Expert carotenoid formulations for every application
At Natural Products Expo West 2024, Divi’s will present a range of plant-based and natural ingredients for foods, beverages and supplements. Using their formulation expertise, Divi’s offers carotenoid solutions to meet the requirements of every application, from supplements to beverages, gummies, cereal products and ice creams, among others. Part of one of the largest inventories of high-quality beta-carotene forms on the market, Divi’s natural beta-carotene is produced by fermentation of Blakeslea trispora and can be used both for fortification and coloration of many food and beverage products, as well as in dietary supplements.
Naturally sourced coloration for clean labels
Divi’s will also be showcasing CaroNat, a naturally sourced food ingredient intended for the dark yellow to orange coloration of a variety of foods and beverages. CaroNat is made from concentrated carrot juice and inherently contains beta-carotene. Consisting only of ingredients of natural origin and manufactured without the addition of silicon dioxide, CaroNat supports brands in their transition to clean labels. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the health effects of artificial colorants. They are seeking more natural options, boosting the demand for additive-free foods and beverages. At the same time, aspect and color still play a key role in food selection and purchasing decision. Made only from natural ingredients and delivering the desirable appearance of the final product, CaroNat allows claims such as: “No artificial color/ingredient”, “Vegetarian” or “Vegan”, helping food marketers to respond to this growing trend.
AstaBead: natural antioxidant power
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 and fortified powder drinks.
