Slick solution for infant formula
Ingredient developer Lycored has launched a line of oily blends using fatty acid premixes designed for infant formulae. Manufactured at the firm's new lipid formulation facility in Kent, the oily blends will use a custom-made composition of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and other oily soluble ingredients.
"LycoRed is providing formulation expertise specifically focused on high-value functional lipids for customers who have difficulty in either handling highly sensitive lipids or need a specific premix manufactured in a highly controlled environment," explains Lycored md Peter Gallagher.
The new plant has the flexibility to produce both small scale pilot batches and full scale commercial batches, which the company claims will save customers time and money. "We showed our clients the plans for the new plant and asked them to advise us as to what processing technologies would best serve their future product development," he says.
Beyond infant formulas, the facility is equipped to manufacture mixtures of plant, algae and marine lipids with other active ingredients.
