Bioenergy Life Sciences will be in attendance at IFT FIRST 2023 in Chicago to showcase product prototypes featuring its flagship ingredients such as Bioenergy Ribose and Riagev. Experts will be on hand to provide information on the ingredients’ health benefits, and how to formulate with them.
 
“Saying that our ingredients do more and they do it better is more than just a catch phrase. Our ingredients are extensively researched. Plus, our in-house processes guarantee quality and purity,” said Penny Portner, director of marketing, who will be attending IFT First alongside Marianne McDonagh, VP of sales. “Our competitive advantages include Non-GMO Project Verified, keto friendly, slightly sweet flavor profile, browning/caramelizing effect, negative glycemic value, clean label and sustainability.”
 
The company will be showcasing Bioenergy Ribose, a carbohydrate which stimulates the production of ATP, which is utilized for energy by cells. In addition to the standalone ingredient, the company will also offer blind taste tests of a new sweetener powered by Bioenergy Ribose.
 
 Additionally, the company will feature RiaGev, a formulation which contains Bioenergy Ribose and nicotinamide. Functional foods and beverages containing RiaGev and its water-soluble version are formulated to support cognition and concentration, while increasing glutathione, ATP, and NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) production.
 
Lastly, the company will showcase MannoHealth, a high purity D-Mannose ingredient.
 
“BLS does more than supply trusted, branded ingredients,” said Portner. “We have the skills and talent to partner with you on formulation support, product concepts, quality and regulatory, and support your marketing and promotions.”
 
Chef Gerard Viverito will be offering an array of product concepts.. He is preparing taco-flavored, plant-based meat nacho scoops which feature Bioenergy Ribose, which is the secret behind the flavor and aroma of the plant-based protein. He will also showcase MannoHealth fruit gummies which have no sugar added, taking advantage of the natural sweetness of D-mannose. Lastly, the company will feature NAD-boosting soft-baked lemon bars featuring RiaGev.
 
“BLS is re-imagining the possibilities for a wide range of applications especially plant-based foods, snacks, beverages and meal replacements,” said Portner. “You can trust BLS to partner with you on everything from ingredient selection and formulation to creative solutions and strategic marketing support.”
