Agriculturalists seek naturally derived organics that are able to activate plant metabolism, promote tolerance to abiotic stress and enhance overall nutrition. Plant-derived nutritive agents, chelants and biostimulants, such as plant extracts and hydrolyzates, contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds (such as soluble peptides and amino acids) that:

• Increase nutrient absorption • Promote stress tolerance • Provide key nutrients and growth factors • Enable reduction of inorganic fertilizers • Stimulate root growth • Improve germination

These products are used in foliar and soil applications for fruits, vegetables, row crops, hydroponics, and in a wide range of other domains, like gardening for example.

FUNCTIONALITIES Our polyols, like and , 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.

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.

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.

KLEPTOSE® FUNCTIONALITIES Roquette has developed a wide range of carriers for encapsulation, using a variety of vegetable sources. Our solutions are designed to solubilize a large range of molecules. Encapsulation agents and carriers can be chosen based on a variety of criteria, including oxidation resistance, amylose content, solubility, dispersion, viscosity and impact on glass transition points.

DEFINITION PRODUCT RANGE
