Ingredients by Nature, a manufacturer and supplier of food and dietary supplement ingredients, recently completed a GRAS profile on its lemon flavonoid ingredient Eriomin. The GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) review was completed with assistance from GRAS Associates, a subsidiary of Nutrasource.
“We are very excited to see Eriomin achieve self-GRAS status,” said Rob Brewster, President of IBN. “The reception of this goes to show our continued investment and focus, as a leading manufacturer and supplier of citrus flavonoids, on developing and researching these beneficial ingredients. It is important for us that we are able to share with our customers that based on scientific procedures, Eriomin is now GRAS. Through further studies and research, we are excited to see what other benefits this ingredient has in store.”
Eriomin is a high-potency standardized extract of lemon-based flavonoids. These flavonoids have been clinically-tested, and have now been scientifically-reviewed as safe for the U.S. food supply.
“Nutrasource is very pleased to have assisted Ingredients By Nature in achieving the GRAS conclusion for their citrus-derived bioflavonoids Eriomin,” Amy Mozingo, VP of U.S. nutra regulatory sciences for Nutrasource/GRAS Associates, said. “An independent panel of qualified experts unanimously agreed that use of Eriomin in nutritional beverages at levels up to 0.84 mg/mL is GRAS.”
GRAS Associates assists supplement and food ingredient companies with full regulatory scientific services from concept to claim, including regulatory guidance, program development, establishing safety of ingredients, claims substantiation, and technical label review for U.S. market access.
Eriomin’s applications include a powder for single-ingredient capsules, soft gels, and blends, a granulated compressed form available for tablets, a suspendible form for beverages, and a masking property for bitter flavor profiles. It can also be used as a natural preservative.
