Divi’s Nutraceuticals is a global manufacturer and supplier of over 80 forms of carotenoids and vitamins. The company was founded in 2006 as a division of Divi’s Laboratories, a leading global supplier of active pharmaceuticals (APIs) and intermediates. Thanks to its exclusive cutting-edge development and production, Divi’s Nutraceuticals supplies supplement, food, beverage, pet food and feed customers with state-of-the-art product forms throughout the world. Innovation is at the heart of our projects, and Divi’s is regularly offering new solutions to best meet the requirements of a constantly changing market.
Divi’s will present its latest innovations at FI South America 2023, such as a new “free-from” ingredient range called Novel Application, developed to answer increasing consumer demand for products containing less additives. As an expert in chemical synthesis and ingredient formulation, Divi’s has the technical capabilities to produce silicon dioxide-free spray-dried products with the same performance and characteristics as conventional spray-dried products, resulting in nanoparticle-free ingredients. Moreover, these products contain no synthetic antioxidant, no palm oil and no added sugar, while maintaining excellent stability and texture. Divi’s Novel Application carotenoids and vitamins can be used either in supplements or to fortify or color a variety of liquids and dry foods and beverages.
Divi’s Nutraceuticals will present another innovation, AstaBead. Divi’s and Algalif have joined their expertise to develop highly concentrated beadlets of sustainable natural astaxanthin. Algalif’s production process, located in Iceland, uses renewable energy, and provides premium astaxanthin oleoresin naturally sourced from microalgae. Divi’s transforms this oleoresin into exclusive, easy-to-handle AstaBead beadlets that contain 5% astaxanthin – the highest concentration on the market – allowing smaller tablets and hard-shell capsules. AstaBead beadlets also show excellent performance in applications such as nutritional bars. The AstaBead range includes a fast-dispersing form of astaxanthin benefiting from Divi’s innovative CaroQuik formulation. It is suitable for the fortification of powdered beverages, whether packaged in canisters or in today’s popular disperser sticks and caps.
