REBATEN – natural high intense sweetening With a forthcoming European approval of stevia, Seppic is ready with an interesting range of this natural high intense sweetener, which is well suited for e.g. food supplements, drinks and pharmaceuticals By Thierry Liot, Stevia Development Manager, Seppic In September 2009, the French government approved stevia extracts with 97 % purity Rebaudioside A (Reb A) as food and beverage sweeteners by inter-ministerial decree, taking advantage of a two year window that allows approval ahead of the rest of the EU. This has given the French company Seppic a great opportunity to achieve useful experience with the use of this natural high intense sweetener. Legal status in EU Stevia is not approved in EU yet, but just a few months ago the expert panel of the EFSA (European Food Safety Association) expressed a positive recommendation on the use of steviol glycosides in foods and beverages, emphasizing quality standards as expressed by JECFA (Joint FAO/ WHO Experts Committee on Food Additives). This document is paving the way to a European approval, expected by end 2010 or early 2011. The REBATEN range Based on the recommendations expressed in this document, it is SEPPIC’s intention to propose 4 JECFA-compliant grades for industrial appli-
cations (food, beverages and pharmaceuticals) and one specific grade for a ready-to-use powder table top sweetener – see table below. With these 5 grades, Seppic covers the entire panel of applications that European producers are looking for (taste profile, corresponding to application, manufacturing constraints, cost/ sweetness ratio, …). REBATEN 97% in food supplements and drinks Due to its great stability and solubility, REBATEN 97%, Stevia extract, can easily be used in low-calorie or no sugar added food supplements. The maximum usage dosage (expressed in Rebaudioside A) authorised by French regulation is as follows: • Liquid food supplements - 600 mg/kg • Solid food supplements - 2000 mg/kg • Vitamin- and/or mineral-based food supplements in syrup or chewable form - 5500 mg/kg
vitamin-enriched drinks, etc. This also makes it ideal for formulating low calorie or no added sugar drinks. REBATEN 97% advantages • Improved flavour • No sugar, fewer calories! Reduced calorie content • Low glycaemic index • 100% natural origin (Stevia plant extract) • Ideal for formulating sugar-free food supplements Industrial benefits • Intense sweetness • High stability in terms of pH, light and heat • Water soluble • Non fermentable • Good digestibility continues on page 3 >>
Likewise because of its great stability and solubility, REBATEN 97% Stevia extract can be used as a natural sweetener in a wide range of drinks like slimming drinks, energy drinks, Reb. A (%) min.

Arolia – exclusive concentrated Acai extract One gram of Arolia, which is equivalent to 2,700 ORAC units, covers 65% of the recommended daily antioxidant intake. Arolia can therefore easily complete the other antioxidant sources to reach the recommended level By Seppic
Arolia is a natural exclusive extract of acai berries containing 2% proanthocyanidins. The extraction process, developed by BIOPHYTIS, is specifically designed to preserve and concentrate the most interesting components of the acai berry. Arolia’s antioxidant capacity is triggered and its content in lipids is reduced in comparison with acai berry and freezedried acai pulp. Traceability and sustainability is totally implemented from the plant to the extract. Plants are strictly selected and the acai is harvested and produced in Brazil. BIOPHYTIS extraction plant is located in Atibaïa, Brazil. Being an alimentary extract of the edible part of a food plant, Arolia has been approved as a food ingredient by French regulatory authorities, and can therefore be used for dietary supplements and functional foods.
>> Quality Commitment To ensure the confidence and satisfaction of its customers in accordance with regulatory requirements, SEPPIC has a sustainable progress policy focused on the control of risks and a Quality Hygiene Safety and Environmental management system. As a partner of the pharmaceutical, nutrition, and cosmetics industry, SEPPIC integrates and implements all relevant reference systems in its management system. Article 353
Health benefits of Arolia Anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins are Arolia’s active principles. They belong to a specific group of polyphenols called flavonoids and have a high antioxidant activity. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) assay is the most commonly used method to evaluate the antioxidant activity of a product. This assay was performed to compare the antioxidant capacities of Arolia, its raw material (acai pulp) and several fruit pulps whose ORAC values are indicated in the Antioxidant U.S. Department of Agriculture database published in 2007.
