Plant-Based Ingredient Enhances Sweetness, Balances Flavor
CHICAGO, April 24 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world’s leading producer and innovator of great-tasting stevia ingredients for the global beverage and food industries, is pleased to announce it is now offering its proprietary NSF-02® stevia flavor solution directly to its customers. This important PureCircle solution was previously distributed by a third party as a strategic option within PureCircle’s growing natural flavor portfolio. PureCircle is now able to provide food and beverage companies as well as flavor houses direct purchase of, and access to, the ingredient. Protected by PureCircle’s intellectual property, the NSF-02 stevia solution is part of the company’s robust portfolio of stevia leaf ingredients including sweeteners, flavor modifiers and functional ingredients. The NSF-02® stevia flavor is a unique solution. It is widely valued and used for its ability to enhance sweetness quality and balance overall flavor profile, while minimizing off-notes and aftertaste. The NSF-02® solution is produced from the stevia leaf and labelled as natural flavor, while delivering sweetness enhancement and balanced flavor profiles. Companies can now purchase NSF-02® stevia flavor directly from PureCircle, and work with the Company on how to apply this ingredient as part of flavor systems. Customers using NSF-02® stevia flavor can leverage PureCircle’s industry-leading formulation expertise and technical support with stevia-based ingredients in flavor systems and optimized sweetener/flavor solutions across a broad set of consumer product applications. Consumers are increasingly mindful about their health and wellness and about the ingredients in the foods and beverages they consume. Food and beverage companies are responding to that. Ingredients seen as natural have growing appeal. PureCircle’s flavor portfolio – including the NSF-02® solution -- fills that bill perfectly. According to Nielsen’s 2018 Global Premiumization Study, “consumers will be seeking greater assurance that the products they buy are free of risk and of the highest quality when it comes to safety standards and efficacy, particularly with respect to cleaning products, antiseptics and food items.” Nielsen found that 41% of consumers would be willing to pay more for all-natural ingredients, and 49% percent would pay more for products with high-safety standards. PureCircle, the everything stevia company with a fully integrated, secure and transparent supply chain, provides just that assurance: ingredients that are of the highest quality and safety standards. Unique in the ability to deliver consumer assurance, PureCircle’s NSF-02® stevia flavor is the only FDA reviewed GSG (glycosylated steviol glycoside) flavor available commercially. Flavor ingredients have high standards of review by the FDA and other regulatory food safety agencies like EFSA. PureCircle is the exclusive, authorized provider of GSG flavors, including NSF-02® flavor and is uniquely able to guarantee full compliance with food safety regulatory authorities related to the use of GSG as a flavor solution. Commenting on PureCircle’s offering of NSF-02, PureCircle Deputy CEO Stephane Ducroux said: “The NSF-02® stevia solution is a flagship ingredient in our flavor portfolio. We are pleased to directly supply this important ingredient to everyone in the food and beverage industry. It can be used as a standalone ingredient or as part of flavour systems and multi-ingredient solutions to deliver the best combination of taste, cost effectiveness and compliance. Our technical team is uniquely equipped to help with the synergies between flavor modifiers and stevia leaf natural sweeteners. We are dedicated to serving food, beverage and flavour house customers with the best stevia leaf ingredients, today and tomorrow.” The intellectual property regarding the usage of glycosylated steviol glycosides as a flavor modifier, including NSF-02® flavor specifically, belongs to PureCircle.

Sweeteners from the stevia plant offer sugar-like taste and are becoming an increasingly important tool for these companies. · Like sugar, stevia sweeteners are from plants. But unlike sugar, they enable low-calorie and zero-calorie formulations of beverages and foods. · Stevia leaf extract is a natural-based, zero calorie, high-intensity sweetener, used by global food and beverage companies as a great-tasting zero-calorie alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. · Stevia is a naturally sweet plant native to South America; today, it is grown around the world, notably in Kenya, China and the US. · The sweet-tasting parts of the stevia leaf are up to 350 times sweeter than sugar: stevia’s high-intensity sweetness means it requires far less water and land than sugar. · Research has shown that the molecules of the stevia leaf are present and unchanged in the dried stevia leaf, through the commercial extraction and purification process, and in the final stevia leaf extract product. All major global regulatory organisations, across 65 countries, have approved the use of high-purity stevia leaf extracts in food and beverages. · For more information on the science of stevia, please visit https://www.purecirclesteviainstitute.com/ A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/3fc5a67f-66e4-41fb-a6d0-5aefe52b8799 SOURCE: PureCircle --BERNAMA Pulse Secure's solution highlighted in new Zero Trust Network Security market insight report24/4/2020 KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 -- Pulse Secure, a software-defined Secure Access solutions provider, via its Access Suite and SDP solution has been recognised in ‘Market Insights: Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) for Zero Trust Network Security, 2020’.

The Asian Paralympic Games is the largest comprehensive sports event for the disabled in Asia. Held every four years, it takes place after the closing of the Asian Games. The Games will be held from Oct 9 to 15, 2022 in Hangzhou, China after the previous Games in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 2018. The charming and optimistic bird Feifei (pronounced Fay Fay in English) is based on a common motif of a ‘divine bird’ in the prehistoric Liangzhu Culture of Hangzhou. According to a statement, the ‘divine bird’ is a harbinger of good news and messenger of culture and happiness in Chinese culture. The first 'Fei' means flying, referring to inclusiveness, respect and fraternity of society, while the second 'Fei' represents the tenacity of athletes with disabilities who pursue their dreams. A mark on the mascot's face resembles the letter ‘i’, a reference to the ‘intelligent city’ of Hangzhou as an important hub in China’s Internet. A ring on its chest comprising 45 dots is symbolic of the joyful gathering of all Asian Paralympic Committee members. The competition venues used during the Hangzhou Asian Games in September will be upgraded for the Paralympic Games, with improved barrier-free facilities to ensure the needs of competing athletes being met. -- BERNAMA |
