The most forward-thinking commercial companies are invited to present their research and product portfolio as the exclusive success stories within their relevant fields, to the Vitafoods Europe Executive Advisory Board (EAB).

The selected industry presentations will be invited to speak alongside some of the world’s leading experts within functional nutrition and nutraceuticals and highlighted as this year’s chosen ‘success story’ within core areas such as cognitive health, weight management, digestive health, infant health, healthy ageing and heart health. Only one company will be selected to be highlighted per health category.

Carolina Lindahl, Vitafoods Conference & Content Manager said: “The Vitafoods Europe Conference continues to take an active part in shaping the functional food and beverage industry. This year, after extensive consultation with the industry, we are developing a programme that will bridge the gap between science and industry, enabling the sharing of critical knowledge, innovative ingredient solutions, delivery formats and the facilitation of new partnerships.”

The conference forms part of Vitafoods Europe (10 – 12 May 2016), the global nutraceutical event for ingredients and raw materials and the functional food and drink industries. Last year saw 15,627 visitors and 820 exhibitors come together from across the globe to discover new ingredients and services, learn about innovative approaches to business and the latest research, and to discuss potential business opportunities.

Lycored’s natural colours don’t just look good – they are good

Lycored, the global leader in carotenoids, has overcome the most common technical problems with natural colours to develop a range of vibrant reds, oranges and yellows that make it easy for food and beverage manufacturers to ditch artificial ingredients for good.

Natural colours from Lycored are certified Kosher and Halal, non-GMO, vegetarian and are heat, light and pH stable. They give an authentic appearance to a wide range of products time after time – but not at the expense of a clean label.

Available in the Lycored natural colourings range are two core offerings:

·         Tomat-O-Red^®– created using tomato-derived lycopene, it offers a more technically sound red colouring alternative to unstable beetroot and anthocyanins, as well as carmine, which is not vegetarian-friendly. It is perfect for use in fruit preparations, dairy products, confectionery, meat, baked goods and beverages. Lycored’s lycopene is highly stable under a wide range of pH, ascorbic acid and high-temperature conditions.

·         Lyc-O-Beta^®– sourced from Blakeslea trispora, a beta-carotene-rich, allergen-free natural fungus cultivated by Lycored. Natural beta-carotene extracted from Blakeslea Trispora offers a spectrum of yellow to orange shades for use in bakery, fillings, confectionery, dairy and beverages.

Both ingredients are available in liquid formats in a range of different formulations designed to deliver varying levels of colour intensity. They are approved for use as food colourants in the US, EU, Japan and Australia.

Tomat-O-Red^®and Lyc-O-Beta^® offer specific application benefits. In beverages, they are light-stable and stable alongside added healthy ingredients such as Vitamin C. They are perfect for dairy products because they are stable in pasteurisation and most UHT processes, and when used in fruit yoghurts they will not bleed into the white mass. In confectionery, meanwhile, they offer a safe, natural and visually appealing colour that will delight children.

Tamara Higgins, Lycored’s Global Category Manager for Coloration, said: “There’s huge pressure on food and beverage manufacturers to use natural colours but this can cause a range of technical problems at the point of production. Our natural colours portfolio has been designed to offer the best of everything ­– naturalness and superb appearance, but not at the expense of performance and functionality. With our colours, your food and beverage products won’t just look fantastic, but they’ll also be natural, safe and stable – everything today’s retailers and consumers want and expect.”

Tomat-O-Red^®and Lyc-O-Beta^® natural colours are supplied with the assurance of full traceability because Lycored produces all of the raw materials used to make them. The lycopene in Tomat-O-Red^® is extracted from tomatoes grown in Israel, while Lyc-O-Beta^® is derived from Blakeslea Trispora cultivated by Lycored in carefully controlled conditions.

Lycored has created a white paper containing more details about its natural colourings. To request a FREE copy, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
