DuPont Nutrition & Health has launched solutions for Indian rotis in packaged format.The new concept of ‘packaged roti’ is inspired from the growing need for convenience food by the Indian household. Rich in carbohydrates from whole wheat grain, the concept targets consumers who are turning their back on traditional homemade rotis and demand for a semi-cooked or ready-to-eat format with home cooked freshness and taste. Functional ingredients in roti Recent scientific studies at the company’s largest research and development center for food ingredients in Brabrand, Denmark, have explored fundamental mechanisms and flour components that contribute to flat bread quality. The findings shed new light on the effects of functional ingredients in roti recipes including soy proteins. Keeping this in mind, DuPont Nutrition & Health scientists have developed a versatile range of fresh-keeping solutions to improve softness, taste and shelf-life of this Indian staple.
