DuPont Nutrition & Health to Tap into Key Consumer Health Trends

22 Aug 2014 --- At SupplySide West this year, the DuPont booth (#26117) will showcase an array of ingredient solutions addressing key areas in focus for today’s health and wellness minded consumers. Visitors will be invited to sample an array of formats – dietary supplements, bars and beverages – that deliver a compelling combination of health benefits, appealing flavors and convenience in these three main areas:

•    Immune – DuPont has developed science-based solutions for immune health. Our HOWARU Protect range addresses the needs of identified consumer groups, helping to maintain their natural immune defenses and support general well-being. The range includes HOWARU Protect Adult, HOWARU Protect Kids and HOWARU Protect Sport.
•    Digestive Health – Focusing on digestive health, we will present several HOWARU Premium Probiotic solutions to maintain a healthy digestive system, keep intestinal microflora well-balanced and reduce discomfort associated with the occasional digestive upset.
•    Weight Management – Our DuPont Danisco portfolio is comprised of ingredients that enable healthier nutritional profiles without compromising taste and texture. For example, four human clinical studies using Litesse polydextrose demonstrate enhanced satiety and reduce energy intake. Another Danisco ingredient that supports weight management is SUPRO soy protein. Soy protein can be an ideal protein source for those seeking products to lower, maintain or gain weight. As part of a calorie-controlled diet, it can preserve lean body mass and promote fat loss while inducing satiety. Danisco ingredients also feature polyols and sweeteners that help lower glycemic load and sugar content of food products and assist in weight control.  

The combined resources within DuPont Nutrition & Health help manufacturers create products with a healthier profile and that actively promote good health to address consumer needs in digestive, immune, heart and muscle health, and weight management. The company’s capabilities are applied with a focus on the specific needs of key industry segments, including bakery, beverages, bars and snacks, dairy, meat, ready meals, pediatric nutrition and dietary supplements.

DuPont Danisco is the brand for a range of ingredients that help provide enhanced bioprotection, an improved nutritional profile, and better taste and texture with greater cost efficiency and lower environmental impact, meeting the needs of manufacturers of food and beverages, dietary supplements and pet food. Through the work of the global network of food scientists and technologists in DuPont, the Danisco range is supported by a uniquely broad spectrum of know-how across applications and processing.
