DSM wins the innovation award with the iCheck® Egg

Published: September 3, 2008

In its constant search to improve the quality of food, DSM Nutritional Products presents an innovation that once again brings added value for all those involved in the poultry industry. This innovation is intended for CAROPHYLL® users and aims to assure a reliable color for egg-based products.

The use of egg products in foodstuffs is increasing steadily, particularly in Europe. This increase can be attributed to the use of egg yolk in products which make up consumers’ every-day purchases: pasta, mousses, mayonnaise, biscuits, pastries, etc.

In this context, professionals will want to have a stable and consistent raw material such as egg yolk in order to guarantee a uniform color for their food products, as it is this color that can be a decisive factor at the moment of purchase.


The expertise of CAROPHYLL® CHECK

DSM Nutritional Products has recognized this situation and proposes the CAROPHYLL® CHECK solution to better serve professionals in the food industry. This new concept is based on 3 key points:

     1. Dietary recommendations, for laying hens in order to produce homogenous eggs of the required color.

     2. The iCheck® Egg, a kit allowing rapid monitoring of the color of eggs and egg products. It is easy to
         use and gives results in less than 10 minutes.

     3. The CAROPHYLL® range. Identical to natural carotenoids, it contains an innovative, high quality
         formulation made from 100% plant-based ingredients that has been certified according to FAMI.QS.
         Produced in France, CAROPHYLL® is manufactured according to the DSM standard, based on four
         principles: Safety, Quality, Traceability and Reliability (SQTR).


In summary

The CAROPHYLL® Check solution for the egg processing industry, validated by the DSM iCheck®, is a tremendous opportunity for egg users to have a raw material that will enable them to market products that correspond to the wishes of consumers. The traceability of the use of CAROPHYLL® throughout the process is essential to ensure a consistent quality standard.


Space 2008 awards the iCheck® Egg the Innov’Space prize

The DSM team looks forward to meeting you at their stand to advise you about CAROPHYLL® Check and its measurement tool, the DSM iCheck®. DSM stand: Hall 9, Aisle B, Stand 44 from 9–12 September 2008, Rennes (France)
