Cyvex Nutrition Launches Alfapro Upgrade

Though it retains the same nutritional profile as Cyvex's existing Alfapro line, Alfapro Agglomerated benefits from a particle-binding and solidifying process that improves powder consistency, reduces bulk density and eliminates premixing.

Sep 15 2010 --- Functional beverage manufacturers seeking nutrient-dense, green protein ingredients can now look to Cyvex Nutrition's Alfapro Agglomerated, an optimized, highly dispersible grade of its branded Alfapro protein concentrate.

Though it retains the same nutritional profile as Cyvex's existing Alfapro line, Alfapro Agglomerated benefits from a particle-binding and solidifying process that improves powder consistency, reduces bulk density and eliminates premixing. As a result, beverage manufacturers are guaranteed an ingredient that can be combined with other components to create a homogenous mix, deliver superior dispersibility and ensure a lump-resistant finished product.

"As market demand increases for both nutritious alternative protein sources and functional beverages, Alfapro Agglomerated provides a tailored ingredient for convenient use in protein powder beverages, satchets and individual stick packs," noted Matt Phillips, president, Cyvex Nutrition.

Cyvex Nutrition's Alfapro juice protein concentrate is extracted from young alfalfa plants harvested at their peak to ensure optimal nutrient content that includes: 50% protein, all the essential amino acids, 13 minerals (including calcium, potassium and magnesium), 8 vitamins, chlorophyll, xanthophylls lutein and zeaxanthin, and plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. Alfapro is GMO-, pesticide- and solvent-free and extracted using a cold press process to prevent nutrient loss.
