Primeval superfood meets 21st century

As part of Hi Europe & Ni 2018, GoodMills Innovation demonstrated how innovative products can be created from ancient pseudo grains

At this year's Hi Europe & Ni, GoodMills Innovation showcased a functional ingredient rich in heritage but one that had long been forgotten: Tartary Buckwheat, which contains phytochemical rutin, an effective ingredient for Traditional Chinese Medicine.

This prehistoric pseudo grain scores highly as an ingredient thanks to its added nutritional value and, as a result of state-of-the-art refinement technology, offers the best taste properties for various applications.

The grain specialist also used the trade show to present a prebiotic wholegrain fibre concentrate before its official market launch next year. Thanks to specially processed dietary fibres, this is regarded as optimum 'feed' for intestinal flora.

The RutinX product range includes both flour and crispies made from fermented Tartary Buckwheat. The high content of rutin, which is a known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, is of particular nutritional interest. Also rich in the trace element zinc, baked goods with RutinX support carbohydrate metabolism. In early 2019, additional scientific studies will be launched to investigate the blood sugar-regulating properties of this superfood.

Michael Gusko, Managing Director of GoodMills Innovation, said, "Despite all the health benefits of Tartary Buckwheat, it also offered us a great challenge: the taste. That's because the rutin contained in the pseudo grain causes a very strong bitter note. However, we found the solution in a patented, special fermentation process. This allows us to achieve an optimal sensory profile and, at the same time, maintain the full nutritional benefit and even expand it."

RutinX is ideally suited for bread and roll recipes, as well as for pastries.
