www.vitablend.nl Premixes for Drinks In today’s competitive environment, Vitablend is able to combine high quality ingredients with competitive prices. Customers can chose a standard premix, but custom made blends are usually chosen as these are designed based upon the levels of vitamins already available from ingredients. Convenient dosing levels are taken into account while designing the perfect premix. For optimum suitability and convenience, packing sizes are easily adjusted to requirements per batch (from 50 grams to 25 kg). Vitamin Premix A-C-E An example of a popular fortification of beverages is the success of the ACE drinks. The combination of vitamins A, C and E represent the antioxidant vitamins, protecting the body against free radicals. These free radicals lead to increased rate of ageing. Vitablend premixes deliver between 15% and 50% of the RDA of these antioxidant vitamins, without the risk of ringing (a separation of dark orange colour). Standard and custom made solutions are available. Our formulation experts are able to calculate your most efficient premix, based upon the contribution of currently used ingredients to the total presence of the important vitamins. Vitamin Premix B-C-E Besides fortification with A-C-E vitamins, it is also possible to enrich a beverage with B-C-E vitamins. A target group of consumers can be those who do not eat meat products, as these are an important source of B12. Another reason for adding some B-vitamins is that these vitamins are involved in the digestion of the nutrients from foods. In the B-C-E premix there is no beta carotene present, therefore the premix has much less effect on the appearance of the applied beverage. Another interesting fact is that the cost of adding provitamin A is substantially higher than that of adding B-vitamins.
