Solvay, booth LL128, Supply Side West, October 4-8, 2016, Las Vegas
Princeton, NJ. - (September 6,2016) - Leading nutritional solutions provider Solvay will showcase its ‘natural’ and ‘functional’ range of vanilla ingredients at this year’s Supply Side West (SSW) show in Las Vegas, allowing manufacturers to capitalize on growing consumer desire for ‘clean’ labeling, health and wellness without compromising taste.
With growing interest in a more natural, organic or additive-free diet, consumers are increasingly aware of the ingredients that flavor their favorite dietary supplements, foods and beverages.
Solvay’s natural ‘Vanifolia™’ range is a functional vanilla ingredient and a newly designed solution. It allows manufacturers to make the ‘natural’ label claim and serves as a replacement for vanilla bean or for addressing the need for more natural ingredients in food at a fraction of cost. Vanifolia™ is derived mainly from GMO-free rice bran using a patented bio-fermentation process and complies with U.S. and European regulations, including EU directive 1334/2008 and FDA21CFR 101.22 on ‘natural’ labeling. It provides key properties for both processing and organoleptic requirements for a number of applications including performance/sports nutrition, vitamins and nutraceuticals, and functional foods and beverages.
According to Edouard Janssen, vice president of Solvay’s Aroma Performance business unit in the Americas, “Eight out of 10 consumers want food and beverage products that have a ‘natural’ label claim on them. Only three out of 10 consumers can actually afford these products. Quite candidly, ‘natural’, ‘clean label’ products for the most part have been limited to a niche---for the most part an elite group of consumers”.Janssen added “We want to change that by providing value to manufacturers and ultimately consumers so that they can recalibrate their lifestyle with products that address their health needs without compromising taste and affordability”.
Aparna Parikh, head of marketing for Solvay’s Aroma Performance business unit in North and Latin Americas, added, “As consumer interest in health and nutrition continues to grow, the complexities for manufacturers in the dietary supplement, food and beverage industry are enormous. With our strong applications expertise and expanded portfolio, we’re excited about the new opportunities we can offer to our customers. Our products serve as flavoring agents, flavor enhancers and taste maskers – all very important for the dietary supplement, food and beverage industry”.
