Wellness Foods + Supplements 1/2022

Vitafoods Europe – Preview
The third innovation Taiyo is presenting is the Sunfiber ® Water
Concept. With this novelty, Taiyo addresses different target groups,
including the ageing population. This generation often does not
consume enough water or vital nutrients. This unique concept,
however, allows for the production of isotonic drinks that contain less
sugar and additional dietary fibre, allowing for much higher bioavailability
of minerals. It is also possible to customize such beverages by
adding more active ingredients such as Q10 or curcumin, depending
on the target group. For example, children or athletes could benefit
from the Sunfiber ® Water Concept, as these groups are dependent
on a targeted nutrient intake.
Other highlights at the Taiyo stand include the various Sunfiber ®
Blends with different added health benefits, as well as Moringa,
a standardised leaf powder with 1 % glucomoringin that has antiinflammatory
properties, and new concepts surrounding the peabased
meat alternative Vegemeat for various consumer groups.Dr
Stefan Siebrecht, Managing Director at Taiyo’s German subsidiary,
says: “The Corona crisis has had a major impact on consumers
interest in healthy eating. More and more people are questioning the
ingredients in a product, and increasingly want natural and plantbased
alternatives. Taiyo presents solutions and products with which
the industry can meet these demands.”

Rousselot ® set to inspire at Vitafoods 2022 with
new consumer study into its unique collagen matrix
for joint care
Rousselot ® , Darling Ingredients’ health brand and the global leader
of collagen-based solutions 1 , invites visitors to booth I114 at Vitafoods
2022 to discover its latest collagen and gelatin ingredient innovations.
At this year’s event, Rousselot’s exhibition will reintroduce its all-inone
collagen matrix designed to provide joint care solutions for a wide
range of consumer demographics. In addition, the company will spotlight
the benefits of porcine collagen ingredients and its SiMoGel
gelatin solution for innovative nutraceutical gummies.
Visitors to Rousselot’s booth can also make use of the Live Chat
Corner, allowing them to connect and discuss with formulation
experts and also explore tailored technical solutions for their specific
formulation challenges.
Presenting a new perspective on senior joint care
In less than 30 years, the number of people aged 60 years and over is
expected to double, reaching a total of 2.1 billion 2 . In parallel to these
demographic changes, the market value of dietary supplements
aimed at supporting mobility is forecast to grow by 4.7 % CAGR by
2026 3 . The stage is set for a new generation of nutritional solutions,
formulated to support bone and joint health and help an aging global
population keep fit into later life. On Tuesday 10 May at 2:30pm at
the Life Stages Theatre, Dr. Sara De Pelsmaeker, Global Business
Development Health & Nutrition at Rousselot will unveil the findings
of a wide-ranging new study to help brands address these shifting
consumer trends. Through her speech, entitled ‘Joint care innovation
with an all-in-one collagen matrix, fueled by new consumer-based
science’, attendees will discover the impact of Rousselot’s collagen
matrix on the real-world joint care of more than two-hundred people,
all varying in age, gender, and activity level.
Broadening access to science-backed collagen solutions
The company’s flagship collagen brand, Peptan ® is a fully bioavailable
collagen peptide ingredient which delivers a world of science-backed
health benefits, from joint support and bone health, to enhanced skin
and hair beauty. At this year’s Vitafoods event, Rousselot will highlight
the specific advantages of Peptan P, an accessible premium-quality
collagen solution of porcine origin that offers a fast route to market.
Event attendees can experience the functional and sensory properties
of Peptan P on-stand, through specialized samples, including
an oat-based breakfast solution tailored for the nutritional needs of
seniors.
Innovative gelatin solutions for center-filled functional gummies
With an attractive appearance, taste and texture that makes them
easy to swallow, the appeal of nutritional gummies is easy to understand.
Manufacturing this type of delivery format however, can be
a difficult task, as traditional starch molding techniques present a
risk of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) cross-contamination.
Rousselot’s innovative SiMoGel gelatin solution means manufacturers
can produce functional, liquid-center filled gummies using an
inherently hygienic, starch-free molding technique. These innovative
‘gummy caps’ allow for higher and more accurate API dosing, with
virtually no risk of interaction with the gelatin excipient. SiMoGel’s
unique potential can be discovered in person at Rousselot’s booth,
where visitors can sample liquid-center gummies with Ibuprofen,
along with other inspiring application prototypes for the all-in-one
collagen matrix.
