biscuits, and PreventASe Xtru for extruded snacks.

In July 2008, PreventASe also received approval from the Joint FAO/ WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), endorsing the dossier by independent scientific experts that advice the Codex Commission and its specialist committees.

This latest authorisation follows earlier authorisations by the French and Danish authorities in 2007; and the recent approval from the Federal Office of Public Health in Switzerland for the use of PreventASe as a processing aid in June 2008.
