Neptune and Terepia fortify with marine-based products
Dated: 20 March 2006
When you think of confectionery, you might not think of krill oil and fruit, but Terepia International and Neptune Technologies & Bioressources are hoping to change that. The companies have entered the functional food industry with three new formulations: krill oil combined with pomegranate, passion-fruit or mango extracts. There are reportedly no added preservatives, sugar or artificial flavors.
“We are very pleased that our efforts bring foreword the full expression of these pure fruit without any sense of seafood flavor. Our entry in to the functional food market with these extremely tasteful and children-friendly custards, allows us to introduce healthy food for specialties such as yogurts, baby formulas, cereals, power-bars, etc.,” says Dr Tina Sampalis, MD, PhD, vice president of R&D and Business Development. “Children and adults will be able to benefit from a therapeutic dose of a health ingredient, NKO, which is clinically proven to enhance cognitive function and reduce inflammation.”
These three products will be launched at the Natural Products Expo West Show in Anaheim, CA USA, on March 24-26, 2006.
