Functional Ingredients

We comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines/

• Discovery of Ingredient or use your commodity to convert as a product
• To confirm the physical and chemical properties of food, we use the knowledge of structure analysis, analytical chemistry and polymer science.
• Nutrient intelligence research
• Dosage formulation and strength
• Functional Food Ingredient Formulation
• Formula Review/Ingredient Assessment / Product Compliance
• Product-specific Regulatory guidelines/standards
• Shelf stability studies
• Bioavailability research
• Clinical Trial testing (in vitro and in vivo study)
• Publish papers and make presentations at academic meetings in nutrition science and medicine
• Packaging and testing
• Patient compliance
• Dossier report preparation
• Labelling and regulatory compliance
• Label artwork and design
• Novel Food Registration
• Regulatory Intelligence
• Claim consultation and substantiation
• Guidance for Import Regulations in the UK, the FDA regulation for conventional food additives and dietary supplements

• Our formulation scientists develop functional food into different forms, including seed mixes, liquids, and powders.
• We develop different ingredients for different applications (e.g., Energy and performance, functional beverages, bakery, sweets and confectionery, over-the-counter, cereals, grains and starches, new protein sources, dairy and dairy alternatives products) and purposes.
• We formulate key ingredients along with we formulate own or custom flavours and sweeteners blends
  • Vitamins
  • Minerals
  • Carbohydrates and Fibres (Potato flour, Corn flour, Rice flour, Wheat flour, Oats flour, Cereal flours mixes, Gluten-free cereal flours mixes, Dextrinated cereal mixes, Inulin)
  • Extracts, Plants, Fruits, Vegetables and Algae
  • Essential Fatty acids
  • Proteins, Peptides (e.g., L-Carnitine, Chondroitin, Whey Protein, Casein, Milk powder protein) and Amino acids (e.g., Tryptophan, Phenylalanine, Methionine, Lysin, Isoleucine, Histidine)
• Our formulation experts develop a wide range of functional ingredients such as protein hydrolysate, mung bean protein, rice protein, conjugated linoleic acid, omega-6, omega-3, pectin, modified starch, polydextrose, probiotics and maltodextrin. We also formulate extruded grain and protein crisps, pregelatinized rice flour, gluten-free bread, dried texturized protein, and coatings.
• by-products (Fruit and Vegetables; Cereals, Legumes, Nuts and Oilseeds; Brewery, Winery, and Distillery), microalgae as a functional ingredient (e.g. the most popular species are Arthrospira(traditional name, Spirulina), Chlorella, Dunaliella spp. and Haematococcus spp), a functional ingredient from poultry meat processing (e.g. functional ingredients in the forms of inorganic salts (i.e. sodium chloride, phosphates, bicarbonate) and organic compounds mainly from plant and animal origins ;
• Vegetable and fruit by-products as functional ingredients -  black bean seed coat, flaxseed hulls (FH), soybean hulls, Pea Hulls, Potato Peels, apricot kernel, legume seed coat, mango seed kernel, fibre, Pomegranate Peel, Tomato Pomace, grape Pomace etc
• The benefit cognitive development, brain, eye, heart and immune system, we formulate ingredients rich in fatty acids (omega 3, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, DHA, EPA & CLA)
• To prevent free radical damage, we identify raw materials /ingredients that are Antioxidants rich
• Digestive and immune health and gastrointestinal benefits – we focus on pre and probiotics rich ingredients
• Digestive health and maintenance of healthy blood glucose levels – our focus would be on dietary fibre, resistant starch (different types)
• Heart-healthy and cholesterol reduction – we concentrate on plant sterols and stanols
• Bone, prostate, immune and heart – our focus would be on a wide range of minerals
• Eye, immune, brain and bone health – vitamins would be our focus
• Health benefits – we have a wide range of Herbs that has wider health benefits
• Eye and Prostate health and neutralization of free radicals – we focus on carotenoids
• Heart, urinary tract, brain health and neutralization of free radicals – our focus would be on flavonoids
• Bone, immune and brain health, menopausal health for women – we focus on phytoestrogens-rich ingredients.
• Our formulation experts, along with our procurement team, hunt for the latest ingredients across the globe or develop one based on the client's feasibility.

• We adopt the latest technology and processing to identify the best possible method to make the product healthier without compromising taste.
• For instance, to process plant raw materials, we use aqueous and solvent-based extraction methods; for separation – we utilize ultra-filtration and dynamic cross filtration units; for concentration and drying, rotary evaporator, and drying units (e.g., spray dryer, cabinet dryer, belt dryer, and freeze dryer),
• We have the capability to develop functional food ingredients prototypes with different flavour blends and fun products
• Our R&D team formulated savouries products by balancing sensory characteristics, flavour, better solubility, and texture.

• Product reformulation or reverse engineering
• Product formulation
• Unlimited trials of a prototype of savouries products
• Sensory / organoleptic testing in our ISO laboratory is performed by our team of in-house sensory experts, trained panels and consumers.
• Full database Nutritional analyses
• Shelf-life stability study
• You will have an opportunity to brainstorm requirements with our scientists and technologists.
• We strictly work under the terms of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which guarantees that all your work with us remains top secret.
• We often work on shorter deadlines and fast turnaround with flexibility.

• At the food and nutraceutical R&D laboratory, we are stocked with food handling equipment, containers, food control and monitoring equipment, and necessary lab-scale production equipment
• We collaborate with co-packers to supply packaging materials
• Our food experts and researchers work with innovative concepts to bring up new ideas in creating trendy products with nutritional benefits and play with different ingredients in developing healthy, tasty, flavourful and mouth-watering products for the consumers.

• High Protein ingredients (e.g., Microalgae as functional ingredients such as T Suecicia, P tricornutum
• High Fiber
• Peptides (e.g., milk-derived peptides – precursor protein - β-casein – peptide class – casomorphins)
• Probiotics (e.g., strains - acidophilus La-5, L. acidophilus, L. Casei Shirota, L. johnsonii, L. Plantarum, L. reuteri, L. rhamnosus, L.fermetum, L.Crispatus, L. acidophilus, L. fermentum; Bifidobacterium lactis)
• Prebiotic products
• Dairy ingredients (milk, colostrum, whey) and dairy components (e.g. calcium, folic acid, vitamin E, Iodine, Immunopeptides, casein phosphopeptides, lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin, bioactive peptides, galactooligosaccharides, lactic acid bacteria.
