ADM Launches Two New Natural Source Vitamin E Products
02 Dec 2015 --- Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), one of the world’s largest agricultural processors and food ingredient providers, has strengthened its offering with two new natural source vitamin E products, Novatol Sunflower 5-67 Vitamin E and Novatol Sunflower Vitamin E Succinate.
D-alpha tocopherol is the only form of alpha tocopherol found in nature, and it is also better retained by the body than synthetic vitamin E. With a low viscosity and high d-alpha tocopherol concentration, Novatol Sunflower 5-67 Vitamin E is ideal for soft gel capsules as well as food and beverage fortification purposes. However, when exposed to air or intense processing temperatures, the esters of d-alpha tocopherol have reduced susceptibility to degradation allowing for increased flexibility in product formulations. These benefits have given rise to the creation of d-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate, the world’s first commercially available sunflower-based succinate form of vitamin E. This high-concentration powder is neutral in taste and is ideal for tableting applications such as multivitamins and chewable tablets. Both of the latest Novatol products are non-GMO, they do not contain soy, and are Kosher and Halal certified.
“Our Novatol natural source vitamin E products provide manufacturers with a safe and reliable source of supply and are also available in a wide range of manufacturer-friendly formats for capsule, tablet and compounding applications,” said Mike Zora, general manager for ADM’s WILD Flavors & Specialty Ingredients business unit. “With our naturally sourced vitamin E solutions, we can help manufacturers address many consumer health concerns such as the protection of cells from oxidative stress and the increase of antioxidant activity.”
