Applied Food Sciences PurGinseng
With GRAS determination and water solubility, PurGinseng™ offers a clean-label adaptogen for innovative beverages and supplements
Applied Food Sciences (AFS) announced the launch of PurGinseng™, a premium, highly water-soluble 100% Panax ginseng extract poised to simplify food and beverage formulation. Appropriate for applications such as beverages, stick packs, and effervescent tablets, PurGinseng™ offers an innovative solution for brands seeking to enhance their product offerings with a time-honored adaptogen.
PurGinseng™ is sourced exclusively from 100% non-GMO Panax ginseng root and standardized to contain 8% (+/- 3%) ginsenosides, the active compounds responsible for ginseng’s potent health benefits. These ginsenosides have been shown to offer numerous health benefits, including enhanced physical and mental performance, improved stress response, and bolstered immunity. Panax ginseng has been revered for over two millennia as a powerful adaptogen in traditional medicine, helping the body to cope with stress while promoting overall well-being.
The name 'Panax' is derived from the Greek word panacea, meaning 'remedy for all' reflecting its historic use in overall wellness. AFS has now made the benefits of Panax ginseng more accessible through PurGinseng™, offering its health properties in a format suited for modern-day applications.
Applied Food Sciences announced that PurGinseng™ has achieved the first known GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) determination for a Panax ginseng ingredient standardized specifically to ginsenosides. By meeting the rigorous standards of the GRAS process, PurGinseng™ establishes itself as a benchmark in the ginseng market, allowing manufacturers to confidently incorporate this powerful adaptogen into their product lines.
PurGinseng™ offers water solubility, enabling formulators to easily incorporate it into beverages, effervescent tablets, and powders without the challenges typically associated with traditional ginseng extracts. This allows for greater consistency and ease of use across product formats. Its versatility, coupled with a two-year shelf life, provides manufacturers with an easy-to-use, stable ingredient that integrates seamlessly into a wide range of product applications.
PurGinseng™ is more than just a powerful ingredient; it’s a cost-effective solution for brands looking to enhance their products with ginseng's known health benefits. With a great sensory profile, highly water-soluble properties, and shelf stability, PurGinseng™ offers manufacturers an innovative and reliable option for incorporating adaptogens into their products.
