Super foods-based Powders and drinks

Superfoods have been one of the fastest-growing segments as a result of growing concerns about the effects of diet on health. Superfood is any fresh or natural or processed food claimed to have particular health-promoting attributes and /or can decrease the risk of chronic degenerative illness, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and cancer. Several studies have shown that superfoods have various beneficial physiological effects, and their consumption can reduce the risk of disease development or even cure some diseases as they are rich in bioactive molecules for minimal calories.

Evidence showed that superfoods contain the most important antioxidants, mostly vitamins A, C and E, flavonoids, selenium, β-carotene, zinc, lycopene, albumin, uric acid, bilirubin, coenzyme Q10 and polyphenols such as anthocyanidins. At FRL’s food and nutraceutical research laboratory, we assist our clients in developing / formulating superfoods using different types of raw materials in the form of drinks, gummies, bars, cookies, multigrain mix, candies, snacks, spreads etc.

Super foods-based Powders and drinks

Food Research Lab(FRL) can be the right fit for your Super foods-based Powders and drinks developments because we.

  • A superfoods-based prototype that meets your nutritional specifications and macronutrient goals within the sphere of physical and scientific possibility by using a unique combination of nutrient-dense ingredients
  • A prototype that meets the regulatory requirement that governs food processing, including those established by the FDA and the EU. For instance, the ‘superfood claim’ should be translated into approved health claims. For instance, for prunes, the approved claim is “prunes contribute to normal bowel function – the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 100g of prunes”. We help you to translate your superfoods into approved health claims as per the regulations.
  • An evidence-based prototype that specifically meets the targeted consumer base's nutritional requirements, keeping with recommended daily amounts (RDA’s)
  • While formulating a superfoods product, the chosen raw material should have tremendous water absorption capability, improving ingredient binding.
  • Since there is a wide range of raw materials, identification of the right cereals / raw material is essential, and FRL formulators have vast experience in handling this arena. For instance, amaranth and quinoa both have similar water holding capacity and protein contribution, but flavours are fairly different. Therefore, identifying the right ingredient based on their unique attributes is necessary, especially when there is a supply issue arises.
  • Our formulation team also advises on using alternative raw materials (e.g., barley, buckwheat) to enhance the nutritional properties of bakery goods. It needs to reduce or eliminate additives or undesired ingredients
  • A raw material that needs to increase the softness of the product texture and thereby sensorial shelf life.
  • 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.

Our team can formulate a protein-enhanced blend using organic pea protein, oat powder, brown rice protein, chia seeds with natural flavours, and natural sweeteners. The product can be formulated into different flavours, such as Vanilla. The formulation will ensure that it meets 20grams of plant protein with less sugar (<2g) with reduced carbs & fat. The formulations can be used for meal replacement, muscle recovery, pre or post-workouts, and smoothie boosters.

Our team can formulate meal replacement using pea protein, brown rice protein, and chia seeds as base ingredients, along with natural sweeteners. Our formulation scientist can develop the product in different flavours as per the client's requirement, including chocolate coconut, cream chocolate, peppermint hot cocoa, and chocolate berry

Superfoods are packed with vitamins and minerals that can help you keep healthy, energized and feeling good. Our team can formulate meal replacement using kale, flax, chia, quinoa, beet, turmeric, and more, plus prebiotic + fibre, as a base ingredient. Our formulation scientists can develop products based on vegan protein, whey protein, superfoods, greens, and oats that would support immune, bone and mood.

  • Our team can develop superfoods in a variety of forms such as ready-to-mix, ready-to-eat, ready-to-serve, and ready-to-drink.
  • Our R&D team formulated superfood products by balancing sensory characteristics, flavour, better solubility, and texture.
  • The composition of raw material used for superfood preparation directly affects the textural, chemical and physical properties.
  • Our formulation scientists also develop superfoods products in the form of ready-to-mix, ready-to-serve and ready-to-drink, keeping this in mind, using traditional ingredients.
  • We develop products with a wide variety of superfoods, including Brazil nuts, hempseeds, garden cress, maca, amla, camel milk, jackfruit, goji berry, red beans, cocoa, sweet potatoes, mastic, Mediterranean raisins, currants, moringa, turmeric, chia, quinoa, blueberries, strawberries, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, kefir, royal jelly, hippophaes, donkey’s milk Kale, bok choy, garlic, sunflower seeds, chillies, ginger, bee pollen, spirulina, chlorella, wheat grass, tea (Camellia Sinensis), maca plant and many more
