New Launches from Ingredion, MGP, Glanbia, BioHarvest and More

New Ingredients

Ingredion Incorporated announced that Health Canada granted approval of its quillaja extract (type 2) as an emulsifying agent for oil-based coloring formulations, unstandardized oil-based flavoring preparations, and other unstandardized oil-based ingredients that are used in a number of foods and beverages.

Research shows that MGP’s Fibersym® RW resistant wheat starch has multiple benefits that include acting like a prebiotic fiber, aiding in digestive health, assisting in weight management, as well as the management of blood glucose levels, while also reducing calories and lowering cholesterol levels.

Over at BioHarvest, the preliminary clinical results of its flagship product, VINIA™, have been released. VINIA™ is a red grape powder that contains a complex of polyphenols (40 mg), including resveratrol (5 mg), and can be added to existing food and beverage products or consumed directly, in addition to providing the benefits of drinking red wine, without the extra sugar, calories, or alcohol. VINIA™ has gone through ten years of scientific rigor to produce a number of significant pre-clinical and clinical trial studies that uphold its structure-function claims to support heart health, promote healthy blood circulation, and aid antioxidant activity.

Applied Food Sciences Inc. (AFS) designed its latest ingredient PurTea™, a new organic green tea extract standardized for caffeine and catechins and designed as a novel natural source of energy for beverages.
