The System Behind Smarter Carbohydrates

MSI™ is the framework behind how Lathell builds better carbohydrate systems for the real world. Different foods need carbohydrates to do different jobs. MSI™ matches the right metabolically optimized carbohydrate system to the right food function.

That is how a sweetener, a flour system, a starch system, and a bulking system can all live under one organized platform instead of being treated like random ingredients.

What MSI™ Means

MSI™ is a functional carbohydrate intelligence system. It is the logic behind how carbohydrate solutions are designed around what food actually needs them to do.

Most people talk about carbohydrates as if they are all the same. They are not. A beverage does not need the same carbohydrate behavior as bread. A soup does not need the same carbohydrate behavior as a powder mix. A dessert does not need the same carbohydrate behavior as pasta.

MSI™ solves that problem by organizing carbohydrates according to real food function, then building a smarter version for each one.

Core Idea

Food requires carbohydrates.

The real question is which carbohydrate system should be doing which job.

MSI™ is the answer to that problem.

Why MSI™ Matters

MSI™ matters because real food systems need function-specific carbohydrate solutions. It gives Lathell a clear and scalable platform for sweetness, structure, thickening, bulking, and controlled fermentable use.

Instead of forcing one ingredient to do everything, MSI™ starts with a better question: What does this food need the carbohydrate to do?

Once that question is clear, the right SAFE carbohydrate class can be matched to the function. That makes the platform stronger for industrial reformulation, institutional nutrition, product development, and category expansion.

The 5 Core Functions of MSI™

Each function exists because food requires different carbohydrate behaviors. Drinks need dissolving carbs. Bread needs structure. Sauces need thickening. Powders need body. Fermentation needs controlled support.

1

Sweetness

Carbohydrates that dissolve and sweeten without creating unwanted thickness.

Use: tea, coffee, soda, desserts, sweet foods

SAFE Class: SAFE SUGAR™ / SAFE SYRUP™

2

Structural

Carbohydrates that help create dough, crumb, bite, and shape.

Use: bread, pizza, pasta, baked foods

SAFE Class: SAFE FLOUR™ / SAFE GRAIN™

3

Thickening / Gelling

Carbohydrates that create viscosity, stability, and gel structure.

Use: sauces, soups, fillings, processed foods

SAFE Class: SAFE STARCH™

4

Bulking / Body

Carbohydrates that add volume, mass, mouthfeel, and functional body.

Use: powder blends, bars, reduced-sugar foods

SAFE Class: SAFE BULKING CARB™

5

Controlled Fermentable

Carbohydrates that support fermentation when fermentation is needed, but in a more deliberate system.

Use: yeast doughs, cultured systems, selected manufacturing applications

SAFE Class: SAFE FERMENTABLE CARB™

MSI

Platform Logic

MSI™ is not just one ingredient story. It is a full system for building smarter carbohydrate solutions across food categories.

Outcome: clearer product logic, stronger scalability, broader market reach

Carbs do different jobs in food. MSI™ is the system for making the safer, smarter version for each job.

What Makes MSI™ Different

Most carbohydrate products are presented as isolated ingredients. MSI™ is different because it is a platform logic built around the function food actually needs.

MSI™ Starts With Function

  • What does the carbohydrate need to do?
  • Does the food need sweetness, structure, thickening, bulking, or controlled fermentation?
  • Which SAFE class best fits that role?
  • How can that system support better real-world food use?

MSI™ Supports Scale

  • Beverages
  • Bakery
  • Snacks
  • Powder systems
  • Staple foods
  • Institutional nutrition
  • Future reformulation partnerships

MSI™ and the SAFE Carbohydrate Platform

MSI™ is the operating logic behind the broader SAFE carbohydrate family. These are not random product names. They are organized parts of a larger system.

  • SAFE SUGAR™
  • SAFE SYRUP™
  • SAFE FLOUR™
  • SAFE GRAIN™
  • SAFE STARCH™
  • SAFE BULKING CARB™
  • SAFE FERMENTABLE CARB™
  • Future SAFE carbohydrate modules

Smarter Carbohydrate Systems Start With Function

MSI™ gives Lathell a structured way to build carbohydrate systems that match real food behavior. That is what makes the platform bigger than a single sweetener story.

It creates a stronger foundation for ingredient supply, industrial reformulation, institutional nutrition, co-development partnerships, licensing pathways, and future category expansion.
