Chitin gluten-free fibre ingredient approved in Taiwan

30-Jan-2012

Stratum Nutrition has announced that the Taiwanese Food and Drug Administration has recently approved the chitin-glucan fibre from Aspergillus niger, branded Artinia, as a food ingredient that can be used without any restriction.

Stratum Nutrition has partnered with Chambio, leading distributor in Taiwan, to distribute Artinia. The partnership aims to expand Artinia into Asian markets.

Artinia is a gluten-free fibre that supports healthy arteries. Stratum Nutrition says this European Commission approved novel food ingredient and self-affirmed 'generally recognised as safe' ingredient, has been shown to support cardiovascular health by protecting LDL-cholesterol from oxidation.

It also claims multiple studies have shown that Artinia supports the body's natural defences.
