Liprogren® MFGM
The Potent Phospholipid Complex for Gut and Brain Health.
(Milk Fat Globule Membrane) is a high-phospholipid complex MFGM ingredient derived from dairy milk. MFGM has been shown to benefit gut and brain health.
The MFGM complex is a mixture of proteins, lipids, complex carbohydrates and the phospholipid composition is similar to that of neuronal cell membranes and contribute to the development of neuronal membrane cells along with helping to maintain a healthy intestinal lining. A number of published research studies have demonstrated MFGM’s importance in the human diet and have shown health benefits for gut, brain, immune health and other related conditions. In fact, MFGM is foundational to human health as it has co-evolved with mammals and humans, becoming an important part of the human diet. Not found in plants and only found in mammalian milk, the MFGM complex is nature’s first source of phospholipids and delivers significant health benefits.
Masking Flavours
Flavorjen have a range of flavour tools that include ‘masking flavours. These flavours have been developed to mask those off flavours in plant-based ingredients, soy, almond, pea and other similar products.
This technology will also mask stevia after notes, nutraceutical ingredients that impart bitter notes and those fatty notes that appear in some formulations.
These flavour tools are also available in vegan format.
Mouthfeel
Flavorjen also have a range of products that will improve mouthfeel and impart a richness in the formulation particularly where that rich aftertaste is required.
These flavours will also fuse a mix of flavours into a formulation and better balance the overall flavour experience.
