Capsugel is launching its new technology that enables its vegetarian, acid-resistant DRcaps™ hard capsules suitable for liquid-fill applications at SupplySide West 2015. The capsules are made of an innovative vegetarian polymer that slows down capsule opening after swallowing, effectively masks the unpleasant tastes and odors of certain ingredients, and reduces the aftertaste caused by ingredients such as garlic, without the need for shellac coatings. Because of their acid-resistant properties, DRcaps capsules are suited for highly acid-sensitive supplements—including probiotics, enzymes and certain sports nutrition ingredients. To bring these same properties to liquid-filled capsules, Capsugel is combining its new vegetarian-banding technology with its proprietary liquid-fill platform.

American Medical Holdings in association with Japan Bioactives launched FB3 ®Fusion Ingredient Beverage for the weight-management category. FB3 Fusion Ingredient is a novel herbal composition of Coleus forskohlii, Salacia reticulata, and Sesamum indicum, standardized for forskolin, salacinol, and sesamin, respectively. The ingredient was shown, in vitro, to inhibit pancreatic lipase with differing degrees and dynamics. The published study of the formula demonstrated its botanicals synergistically preventing absorption of excess dietary fat (omega-6 fatty acids are typically abundant in the Western diet). Hypothetically, preventing absorption of excess dietary fat and omega-6 fatty acids may gradually normalize the overactive endocannabinoid system, thereby preventing obesity, especially if this approach is combined with consuming an omega-3 fatty acids-rich diet which competes with omega-6 fatty acid absorption.
Combined with a green extraction process, FB3 beverage offers an attractive product for growing number of consumers who desire healthy and convenient food supplements.
KD Omega Health launched KD-Kap™ encapsulated omega-3 products as a shelf-stable solution for water-based applications in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, food and beverage. KD Omega Health’s highly flexible patented MicroJet Reactor technology creates KD-Kap omega-3 that is both protected from oxidation and easily mixable in water.

Fruit d'Or announced a few new endeavors and products:
Fruit d’Or collaborated with Sunny Crunch Foods Ltd. to create a cranberry-probiotic nutrition bar: Pro Cran.
Fruit d'Or Nutraceuticals introduced organic cranberry juice powders to the beverage and dietary supplement markets.
Fruit d'Or Nutraceuticals released of a cranberry dossier.
Pro Cran features Cran Naturelle blended with protein, prebiotics and probiotics for digestive health and overall well-being. The cranberry seed contains a potent oil that is cold-pressed; the "leftover" seed meal is then dried and milled under a proprietary process to maintain the integrity of the cranberry seed with no degradation. The prebiotic in the bar is derived from the cranberry seed and the probiotic is a strain called Bacillus coagulans; the cranberry seed powder and Bacillus coagulans is currently marketed as an ingredient called Lacto Cran. Each Pro Cran bar delivers 2 billion CFU probiotic cultures, contains 4 g of cranberry seed powder and 12 g of protein. The Pro Cran bar is coated in vanilla yogurt and is low in calories and sugar.
Fruit d'Or Nutraceuticals’ new organic spray-dried, water-soluble cranberry juice powders were developed from cranberry juice concentrate using a special drying process called infrared. This drying process involves low temperatures that limit the degradation of the integrity of the cranberry juice concentrate and has many advantages over spray-, freeze- and drum-drying technology. They feature a better taste profile, richer color, and more attractive flowability and dispersion that makes it much easier for supplement and beverage manufacturers to use.
The cranberry dossier is an “effort to help debunk the junk in the cranberry industry and set higher quality standards for both cranberry ingredients and cranberry products," according to Stephen Lukawski, director of global sales and development, Fruit d'Or. “The dossier has been designed to better educate industry stakeholders of the importance of the whole cranberry and that not all cranberry is the same quality." It covers the history, science and research of the whole cranberry, and details the latest research that extends cranberry's use beyond UTIs and into other health applications such as oral care, gut health ,cardio health, prostate and skin care.
