IQI is cooperating with Royal Buisman concerning caramelized sugars for application in pet foods. Caramelized sugars are light to dark brown or powders (they can also be a liquid, but IQI focuses on selling a pure powder), which are obtained by the traditional process of controlled heating of carbohydrates. Royal Buisman offers so-called Natural Caramelized Sugars (NCS). NCS are made from carbohydrates only, without the use of reactants. Caramelized sugars as flavorings
In the EU, flavorings must comply with the Regulation (EC) No. 1334/2008.
