Frutarom SoyLife is now organic

Frutarom Health, a division of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., is releasing a new range of Organic SoyLife Complex soy isoflavones. The ingredient has been granted BE-BIO-01 organic certification by Certisys.

SoyLife Complex is a soy ingredient sourced from a selected soy variety that is naturally rich in isoflavones. It is produced simply from the soy germ that sits at the heart of the soy bean, further enhancing the isoflavone concentration. SoyLife Complex is standardized in isoflavones purely through natural selection and is particularly high in concentrations of daidzein, one of the most active constituents in soy recognized for its powerful antioxidant and phytoestrogenic properties.

SoyLife Complex presents an example of sustainability, since the soy germs are not utilized in the soy-milk production process thus allowing their use as a value-added product whilst decreasing food waste. SoyLife Complex is produced using carefully selected, non-GMO, organically grown soybeans grown for traditional food production.

“With the introduction of the organic label, we believe we have an ingredient that fulfils many current demands of consumers who are putting increasing value on trust and transparency when making their purchasing decisions,” says Laetitia Petrussa, PhD, Product Manager for Frutarom Health.

“Organically sourced ingredients are recognized for those values and are increasingly seen as a healthy and ethical choice, both in terms of nutrition and environmental impact,” notes Petrussa. “This stamp of assurance will become even more paramount as our understanding of organic demands and needs deepens.”

SoyLife Complex is part of Frutarom’s SoyLife ingredients range, a naturally abundant source of valuable micronutrients and high in fiber. Scientific studies demonstrate that these micronutrients, in combination with the high amounts of isoflavones, work synergistically to promote multiple health benefits, such as bone strength and cardiovascular health. SoyLife ingredients also have demonstrated their ability to be a primary resource for alleviating menopausal symptoms. SoyLife is also effective for gut health and skin care. In fact, more than 35 proprietary scientific studies have confirmed the safety and efficacy of SoyLife ingredients.

“SoyLife ingredients have been the leader isoflavone products for more than 15 years, and have also been a major contributor to the scientific understanding of the tremendous health benefits of soy isoflavones,” explains Petrussa.

SoyLife Complex is selected, purified, and heat-treated to ensure stability of the active ingredients, and then milled into different granulations to fit into various applications, from traditional supplement capsules and tablets to functional food and beverage options. SoyLife is also vegan, kosher and halal and is suitable for all clean label formulations.

Frutarom will be in Vitafoods Asia on booth #J19. This event takes place from 25-26 September in Singapore.
