Higher antioxidant cranberry extract from Decas
cranberry extract that it claims offers an increased level of
anti-microbial and antioxidant properties than the leading product
in the category.
Initial tests conducted by an independent laboratory found in a comparative analysis that NutriCran Bio-100 had a higher level of proanthocyanidins (PAC) than commercially available whole cranberry extracts, including the market leader, said Decas.
PACs, or condensed tannins, have been identified as the active component responsible for inhibiting the adhesion of certain bacteria to cell walls. More than 10 million Americans experience urinary tract infections each year and many turn to cranberry-based products for relief.
Market applications for NutriCran Bio-100 include nutritional supplements, functional foods and beverages, dental hygiene products, animal feed and nutrition, natural cosmetics, and colorings and flavorings.
"With the introduction of NutriCran Bio-100, DBS raises the bar among commercially available cranberry extracts for providing new levels of anti-microbial and antioxidant property strength," said Reza Ghaedian, vice president of science and technology at Decas Botanical Synergies.
