new ingredient profiles New INgredIeNt revIew dairy on the Brain By Joe Regenstein, Ph.D. Lipogen Ltd. launches the latest delivery system for its Lipogen PS phosphatidylserine functional ingredient (affirmed gras). ps is essential for brain development and normal nerve function. it is a natural phospholipid found in the membrane of the cells in the brain. it is considered an important building block of brain cell membranes and has been shown to have a role in slowing or even reversing some forms of age-related cognitive deteriorations, such as short-term memory, and help improve the capacity to learn new tasks. this new ps system is designed for fortification of dairy milks and yogurt drinks. lipogen also offers advanced lipogen ps milk powder, a phosphatidylserine formulation that can easily be applied in dairy premixes, blending or other milk processing, and does not affect end-product taste, texture or mouthfeel. lipogen developed its ps line of milk applications to utilize standard dairy production equipment and procedures. given the recent positive press for dairy beverages after work-outs and similar physical activity, adding critically needed nutraceuticals seems like a logical way to go. absorption studies of ps are still ongoing, but processors should bear in mind how these compounds might interact with the other components in various formulations, thus affecting stability and shelf-life. Lipogen Ltd.; Haifa, Israel; 011-972-544-522-355; www.lipogen.co.il –Joe Regenstein, PhD, is a meat and dairy expert and professor of food science at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. the Sugar in Your Coffee futureceuticals releases GlycoBerry 8 N417, a new product designed to provide standardized levels of eight monosaccharides: fucose, xylose, galactose, glucose, n-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid), n-acetylgalactosamine and n-acetylglucosamine. glycoBerry 8 is comprised of futureceuticals’ CoffeeBerry, which contains high levels of monosaccharides, in combination with other functional ingredients. these monosaccharides have been studied for their ability to contribute to supporting a healthy immune system response, promoting cellular communication, supporting healthy glucose metabolism, promoting healthy inflammation response and supporting healthy joints. these sugars combine in the body with protein and fat to form glyconutrients, which are crucial for cellular communication, including that of immune cells. glyconutrients cannot form in the absence of these eight monosaccharides.
