Solae Europe Introduces Innovative Soy Protein Isolate

SUPRO(R)XF Delivers Exceptional Flavour and Functional Performance for High Protein Beverages

FRANKFURT, November 17 - Today, at Food Ingredients Europe, Solae, LLC, the world's leader in
developing soy-based technologies and ingredients for nutritious,
great-tasting products, is introducing another breakthrough ingredient -
SUPRO(R) XF - in Europe. This soy protein isolate from Solae uses proprietary
technology to enhance the flavour and functionality for ready-to-drink and
powder beverages. Earlier this year, Solae launched SUPRO(R) XF in the U.S.

"As the industry leader, Solae has invested in strong science-based
research and development strategies, and continues to invest in health and
nutrition," said Torkel Rhenman, CEO — Solae. "This enables us to develop
exciting new ingredients, such as SUPRO(R) XF, that deliver quality,
great-tasting products for our customers and the end consumer."

SUPRO(R) XF delivers the flavour performance, mouthfeel and nutritional
performance critical for beverage applications in sports performance, weight
management and clinical nutrition segments. SUPRO(R) XF is a high-quality,
complete protein made with patent-pending technology that produces unique
peptide amino acid sequences and functionality. This soy protein isolate
includes lower levels of soy volatiles for a less beany flavour, higher
solubility at neutral to slightly acidic pH ranges compared to other soy
proteins, and a low viscosity profile similar to hydrolyzed proteins while
avoiding their bitter flavour.

"SUPRO(R) XF is unique in that it can enable higher inclusion levels of
soy protein in beverages while delivering great taste," said Reinhart
Schmitt, Vice President — Solae Europe.

SUPRO(R) XF soy protein isolates can replace up to 100 percent of the
high-value dairy protein in an existing formula while maintaining or
improving the overall sensory experience. In formulas where soy is the sole
protein source, SUPRO(R) XF can deliver a positive taste experience at the 30
gram protein per 12 ounce serving level. Solae's sensory data shows that a
sports nutrition beverage formulated with SUPRO(R) XF is preferred by
consumers 2:1 over the leading commercial brand.

To taste a product concept using SUPRO(R) XF, visit the Solae booth at
Food Ingredients Europe, number 8M6. For food manufacturers seeking more
