Plant extracts
for food applications
The wave of “food for health and well being” is flooding our industrialised countries. Always speeding up in their active lives, consumers are looking for easy to use products able to compensate for poorly balanced diets. A number of these products (food complements, functional foods…) contain herbal extracts that aim at promoting well-being through a natural way.
A renowned specialist for vegetable extraction for more than 25 years, Alban Muller International (A.M.I.) is a leader in the field of natural products for health and beauty. As a true Natural Product Designer®, A.M.I. offers you a comprehensive and personalised assistance to the development of extracts meeting your needs (dry extracts, concentrated aqueous extracts, liquid alcoholic extracts). We can adapt to your own specifications or draw up a very flexible development contract on request, which can include all the stages necessary to finalise a product (from the marketing concept to the production of a pilot batch).
A.M.I. offers a selection of Foodamis®: dried extracts, specifically developed for food applications.
Their dosage in active principles and tracers confirms their richness in plant content.
Foodamis® may be soluble or not, according to the manufacturing process implemented.
Please contact us for more detailed information.
