FUNCTIONALITIES
GLUTALYS® HQD is a gluten-rich, non-hydrolyzed protein source from corn, intended for soil and plant
nutrition. GLUTALYS® HQD is mainly composed of prolamine-type proteins that are rich in leucine.
The other substances, namely albumin, globulin and glutelin, have relatively high levels of lysine and
tryptophan. Eventually, glutamic acid is the most represented amino acid.
The low water solubility of GLUTALYS® HQD enables a slow release of nitrogen for long-term nutrition
of soils and plants, while the soluble nitrogen fraction makes it a good short-term solution for easily
accessible nitrogen supplementation. Moreover, GLUTALYS® HQD exhibits a long shelf-life as a bagged
dry material, allowing it to be stored easily and applied to the soil when needed.

DEFINITION Polyols are substances obtained by reducing simple or complex sugars. The majority of these products are derived from starch, vastly contained in cereals like corn or wheat. Thanks to their specific properties, Roquette polyols can be used in various applications such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals and the agricultural market. Polyols are described in the literature as agents helping the plant resist abiotic stress (e.g., high osmotic pressure). Moreover, polyols like mannitol and sorbitol perform well during a freeze-drying process as they impact the osmotic pressure of the solution: • Mannitol: freeze-dried powder. • Sorbitol: protein stabilization allowing storage at low and ultra-low temperature.
FUNCTIONALITIES Our polyols, like sorbitol and mannitol, are commonly used for their humectant and biostimulant properties in the plant care industry. As the global leader in polyols, Roquette has a strong expertise and technical skills for producing high- quality products, using time-tested methods that guarantee the reproducibility.
PRODUCT RANGE NEOSORB®
NEOSORB® is obtained by the hydrogenation of D-glucose, which is produced by the hydrolysis of cereal starch. NEOSORB® is a colorless and odorless syrup. It can also be further crystallized through a dehydration step, in order to form a white odorless sorbitol powder.
NEOSORB® is a hexitol, with a chemical structure similar to that of other polyols, such as glycerol, pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane and glycols. It contains two primary and four secondary alcohol groups, providing unique properties to the molecule.

SOLUTAB®
FUNCTIONALITIES
SOLUTAB® is widely used in its solid form as an aid in active ingredient dissolution for a variety of applications. It can be applied in direct compression applications, but also in wet and dry granulation.
SOLUTAB® is composed of croscarmellose sodium, an insoluble hydrophilic polymer. The polymer structure facilitates both capillary wicking and swelling to achieve high capacity water absorption, resulting in a radial expansion. This leads to swelling and the rapid breakdown of formulations, with a high efficiency, even when used in low doses.
SOLUTAB® helps the dissolution by preventing a gel formation that would encapsulate the active ingredient.

GLYCOLYS®
FUNCTIONALITIES
Reliable super-disintegrant efficiency comes with Roquette’s long-standing experience in the field. GLYCOLYS® is a super-disintegrant derived from reticulated carboxymethylstarch sodium salt.
GLYCOLYS® has been developed and produced exclusively by Roquette for more than 30 years. The experience gained by Roquette with our GLYCOLYS® range of sodium starch glycolates has made the company a supplier of choice when help is needed to develop formulations.
DEFINITION Roquette has developed an optimized production process for ideal disintegration properties:
• To maximize the surface exposed to water potato starch is the preferred raw material for GLYCOLYS®, as its granules are relatively large.
• To avoid viscosity development during the disintegration process, which would delay bioactive compound dissolution, cross-linking is performed on potato starch.
• For a maximum speed of disintegration, the starch ability to swell is significantly increased by rendering it more hydrophilic through a carboxymethylation step.
• For a maximum purity in our GLYCOLYS® products, neutralization and washing is performed.

FUNCTIONALITIES
GLUTALYS® HQD is a gluten-rich, non-hydrolyzed protein source from corn, intended for soil and plant
nutrition. GLUTALYS® HQD is mainly composed of prolamine-type proteins that are rich in leucine.
The other substances, namely albumin, globulin and glutelin, have relatively high levels of lysine and
tryptophan. Eventually, glutamic acid is the most represented amino acid.
The low water solubility of GLUTALYS® HQD enables a slow release of nitrogen for long-term nutrition
of soils and plants, while the soluble nitrogen fraction makes it a good short-term solution for easily
accessible nitrogen supplementation. Moreover, GLUTALYS® HQD exhibits a long shelf-life as a bagged
dry material, allowing it to be stored easily and applied to the soil when needed.
DEFINITION Concentrated protein extracted from corn through a wet milling process.

DEFINITION Polyols are substances obtained by reducing simple or complex sugars. The majority of these products are derived from starch, vastly contained in cereals like corn or wheat. Thanks to their specific properties, Roquette polyols can be used in various applications such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals and the agricultural market. Polyols are described in the literature as agents helping the plant resist abiotic stress (e.g., high osmotic pressure). Moreover, polyols like mannitol and sorbitol perform well during a freeze-drying process as they impact the osmotic pressure of the solution: • Mannitol: freeze-dried powder. • Sorbitol: protein stabilization allowing storage at low and ultra-low temperature.
FUNCTIONALITIES Our polyols, like sorbitol and mannitol, are commonly used for their humectant and biostimulant properties in the plant care industry. As the global leader in polyols, Roquette has a strong expertise and technical skills for producing high- quality products, using time-tested methods that guarantee the reproducibility.
PRODUCT RANGE NEOSORB®
NEOSORB® is obtained by the hydrogenation of D-glucose, which is produced by the hydrolysis of cereal starch. NEOSORB® is a colorless and odorless syrup. It can also be further crystallized through a dehydration step, in order to form a white odorless sorbitol powder.
NEOSORB® is a hexitol, with a chemical structure similar to that of other polyols, such as glycerol, pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane and glycols. It contains two primary and four secondary alcohol groups, providing unique properties to the molecule.

SOLUTAB®
FUNCTIONALITIES
SOLUTAB® is widely used in its solid form as an aid in active ingredient dissolution for a variety of applications. It can be applied in direct compression applications, but also in wet and dry granulation.
SOLUTAB® is composed of croscarmellose sodium, an insoluble hydrophilic polymer. The polymer structure facilitates both capillary wicking and swelling to achieve high capacity water absorption, resulting in a radial expansion. This leads to swelling and the rapid breakdown of formulations, with a high efficiency, even when used in low doses.
SOLUTAB® helps the dissolution by preventing a gel formation that would encapsulate the active ingredient.

GLYCOLYS®
FUNCTIONALITIES
Reliable super-disintegrant efficiency comes with Roquette’s long-standing experience in the field. GLYCOLYS® is a super-disintegrant derived from reticulated carboxymethylstarch sodium salt.
GLYCOLYS® has been developed and produced exclusively by Roquette for more than 30 years. The experience gained by Roquette with our GLYCOLYS® range of sodium starch glycolates has made the company a supplier of choice when help is needed to develop formulations.
DEFINITION Roquette has developed an optimized production process for ideal disintegration properties:
• To maximize the surface exposed to water potato starch is the preferred raw material for GLYCOLYS®, as its granules are relatively large.
• To avoid viscosity development during the disintegration process, which would delay bioactive compound dissolution, cross-linking is performed on potato starch.
• For a maximum speed of disintegration, the starch ability to swell is significantly increased by rendering it more hydrophilic through a carboxymethylation step.
• For a maximum purity in our GLYCOLYS® products, neutralization and washing is performed.
