Press Release Body: (August 28 2008) Roquette Pharma, a longstanding supplier of
high-quality raw materials and excipients for pharmaceutical and cosmetic
applications, will be showcasing a selection of its key product ranges at CPhI
Worldwide, Messe Frankfurt, Germany, September 30 - October 2 2008, stand 60D05.
Roquette develops ingredients and excipients from natural harvests such as wheat,
maize, pea and potatoes. Roquette offers a comprehensive product portfolio, ranging
from starches and sugars to speciality products including polyols and cyclodextrins.


New on Roquette's stand at CPhI will be ReadiLYCOATTM. Roquette recently has
announced a European strategic partnership with Biogrund for the development of
ReadiLYCOATT, a new ready-to-use film coating platform for pharmaceutical and
nutraceutical applications. Utilising Roquette's new starch-based film coating
polymer LYCOAT®, ReadiLYCOATT has opened the way for a series of remarkable advances
in film coating. Most notably, ReadiLYCOATTM offers a dramatic reduction in coating
time and does not affect the dissolution and stability, regardless of the API.
Roquette's LYCOAT® is an aqueous film coating polymer which ensures low viscosity
dispersions at a high solids content. Its excellent film integrity and adhesion
qualities provide additional advantages.

Among the product brands shown on stand 60D05 will be PEARLITOL®, Roquette's
mannitol range. With very low hygroscopicity and exceptional chemical stability,
PEARLITOL® mannitol offers the ideal solution in excipients for stable formulations.
In addition, PEARLITOL® offers grades for a wide range of applications from
classical tablets and capsules to sachets.

Also showcased on stand 60D05 will be Roquette's KLEPTOSE®, a second generation
range of modified betacyclodextrins. Together with different substituted
betacyclodextrins, the KLEPTOSE® range caters for the specific needs of the
pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. The pioneering Roquette range offers several
advantages including the possibility of increased solubilisation power while
maintaining a high biological tolerance.
