What are the annual raw materials in the five major fields of brain health, sugar substitutes and functional sugars, oral beauty...?

Gathering global food innovation ideas, keeping cutting-edge good raw materials close at hand, and focusing on new food horizons, we selected from the five major tracks of "brain health", "sugar substitutes and functional sugars", "oral beauty", "sports nutrition" and "intestinal health" Out of the year very raw material.

1. The most “brain healthy” ingredient of the year

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Disodium Salt

Active ingredient: Pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt

Pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt is a water-soluble quinone compound and is the third oxidoreductase discovered after nicotinamide nucleotides (NAD+ and NADP+) and flavin nucleotides (FAD and FMN). Coenzymes are widely found in various common foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains and drinks. In October 2023, the National Health Commission approved the fermentation method to produce PQQ as a new food raw material.

PQQ has similar metabolic kinetic characteristics to those of the B vitamins in the body. It can enter cells to accelerate the conversion of the "longevity factor" NAD+. At the same time, it regulates the biogenesis of mitochondria in a targeted manner, supports the high-speed operation of mitochondria, and is truly a cell organelle. Level repair and anti-aging, accelerated energy generation. Based on its main coenzyme factor regulating effect and targeted mitochondrial enhancement mechanism, PQQ can be used to continuously improve the efficacy of products and maintain the core competitiveness of products in terms of cell anti-aging, skin anti-aging, cognitive improvement, and energy improvement. Powerful new food ingredients.

Phosphatidylserine

Active ingredient: Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a natural phospholipid that forms an important component of cell membranes. About 50% of the dry weight of human brain nerve cell membranes is phospholipids. PS exists in large amounts in brain nerve cells and is called the "brain nutrient". Its main function is to improve the function of nerve cells, regulate the conduction of nerve impulses, enhance the memory function of the brain, and effectively prevent and reduce the decline of brain function.

A large number of foreign clinical trials have confirmed that phosphatidylserine can improve brain function, improve memory, relieve brain fatigue; repair brain damage; improve attention and relieve children's ADHD; provide sports nutrition, relieve muscle fatigue; relieve tension, anti-depression; improve sleep, Improve sleep quality and other effects. At present, China, the United States, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Canada and other countries and regions have passed relevant regulations, allowing phosphatidylserine to be used in food processing in limited quantities as food or dietary supplements. Among them, Chinese regulations stipulate that the consumption range of phosphatidylserine (excluding infant food) should not exceed 600 mg/day.

2. The annual special "sugar substitute and functional sugar" raw materials

Plant-based sugar substitute series

Active ingredient: Stevioside

The plant-based sugar substitute series uses steviol glycosides, a natural ingredient in stevia, as the core raw material, and selects rebaudioside M, a rare component in stevia glycosides, to create a sweetness unique to plant-based sugar substitutes, which is full and sweet. nature. Different series have been designed for different scenarios such as baking and beverages. They can not only achieve the sweetness multiple of sucrose, but also perfectly simulate the taste and texture of sucrose.

The plant-based sugar substitute series is based on natural raw materials in nature, using pure natural strains and precision fermentation technology for production.

3. The most “sports nutrition” ingredient of the year

N-acetylglucosamine

Active ingredient: N-acetylglucosamine

N-acetylglucosamine, referred to as NAG, is a functional monosaccharide in the body. It is one of the important monomers of hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans. It is distributed in the connective tissue, skin tissue, articular cartilage, and intestinal mucosa of the human body. , breast milk and other parts. As an important precursor of hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans, N-acetylglucosamine can promote the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans, thereby improving joint health and skin health.

N-acetylglucosamine exerts positive effects in areas such as joint health and oral beauty. Clinical trials have shown that oral administration of NAG for 12 weeks can improve joint health and exert cartilage protection in healthy individuals by inhibiting the ratio of type II collagen degradation markers (C2C)/synthesis (PIICP) markers.

Chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide

Active ingredient: Chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide rich in disaccharides and tetrasaccharides

Chondroitin Sulfate (CS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan naturally present in the cartilage matrix, which is mainly composed of sugar units such as glucosamine and galactosamine. It is an important component of articular cartilage and has the functions of promoting cartilage matrix synthesis, inhibiting cartilage degradation, maintaining joint fluid viscosity, and enhancing joint lubrication. Due to its unique biological functions, chondroitin sulfate is widely used in joint health products, especially in the treatment of joint degenerative diseases and the relief of age-related joint problems.

Chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide uses patented enzymatic technology to simulate the chondroitin metabolism pathway in the body, enzymatically decomposing large molecules of chondroitin sulfate into small molecules of chondroitin sulfate with a molecular weight of about 1000 Da and rich in disaccharides and tetrasaccharides. Its structure is similar to that of large molecules. The molecule chondroitin is similar to its natural degradation products in the intestine. Compared with traditional chondroitin sulfate, the oral bioavailability of chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide is up to 158 times, which can significantly improve absorption efficiency, quickly relieve joint discomfort symptoms, and reduce gastrointestinal burden.

4. The most “oral beauty” raw material of the year

PQQ pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt

Active ingredient: pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt

PQQ(Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Disodium Salt) is made from Methylovorus glucosotrophus as a strain through fermentation, extraction, purification, crystallization, drying and other processes. In addition to high-content PQQ pure powder, PQQ-granules are also innovatively launched, which are obtained by re-granulating PQQ pure powder. The release time is as long as 12 hours, the cumulative dissolution is ≥90%, and there is no sudden release phenomenon.

As a high-growth hot ingredient known as the "anti-aging dark horse", PQQ's powerful functions have brought consumers a new era of anti-aging. It has excellent performance in the fields of brain health and oral beauty, and is applicable to a wide range of people, covering almost all The entire life cycle from infancy to old age. Pharmacokinetic experiments found that PQQ exhibits slow absorption and fast metabolism in mice, and PQQ-particles can relatively better maintain the concentration of PQQ in the body and extend the effective time, thus improving the bioavailability of PQQ.

5. The most “gut healthy” ingredient of the year

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp.lactis

Active ingredient: Bifidobacterium animalis subsp.lactis

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis is isolated from the intestines of healthy infants and young children in China. It is derived from a probiotic strain library and is a high-quality strain obtained through thousands of rigorous screening and efficacy evaluation experiments. Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis has been confirmed through whole-genome sequencing of the strain and has good safety and a long history of safe consumption. It is included in China's "List of strains that can be used in food" and the EU's Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) list.

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis can significantly promote the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus and can inhibit the curable Helicobacter pylori and Escherichia Shigella species in the intestine. In addition, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis also has the effect of promoting intestinal digestion, promoting intestinal peristalsis and increasing pepsin excretion.
