HERBAL

A product made from a plant that is thought to be useful in treating disease or staying healthy. Herbal supplements form are mainly taken by oral route. Herbal health products are organic supplements taken in addition to your diet for improving digestion, immunity, cardiovascular health etc. These products are preventive in nature and help circumvent a disease rather than focusing on the curative aspect of the situation

• Spirulina & Phycocyanin

Spirulina", also known as "Superfood of the world”. Vitamins are crucial for the body's production of energy. While amino acids and proteins are required for proper mineral absorption into the body, minerals must be present for vitamins to function. To put it another way, those nutrients aid and collaborate with one another to help your body convert food into blood, muscle, and energy. Because of how many essential nutrients are concentrated in spirulina, which contains at least 60 grams of complete vegetable protein, essential vitamins, and phytonutrients like the uncommon essential fatty acid GLA sulpho-lipids, glycolipids, and polysaccharides, it has been shown to be a potentially effective natural food supplement.

Spirulina is rich in the following contents

• 3900% more iron than spinach
• 2800% more beta carotene in carrots
• 600% more protein than tofu
• In fact, 60% of spirulina is a protein
• 200% more antioxidants than blueberries

ENZYMES

Enzymes are proteins with the ability to catalyze specific or non-specific chemical reactions. Enzymes are particularly useful due to their catalytic activity. The substrate molecule goes into the enzyme for manipulations. Enzymes are used in the food, agricultural, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries to control and speed up reactions in order to quickly and accurately obtain a valuable final product.

The enzymes can be harvested from microbial sources or can be made synthetically. Enzymes are also transforming the non-food industrial sectors to improve processes and decrease energy usage. Enzymes are an increasingly important component of green energy technologies.

• Glucose oxidase (Food and feed applications)

Primarily used in bakery industry as dough improver and prevent high levels of hydrogen peroxide in bread. Other benefits include enhancement of flavour, aroma, and stability of food products by removing glucose and oxygen from drinks and egg white. Thus, as an additive for preservations of various foods.

• Phytase (Feed applications)

Microbial phytase is commonly used in animal feeds. It increases the digestibility of phytase phosphorus, which improves the overall availability of dietary phosphorus, calcium, amino acids, and energy and reduces the requirement for supplemental inorganic phosphorus in animal feeds.

• Glucoamylase

It belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family and breaks down bonds between two glucoses contained in polymers like starch. It is extensively used in the food industry to produce high glucose syrup and in the fermentation process for the production of beers and ethanol.

• Food Grade Alpha-Amylase

Alpha-Amylases have potential application in industrial processes as food (also fermented foods), fermentation textile, paper detergent and pharmaceutical industries. Bacterial and fungal origin Alpha-amylases are commonly used in Food, pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. They are heavily used for starch liquefaction, production of maltose, Oligosaccharide mixtures and high fructose syrups. In recent lights of biopharmaceutical advancements, they are as well taken benefits from.

• Food Grade Beta-glucosidase

Beta-glucosidases is a key factor in cellulase and completes the final step during cellulose hydrolysis by converting the cellobiose to glucose. Beta-glucosidases are widely used in a decent number of biotechnological processes, including the production of biofuel and ethanol from cellulosic agricultural wastes and the synthesis if useful B glucosides.

• Neutral protease

Neutral proteases represent class of enzymes that carries out catalysis in a neutral, weakly acidic, or weakly alkaline environment with optimal pH between 6.0 – 7.5. The advantageous properties of neutral proteases are that they generate less bitterness in the hydrolysis of food proteins due to their medium rate of reaction. Thus, makes them more valuable to the food industry. Other aspects involve their use in creams to dissolve dandruff, make skin soft, promote skin metabolism, increase skin absorption of drugs and reduce the resistance of pathogenic bacteria in the outermost skin layer.

• Alkaline protease

A key ingredient in detergent industry, which is the largest application of this enzyme. Alkaline proteases especially Serine proteases due to their high alkaline pH range of 9.0 - 11.0. They also have significant applications in leather industries, medical diagnostics, recovery of silver from X-rays, food and feed industry etc.

NUTRACEUTICALS

Nutraceuticals is basically a category that is food or part of food that plays a significant role in modifying and maintaining normal physiological function that maintains healthy human beings. The food products used as nutraceuticals can be categorized as dietary fibre, prebiotics, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and other different types of herbal/ natural foods. The new trends in lifestyle adopted by people have changed the basic food habits, e.g., Consumption of junk food has increased manifold, leading to a number of diseases caused due to improper nutrition, whose treatments can cost a leg to patients. Thus, making nutraceuticals emerge as potential effective means to combat such treatments.

The nutraceuticals products which are available for queries are as listed below:

• Dietary Fiber
  • Celluloses
  • Hemicelluloses
  • Pectins
  • Gums
• Probiotics
  • Bifidobacteria (B.bifidum)
• Polyunsaturated fatty acids
  • Omega-3- (n-3) fatty acids
  • Omega-6-(n-6) fatty acids
• Antioxidant vitamins
  • vitamin C
  • vitamin E
