New for food and nutraceutical stakeholders: discover how to excel in your instant drink formulations based on Natural Origins' botanical extraction which provides the following differentiating features:

• perfect solubility,
• emblematic botanical taste,
• clean label declaration,
• health claims thanks to natural active ingredients,
• and "Made in France" design and manufacturing.

What are Clear Water Soluble extracts (CWS) and Taste Giving Extracts (TGE) ?

Our CWS or Clear Water Soluble extracts are water-soluble botanical extracts with numerous advantages:

• they can be labelled as "natural extracts" with a health promise
• their solubility is optimal and they guarantee crystal-clear beverages based on their low turbidity
• the organoleptic impact of our botanical extracts is minimised and calibrated
• in addition, we can standardise CWS with phytoactives, if needed

Applications:

• instant drinks
• effervescent tablets
• carbonated drinks
• flavoured waters
• spirits
  
  

Our TGE or Taste Giving Extracts are taste-optimised aromatic botanical extracts that add value to products thanks to the "natural extract" label. An alternative to artificial flavours, they reveal the authentic, emblematic taste of each botanical from as little as 2g/L (low dosage).

Applications:

• smoothies
• shots
• juices
• ready-to-drink
• instant drinks
• effervescent tablets
• carbonated drinks
• flavoured waters
• beers and spirits.

Focus on our organic, 100% natural, isotonic, low glycemic index, Performance Drink concept

Natural Origins has created a concept that illustrates all aspects of ingredients, integrating:

• taste
• colour
• and performance with botanical extracts.

It's therefore a clean-label recipe.

The acerola and ginseng CWSs support the "energy" claim

The 25% vitamin C content of acerola extract (0.8% CWS) includes the following health claims (1):

• contributes to  energy metabolism
• the normal functioning of the immune system (2)
• reduces fatigue...
  
  

Ginseng (0.2% CWS) is known to improve physical and mental capacities during periods of fatigue or exhaustion (3). Ginseng is a well-known and popular plant in the world of sport, performance and energy. It is an adaptogenic plant which will give a boost to people lacking in energy.

Isotonicity (4) (sugar/salt ratio) is an important parameter for sportspeople. When the drink is isotonic, its passage through the bloodstream is optimal, providing effective hydration and energy.

Hibiscus extract (0.2% CWS) provides the naturally appealing colour to the drink. 

Flavour with TGEs

Ginger and verbena TGEs are very powerful and represent alternatives to aromas that bring out the authentic taste of the botanical. Ginger is energising, with a fresh lemon note reminiscent of lemongrass and an earthy, rhizome-like base. Ginger's spiciness gives it a kick, while verbena adds a light, fresh green leaf note. The lemony taste of verbena, enhanced by a powerful zest, is much sought-after in sports nutrition, so why not take a chance on this nice Made in France flavour!