Characteristics • Proanthocyanidins: 2% • ORAC: 2,700 µmol TE/g • Red-purple fine powder • Water soluble • Taste/odour is characteristic of the fruit • Heat stable up to 80°C for a few seconds • Labelling: acai extract, cassava flor
Acai pulp has the highest ORAC value among other black/purple pigmented fruits. Moreover, Arolia antioxidant capacity is respectively 2 and 27 times higher compared to freeze dried acai and acai pulp, respectively. These data show the importance of the extraction process designed to concentrate acai specific components responsible of the high antioxidant effects in Arolia.
Recommended dosage: 1g/day
In conclusion, one gram of Arolia is equivalent to 2,700 ORAC units and covers 65% of the recommended daily antioxidant intake.
Applications • Beverages • Dairy products • Ice cream • Dietary supplements
Article 352 About acai Acai is the fruit of the palm tree acaizeiro which is typical from Amazonian lands. Acai berries have been traditionally consumed by native Americans from this region and have been recognised as healthy food due to their number of active principles with health benefits: fibres, monoand poly-unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, vitamins and minerals.
About stevia Better known simply as stevia, Stevia rebaudiana is a wild herb which originates from the sub-tropical forest located on the border of Paraguay and Brazil. However, today, stevia is also cultivated in East Asia, including China, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Malaysia. Steviol glycosides are what give Stevia leaves their sweet flavour. These compounds are 40 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Among all steviol glycosides contained in the Stevia leaves, the following can be mentioned: • Stevioside represents 5-10% of the dry matter (250 – 300 times sweeter than sugar). This substance has a bitter, mentholated taste. • Rebaudioside A represents 2- 4% of the dry matter. This is the sweetest substance (200 to 400 times sweeter than sugar), and it has no bitter taste. • Rebaudioside C represents 1- 2% of the dry matter. • Dulcoside A represents 0.5-1% of the dry matter.

Vitafoods 2010 - news from our suppliers Vitafoods 2010 offered many interesting products and news from Alsiano’s suppliers such as microencapsulated solubiliser, baobab and rosehip extract for e.g. beverages, selenium-enriched yeast and microalgae
Vitafoods 2010 is over for this time. Visitors came from all over the world to visit the exhibition which hosted over 500 international exhibiting companies. Here is a brief overview of what our suppliers chose to showcase at Vitafoods 2010: Roquette: Much more than just ingredients The Roquette group presented its ingredients, active agents and excipients. Reflecting the group’s wellknown scientific and technical skills, they offer the nutraceutical industry the opportunity to achieve its ambitions both more creatively and more quickly. Today, nutrition and health are everyone’s priorities. Always responsive to such priorities, Roquette is: • Helping bring about better balance in nutritional intakes with its range of NUTRALYS® proteins of vegetable origin (the pea) and its NUTRIOSE® fibres (from wheat and maize). Likewise its microalgae product ALGOMED®, and specifically Chlorella, with its unique nutritional composition. • Opening up new perspectives in the fields of satiety and digestive health with its NUTRIOSE® fibres. Its NUTRALYS® proteins also have a natural role to play in the satiety field.
