Frutarom’s NutraT Used in New Line of Functional Coffees

27 Apr 2017 --- A new line of functional coffees containing Frutarom’s NutraT - a novel, instant drink powder, “boosted with the benefits of the Mediterranean diet,” are set to be launched by Mongibello.

The nutraceutical coffees are designed for use in ETNA coffee machines.

The launch comes at a time when on-premise coffee and tea remains a growing segment within the foodservice industry, and despite the fierce competition from retail products, coffee houses stay one-step ahead by offering consumers innovative beverages.

Four coffees make up the launch from Mongibello, including “Detox”, a coffee containing CynaxT artichoke extract; “Cardio”, with OliveT olive extract; “Relax” with RosT, a lemon balm extract; and “Mental”, with Ginseng EFLA913, a unique ginseng extract produced using Frutarom’s HyperPure proprietary technology to ensure 100% pure and safe ingredients.

It’s these highly soluble nutraceutical ingredients that can be directly dispensed by the ETNA coffee machines into the hot beverage, creating delicious, yet functional, coffees.

The products were developed by Nutrafur S.A., Spain, now a member of the Frutarom family.

Thanks to its high solubility, the finished beverage stays clear, without turbidity, and delivers a fresh, great taste.

“We are excited about these functional coffees from Mongibello,” says Yannick Capelle, Product Manager for Frutarom Health.

“With NutraT, drink manufacturers can fortify their products with exceptional natural extracts from Mediterranean origin that typically are not water-soluble”

“This demonstrates that the possibilities for natural and soluble functional ingredients can go beyond the standard cold beverages.”

“The NutraT line helps developers of new functional drinks combine fresh flavors with extracts delivering the essence of the Mediterranean diet.”

All NutraT ingredients are formulated without preservatives or synthetic colors, enabling clean-label claims. They also are certified kosher and halal.

“Frutarom specializes in using the latest science to tackle technological problems and provide innovative, highly soluble and tasty solutions using ingredients derived from nature,” adds Capelle.
