Applied Food Sciences has introduced PurGinseng™, a new Panax ginseng extract that is notable for being highly water-soluble and achieving GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status. This product is designed for ease of incorporation into various food and beverage formulations, including drinks, stick packs, and effervescent tablets. PurGinseng™ is derived entirely from non-GMO Panax ginseng root. The ingredient is tied to improved physical performance and stress management.
The achievement of GRAS status for PurGinseng™ marks a significant development as it will allow manufacturers to integrate the ginseng extract with confidence regarding its safety and regulatory approval. This is particularly appealing to brands in the functional food and beverage sectors that seek to capitalize on the growing interest in adaptogenic
and health-conscious ingredients.
