Food supplements decline boosts plant extract
Frutarom said its HyperPure technology, originally used in the company’s pharmaceutical-grade facility, gently processes botanical nutraceuticals, without impairing their bioactivity or health benefits.
‘Eco-green’ technology
This sustainable, “eco-green” technology maintains the nature of the ingredient while achieving improved solubility.
“By using the proprietary HyperPure technology, we can ensure the removal of a wide range of contaminants,” explained Matthias Kreuter, chief scientific officer of Frutarom’s health business unit.
‘Undesired by-products’
“These include pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and unsaturated fatty acids that undergo rapid peroxidation, degrading other ingredients and producing undesired by-products such as heptanol.”
Last year, the EU advised on maximum levels of PAHs in food supplements.