• Contributing to the uptake of lutein, a pigment involved in ocular health. Based on a new luteinrich form, this Chlorella is a recent addition to the Roquette range. • Offering a range of high-performance excipients through its complete range of DC Polyols (mannitol, maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol) newly completed with PEARLITOL® Flash, a mannitol compound made from two natural origin ingredients for orodispersible tablets technology, and LYCOAT® - a film-forming starch for original coating solutions. New microencapsulated solubiliser from Seppic SEPPIC’s latest innovation is dedicated to oral solid drug formulations, in which solubilizers are needed. A new innovation is SEPITRAP™, microencapsulated solubilizer (MES), which opens up new possibilities for utilising more effectively poorly water soluble drugs, by improving their solubility and thus their bioavailability. SEPITRAP™ is supplied in powder form and can be used in direct compression. It is recommended for tablet formulations up to 20% (SEPITRAP™ 80) and 15% (SEPITRAP™ 4000). It is also possible to use this new MES to formulate capsules. SEPITRAP™ meets all the requirements of the current USP/NF regarding manufacturing of pharmaceutical ingredients. Lesaffre – EFSA approved selenium enriched yeast Lesaffre showcased Lynside® Forte Se +1200 and Se +2000, seleniumenriched yeast, which is an excellent ingredient for antioxidative and immune formulations. The products contribute to the protection of body cell constituents from oxidative damage, the normal function of the im-

mune system, normal thyroid function and normal spermogenesis. Lynside® Forte selenium has high bioavailability and is authorised in foods - including food supplements – at a European level. Afriplex - rose hip & baobab At Afriplex’s booth, the focus fell on two of their extracts: rosehip and baobab which are suitable for e.g. drinks. Baobab offers opportunities for improvements in the overall nutritional profile of various products. For instance, it contains higher levels of calcium than milk, other fruits and “superfruits”. Of other key nutritional properties it is also worth mentioning that baobab has a high content of dietary fibre, antioxidants, iron, potassium and magnesium. Rose hip is regarded as a natural herb and is an excellent source of vitamins A, D, E and C as well as a range of antioxidant bioflavo- noids. Rose hip can be used in a wide range of applications and is available as powder extract, finely milled powder, and oil. Read more about rose hip and other products from Afriplex on page 5. New SEDOX® dry extract from EPO EPO introduced their brand new SEDOX® dry extract with double standardisation, i.e. 1% verbascoside and 5% total phenols. This extract has been developed by EPO as a completion of their SEDOX® range, which already includes the fluid extracts available both with and without ethanol. Besides its antioxidating action, this extract is recommended ... continues on page 5 >>

No scientific evidence is available to justify Buchu´s herbal uses, but the diuretic and anti-inflammatoric effect may be attributed to the volatile oil and flavonoid’s irritant nature. Despite the lack of evidence, buchu is still used today in western herbal medicine for urinary tract ailments. It is also used in combination with other herbs such as cornsilk, juniper, cranberry and uva-ursi. >> Buchu for urinary tract infection Buchu (Agathosma betulina) is a low growing shrub native to Cape Town, South Africa. It is part of the cultural heritage of the San and Khoi people as a stomach tonic and to treat urinary tract infections. Today, Buchu is widely used as a household medicine in South Africa, with a great reputation for treating kidney and urinary tract diseases. Buchu was first exported to Britain in 1790, and in 1821 it was listed in the British pharmacopoeia as a medicine for ‘cystitis, urethritis, nephritis and catarrh of the bladder’. Buchu is also listed in German Commission E Monographs and has moreover been consumed as herbal tea in Germany for decades. The main compounds in the essential oils of Buchu are isomenthone and diosphenol (Buchu camphor). The flavour oil of Buchu has a characteristic blackcurrant smell and flavour. The essential oils are generally used because of their antiseptic and diuretic properties. Buchu leaves also contain the flavonoids rutin, diosmin, hesperidin, and quecetin. The dry leaves are used in herbal preparations and contain around 3% essential oil.
