Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today announced the launch of
SmartBind™ natural wheat proteins. SmartBind can be used in nutrition
bars, cereal coatings, whole grain baked goods, microwavable bakery
products and other food applications.
Wheat-based proteins are often used in baked goods and nutritious foods
to further enhance delicate taste and fine texture. An extension of
ADM’s Prolite® line, SmartBind can be used in products that require
natural ingredients to increase protein, enhance structure, reduce sugar
and fat, and replace eggs or dairy products.
“SmartBind is a natural extension of ADM’s existing line of proteins and
protein isolate application expertise,” said Neal Bassi, director of
sales, wheat starch and proteins, ADM Milling. “Our technical and
application team developed SmartBind to help food manufacturers meet the
increasing consumer demand for nutritious foods made with natural
ingredients.”
