Dr. Paul Lohmann® presents soluble selenium trituration
Just like all the other trace elements, selenium is essential for maintaining many of our body functions. For example, as an integral part of proteins and enzymes, selenium protects from oxidant damages. Moreover, selenium is indispensable for the normal thyroid function, the DNA biosynthesis, regeneration of the antioxidant vitamin E, reproduction as well as the maintenance of the immune system.
In many countries and regions agriculturally intensively utilized soils are often poor in mineral nutrients. Therefore, a sufficient supply of trace elements is not always assured, even with a balanced diet. For this reason, the enrichment of foods with trace elements such as selenium is becoming more and more important.
For a safe and easy handling Dr. Paul Lohmann® offers triturations, in which the respective trace element is diluted and homogenously distributed in an inert carrier material like: calcium carbonate, maltodextrin or sodium citrate. Compared to the respective pure substances, triturations offer many advantages:
- safer to handle
- easier to dose
- lower toxicity
- direct application and processing
Our product range includes triturations of the most important trace elements selenium, chromium, iodine, copper and molybdenum.
For applications in beverages and foods, in which a soluble carrier material is required, we would like to present you our new sodium selenite trituration in sodium citrate. Owing to its good solubility, sodium citrate is already used in large quantities in the beverage industry, mostly as an acidity regulator. Thus, our sodium selenite trituration is outstandingly applicable for the enrichment of beverages or liquid dietary supplements. Furthermore, an additional declaration of the carrier substance sodium citrate is not necessary when it is already used in the respective application.
If you require further information or support regarding application we shall be glad to be at your disposal.
Calcium Formate for fermentation purposes
In February 2009, we added a new Calcium Formate grade to our product portfolio, especially designed for the usage in fermentation purposes.
Usually Calcium Formate is a by-product to Pentaerythritol (Penta), and is mainly used in the feed market and in the construction industry, where very basic qualities are applied.
For applications in the pharma sector but also for the fermentation of enzymes, a different quality is required. This kind of product is not used from the above side stream, but is processed on-purpose from the raw materials in order to ensure the required quality level.
BEVERAGE FORTIFICATION - WHAT'S NEW!
Over the past few years the market has been witnessing an increasing and steady demand for functional drinks. A key role in the development of functional, energy and sport drinks is played by mineral fortification.
Dr. Paul Lohmann®, world’s leading company in the production of mineral salts, is now launching on the market some new concepts and solutions for the fortification of traditional beverages.
Calcium Lactate PLUS has been developed by Dr. Paul Lohmann®, to meet the increasing demand for a highly soluble Calcium source. This innovative product has a content of Calcium, 35% higher than in regular Calcium Lactate and dissolves in a few seconds (also at higher pH) in comparison to the regular Lactate.
These qualities make the product very suitable for flavoured or mineral-added beverages.
Dr. Paul Lohmann’s Calcium Citrate and Calcium Carbonate are advised for systems requiring non-soluble minerals.
For Magnesium fortification it is advised to use hydro-soluble salts such as Dr. Paul Lohmann’s Magnesium Citrates, Magnesium Gluconate and Magnesium Lactate.
Any possible problem deriving from high reactivity and possible reaction with flavours due to iron and zinc salt fortification has been solved by high-end technologies like micronisation of minerals or encapsulation technology. Due to these technologies it is possible to offer a product range with a granolometry starting from 2 µm
Dr. Paul Lohmann® also offers special and customizedpremixes comprising several minerals.
The use of Premixes allows to drastically reduce costs and is a valid alternative for beverage fortification. Premixes are formulated to meet the specific needs of customers. Dr. Paul Lohmann® selects the minerals suitable for specific applications, studying the dosage able to guarantee the required RDA. Premixes help reducing storage expenses. Dr. Paul Lohmann® can offer the beverage industry a complete range of premixes: - mineral premixes for isotonic drinks which can release Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium according to the physiological ratio; - premixes for flavoured waters - special premixes for sport drinks, containing Magnesium, Calcium and Vitamins.
Dr. Paul Lohmann® highlights two soluble forms of Ferric Pyrophosphate
Dr. Paul Lohmann® is one of the worlds leading manufacturers of Ferric Pyrophosphate, commonly used to fortify chocolate drink powder or infant formulae with Iron. Ferric Pyrophosphate is used because organoleptic changes to food are usually negligible.
Besides a type with 21% Iron assay, a version with 25% is also manufactured by Dr. Paul Lohmann®. In order to further increase bioavailability, both variants are also available in a micronized form
(2-5 µm).
For liquid applications, Dr. Paul Lohmann® has developed two highly soluble forms of Ferric Pyrophosphate:
- Ferric Pyrophosphate Soluble with Sodium Citrate (Iron assay 10%)
- Ferric Pyrophosphate Soluble with Ammonium Citrate (Iron assay approx. 15.5%)
With these four product qualities you are able to offer your customers a comprehensive and high value portfolio of Ferric Pyrophosphate for the safe and efficient application in foods.
