Vitafoods Europe

Stand G142

Producer of palm mixed tocotrienol complexes and palm mixed carotenoids complexes, ExcelVite will showcase a range of newly developed palm carotenoid ingredients and share the latest research on tocotrienols.

Following increased awareness of the potential negative health effects linked to consumption of artificial food additives, consumers are demanding for natural ingredients in their food and drinks, including food supplements. This has driven food and drink manufacturers to switch to natural food-based color ingredients for both new product formulation and reformulation.

ExcelVite produces natural mixed carotenoids complex from sustainably-sourced Malaysian red palm oil (non-GMO). The product EVTene oil concentrate contains mainly alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and other carotenoids such as gamma-carotene and lycopene. EVTene has the highest level of alpha-carotene compared to other commercial beta-carotene sources in the market. EVTene is available in different forms such as water dispersible powder (EVTeneSol), emulsion (EVTeneSem) and beadlets (Alphabeads) to cater for different applications.

EVTene is also recommended for use as natural yellow to orange food colorant. Hence, it is a natural colorant to replace artificial colors in the range of yellow-orange, particularly Tartrazine (E102) and Sunset Yellow (E110).

This year at Vitafoods, ExcelVite will showcase these carotenoids products as well as its flagship tocotrienol ingredients—EVNol, natural full spectrum palm tocotrienol complex and EVNol SupraBio, patented and bioenhanced natural full spectrum palm tocotrienol complex.

“We will share latest research updates on our EVNol SupraBio with potential customers and any visitors to our booth at Vitafoods,” said WH Leong, CEO, ExcelVite Inc.

Both palm carotenes and tocotrienols have been shown in research to contribute significant health benefits such as eye and heart heath with the mixed carotenoids; brain, heart, liver and skin health with EVNol SupraBio, patented and bioenhanced palm tocotrienol complex.

ExcelVite’s EVTene and EVNol ingredients are produced according to GMP standards, Non-GMO Project Verified, GRAS with no objection letter by the FDA, as well as certified Kosher and Halal.

“Both EVNol and EVTene are extracted and concentrated from sustainable and non-GMO Malaysian palm oil. They are natural alternatives to replace other artificial additives, and have been progressively gaining wide acceptance in the market. As the leading mixed carotene and tocotrienol producer, ExcelVite is taking this demand seriously and doing its part in meeting formulators’ and manufacturers’ request to develop new product using natural non-GM and sustainably sourced ingredients. I look forward to discussing what we can do together to address this rising trend,” said Bryan See, Regional Product Manager, ExcelVite Inc., USA.
