Pomegranate extracts have gained a lot of good publicity recently, both as a great source of antioxidants and for other potential benefits such as heart and cancer protection. These benefits are attributed to hydrolysable tannins called Ellagitannins. Those tannins are transformed by the body in Ellagic acid, which is a key to their bioavailability and overall activity. Unlike many other extracts*, Elacyan® 10, produced in France by Tournay Biotechnologies and available exclusively in the US from AIC, does not contain any added Ellagic acid from other cheaper sources but is standardized to the highest Ellagitannins concentration available. Containing the entire spectrum of Pomegranate active phytochemicals, Tournay Biotechnology ensures that Elacyan® 10 exhibits efficiency comparable to what is shown in remarkable scientific studies conducted on Pomegranate.

With more than 25% of adults, and more than 17% of children aged 6-19 being obese in the US (and not just overweight), launching healthy products is now more than ever a call of duty for the food industry. As evidenced by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention*, obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
Following numerous positive studies, fibers have gained recent acknowledgement by specialists on their ability to limit food intake and protect from cardiovascular diseases. Most fibers however are not soluble enough, let alone invisible, for use in liquid products such as drinks, smoothies, dairies, dressings… Fibraclear® is a 100% soluble fiber that has no viscosity up to 10% concentration, that gives no off taste, smell or color to your formulation while bringing more than 85% of fibers! Fibraclear® is also stable in a wide range of temperature and pH. This ingredient presents a unique opportunity for beverage and dairy makers to improve their formulation, decrease the glycemic index of their products and help reduce obesity and related diseases prevalence.
Fibraclear®, manufactured by Tournay Biotechnologies, available exclusively through AIC in North America and clearly…a better solution.

Vitatene is a company located in Leon (Spain) belonging to P&R Group. Antibioticos’ 100 years knowledge in fermentation process led in 2003 to the start up of a new dedicated plant to produce carotenoids in an innovative way. Thanks to this strong know-how, Vitatene succeeded in building up a unique technology which enables it to obtain 100% natural carotenoids, formulated in 100% vegetable matrix. Carotenoids are fundamental elements in human and animal health. The essential role of Beta-Carotene and others as the main dietary source of Vitamin A has been known for many years. Carotenoids play an important potential role in human health by acting as biological antioxidants, protecting cells and tissues from damaging effects of free radicals and singlet oxygen. Vitatene’s BETANAT®(Beta-Carotene) and LYCONAT®(Lycopene) derive from a natural fermentative process which involves a fungus, Blakeslea trispora. Vitatene’s LUTENAT®(Lutein) is derived from Marigolds (Tagetes erecta) involving a natural extraction from process. With the increase in the demand for natural products from consumers, Vitatene offers all manufacturers a powerful tool to differentiate their products from those of their competitors. BETANAT®, LYCONAT® and LUTENAT® manfactured by Vitatene, and available exclusively in the US through AIC. The natural answer for superior carotenoids.
