Wild Flavors Unveils Vegetable Nutraceuticals

Wild Flavors (Erlanger KY) has introduced Vegeceuticals, a line of phytonutrient-containing vegetable nutraceuticals intended to deliver vegetable health benefits in an easy-to-consume application

The product line currently features two blends: an orange extract containing beta-carotene from carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, paprika (from chili peppers), and reishi mushroom; and a red extract containing anthocyanins from purple  sweet potato, purple maize, purple carrot, beet, rhubarb, tomato, and red cabbage.

According to Wild, its new products are clean-tasting and highly soluble, making the products suitable for various foods and beverages, including enhanced waters, teas, juices, dry beverage mixes, baked goods, desserts, and nutrition bars.
