Kentucky-based Wild Flavors is expanding its functional ingredients, adding four innovative new ingredients to its HITS portfolio - otherwise known as Health Ingredient Technology and Solutions.

As well as its original co-enzyme Q10 offering, Wild now has two versions designed to help formulators overcome some of the problems they may face when working with the popular ingredient.

One comes in a water-soluble emulsion, which the company says is "very clean tasting".

The other, a dry, water dispersible form, means allows the ingredient to be used in dry applications, such as powdered drinks.

The company has also developed phytosterol emulsions, with cholesterol-lowering properties, to provide for easier handling and use in beverages.

Finally, Wild is now offering the polyphenol compound chlorogenic acid, which has a number of applications as an anti-oxidant.

The existing products in the HITS portfolio include lutein, lycopene,grape seed extract, green tea polyphenols.

As well as developing products to overcome taste, stability, and bioavailability issues, Wild also offers technical, labeling and nutritional advice services and can cooperate with clients on health claims and tailor-nade ingredients.