Buchu from Afriplex is available as water extract spray-dried to maltodextrin, essential oil and ethanolic extract. Applications: tablets, capsules, cosmetics. Rose hips for joint health applications Rose hips are the fruit of the rose species Rosa canina. The fruit is ready to be harvested when it changes colour from green to bright red during early winter in South Africa. The fruit contains mono- and diglycerol (also known as G.O.P.O.) exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties and is therefore often used in joint health applications. Rose hip also contains an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidant bioflavonoids. The cartonoids present in rose hips are betacarotene, lycopene, betacryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and lutein. The benefits of rose hips have been known for centuries. Historians say the Vikings used rose hips to stave off scurvy on their long sea voyages and in the past, rose hips have been used across the world to treat a number of conditions, from arthritis, colds and flu to bladder stones and premature

ageing. During World War II rose hip syrup was an important source of vitamin C for children. Over time, several studies have been made. A human study of a rose hip remedy called LitoZin4) showed possible benefits to rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. Seventy-four people, mostly females, took part in the six-month trial. Just under half took the rose hip remedy LitoZin while the others took a placebo. Both groups continued to take their usual medication. According to results, activity among the group taking the rose hip remedy improved by 20-25%. The number of joints causing pain or discomfort fell by 40%, but did not change for those treated with placebo. Rose hip from Afriplex is available in powder form and as essential oil.

New innovative ingredient for ODT PEARLITOL® Flash is a new innovative compound excipient from Roquette for successful development of fast disintegration formulations such as orodispersible tablets PEARLITOL® Flash offers a technology that enables successful development of fast disintegration formulations such as ODT by providing: • • • • • • By Anders Hager, Sales Manager Healthcare, Alsiano, & Elham Blouet, Pharmaceutical Project and Development Manager, Roquette. What kind of technology can achieve a fast delivery of active ingredients inside the mouth in 2 ml of water? The orodispersible dosage form has the characteristic feature of requiring neither water nor chewing during its administration - orodispersible tablets (ODT) disintegrates in the presence of saliva. ODT are uncoated tablets intended to be placed in the mouth where they disperse rapidly before being swallowed. Besides the fact that the ODT dosage form is one among other means of extending the product lifecycle, this modern medication delivery system offers various benefits: • Easy to swallow – e.g. geriatric and paediatric populations • On-the-go use – does not require drinking water as with a conventional tablet • Better patient compliance - e.g. attractive mouth-feel PEARLITOL® Flash: An innovative compound excipient Based on their wide experience with mannitol (PEARLITOL®), Roquette has developed an innovative binary compound excipient, PEARLITOL® Flash, which is composed of mannitol and maize starch.
A uniquely pleasing taste Fast melting in the mouth Smooth texture An easy DC tabletting process A robust DC excipient A surprisingly simple formulation
PEARLITOL® Flash provides a uniquely pleasing taste experience. The orodispersible tablets melt in the mouth with a very creamy and smooth texture. Contrary to usual orodispersible formulation tablets, no superdisintegrant is needed, since PEARLITOL® Flash mannitol compound exhibits self-disintegration properties. In addition, a low lubricant level (0.4%) is sufficient to achieve good compression performance. This low level is beneficial to maintain the pleasant taste of PEARLITOL® Flash, whereas a high level of lubricant could compromise it. Fast melting in the mouth Orodispersible tablets formulated with PEARLITOL® Flash, 0.4% of lubricant (magnesium stearate) and active substances from 2% up to 30%, display a very quick disintegration time (Eur.Ph. method): 50-80 sec onds. This disintegration time is far below the “within 3 minutes” disintegration time required by the Eur.Ph. for orodispersible tablets.
Directly compressible Thanks to its excellent compactibility, PEARLITOL® Flash makes possible the manufacture of good mechanically resistant tablets by direct compression. Under studied conditions, Korsch XP1 press fitted with 13 mm diameter flat bevelled-edge punches, 15kN compression force was sufficient to obtain 500 mg orodispersible tablets with acceptable hardness, friability and disintegration time characteristics. Regulatory status The use of PEARLITOL® Flash in fast disintegrating tablets or orodispersible formulation tablets is suitable for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. PEARLITOL® Flash is a compound of mannitol and extra white maize starch. Both ingredients comply with pharmaceutical compendial standards and food regulations. A US DMF type IV (excipient) is registered at the FDA. PEARLITOL® Flash – ideal for ODT To sum up, the requirements for the ideal excipient in ODTs are good compatibility, fast disintegration and a nice mouth-feel (sweetener). PEARLITOL® Flash is an excipient that possesses all these abilities. Article 356
