Recent research links concentrated capsaicin with halting the spread of prostate cancer. Four USP-grade capsicum extracts for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications are available. These are highly concentrated and purified natural extracts of Capsicum frutescens L and/or Capsicum annuum L that are standardized for capsaicin (6-29 percent) and total capsaicinoid content (14-67 percent). Functional foods can be formulated with these products to deliver an efficient and concentrated form of capsaicinoids.

Harvest season brings new research that suggests adding just a handful of pecans to your diet each day may inhibit unwanted oxidation of blood lipids, thus helping reduce the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Earlier results from this research found a pecan-rich diet could be as effective at lowering cholesterol as prescription drugs. Pecans can be munched straight from the bag or added to a variety of foods such as salads, waffles, cereal and even chicken breasts.

New white tea flavors blend exceptionally well with other tea profiles and fruit flavors. The flavors are natural and work well in a variety of applications. Milder than both black and green teas, white tea possesses a wonderfully light yet full-bodied tea character. Its slightly sweet flavor profile lacks the “grassy” undertones sometimes associated with green tea. The products come as natural, water-soluble liquids and are useful for beverages, dairy, nutraceuticals, syrups, yogurt, ice cream, sorbet and more.
