MemreePS can now be used for food applications such as yogurt-based foods and beverages, cereal bars, chocolate-based confectionery and milk-powder-based drinks in the EU.
MemreePS has already been approved for various food categories in the US by the FDA-GRAS and in China, and for use in supplements in the EU, Switzerland, Russia and other regions/countries.
“The extension of the approval for MemreePS to food categories in Europe underlines our strategy of strengthening our product offers to the functional foods industry,” said Ilya Zhivkovich, head of marketing for nutrition at Lonza. “We will continuously increase our efforts to position our ingredients in this branch through regulatory channels and scientific development.”
The Memree brand covers a line of products that includes high-quality, soy-based phosphatidylserine (PS). PS is an important structural component of cell membranes and is found in concentrated amounts in brain cells. MemreePS contains high-quality PS, which can be used for cognitive health applications.
