The SoyLife brand includes a range of ingredients based on soy germ, containing high levels of isoflavones.

Inulin Promotes Probiotic Vitality
Orafti has conducted a new study to determine if its Raftilose inulin promotes the survival of probiotic bacteria during product storage and through digestion in the body. The study tested yogurts containing the probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus or Lactobacillus casei, with 3% Raftilose P95 or Raftilose Synergy 1. The results indicate:
* At 10 weeks, both types of Raftilose (added at 3%) were shown to protect probiotic bacteria over shelflife with no change in viability,
* The yogurt processed through the in-vitro stomach/intestine with Raftilose showed no significant difference in L. rhamnosus cell counts versus a 36% decrease in counts for the control yogurt with no added Raftilose and
* The yogurt with L. casei cultures showed a 5% decrease in culture vitality with Raftilose, while the control yogurt without added Raftilose suffered a 19% decrease in cell counts after simulated digestion. Orafti, John Martin, 610-889-9828, jmartin@orafti-us.com, www.orafti.com
Boosting Brain Health
Phosphatidylserine (PS), a natural phospholipids nutrient, is active in cell membranes and is the major acidic phospholipid in animal brain membranes. Clinical research shows PS is beneficial for memory loss conditions, cognitive performance, improving mood and learning abilities. Enzymotec's R&D team has developed a new production method that enables the manufacture of high-grade PS: PS70 and PS90, in addition to other extensive products in its Sharp-PSTM line. The new grades are most suitable as bulk active for dietary supplements and functional foods, and allow manufacturers a range of capsule sizes, including making smaller capsules with the same RDA content. All PS grades are highly stable, easily tableted and have a long shelflife. The new grades are available in powder form and claim to have excellent flowability and color.
