AFS is a supplier of green coffee caffeine extract standardized for chlorogenic acids and naturally occurring caffeine content.  JAVA.g® green coffee caffeine offers an innovative fingerprint that combines the potent health benefits from green coffee antioxidants with the natural caffeine from coffee. This ingredient is perfect for formulating healthy functional beverages and foods. JAVA.g® is quickly becoming a popular solution for natural energy drinks. One of the most highly bioavailable antioxidants to humans is called Chlorogenic Acids (CGA).  One major source of CGA is coffee beans.  Chlorogenic acids in green coffee have quickly become a popular source of antioxidants used in both nutraceutical and beverage formulation because they are stable, soluble, and highly metabolized in humans.  Green coffee is also high in naturally occurring caffeine.  In JAVA.g® caffeine and chlorogenic acids are standardized at a functional ratio that is simple to formulate with, clear in solution, and has a neutral flavor profile.

From cold-brews to lattés and teas, CoffeeNectar has had a lot of success in this space.

PurHP-75™ is a delicious high-purity hemp seed protein ingredient for use in meat alternatives, baked goods, and plant-based beverages.

Because we only use the white inner heart of the hemp seed, our hemp protein has a delicious flavor, texture, and exceptional functional properties for a smoother sensory experience across many applications. PurHP-75™ is the perfect ingredient for plant-based meats, baked goods, and non-dairy products. While its nutritional attributes in 75% protein, high mineral content, and all nine essential amino acids are attractive, its sensory and formulation qualities are what truly set this protein apart from other plant-based ingredients.

Hemp seed’s outer shell and thin casing contain most of the tannins and chlorophyll, contributing to green color, pungent odor, and bitter notes. By dehulling the shell and color sorting any residual fragments, we get to the pure inner part of the grain, appropriately called the “hemp heart.” This high purity hemp heart is what we use to make our PurHP-75™ hemp protein, and it makes a world of difference on the sensory experience.

Vitamin C is a naturally occurring compound in many fruits and vegetables. Yet, it might be a shock to learn that most vitamin C used for supplements and beverages is synthetically derived. Artificial vitamin C has become the industry norm, mostly because of the known challenges in extracting it from natural sources. For many of these ingredients, the extractable amounts of vitamin C in their raw form are neither potent enough, stable enough, nor soluble enough to be used as a commercially viable option in products. Applied Food Sciences addresses this by providing the industry with the incredible potency of PurC organic vitamin C extract. Available in two great sources, Amla Gooseberry and Acerola Cherry.

KEY BENEFITS
25% Vitamin C
Fully water-soluble – Perfect for Beverages!
Excellent flavor that is deliciously tart with a hint of sweetness
USDA certified organic or conventional options
Can also be used as an pH modifier/preservative

AmaTea®Max organic guayusa extract elevates brands to a whole new level of performance and functionality. Our patented process enhances the naturally occurring antioxidants and caffeine from guayusa for a nootropic focused energy with no increase in jitters compared to other forms of caffeine. So whether your brand is a supplement, food, or premium energy drink, you’ll get the most out of it with an energy ingredient, unlike any other caffeine. In addition, our organic guayusa is USDA certified organic, FDA “no questions” GRAS for safe use in food and beverages, and sustainably grown in the Amazon, supporting thousands of indigenous farming families.

After one hour of gameplay, active gamers using AmaTea®Max showed no increase in jitters. Comparatively, gamers on synthetic caffeine noted a statistically significant rise in jittery sensations[i]. AmaTea®Max is uniquely different from other forms of caffeine as it stimulates a significantly lower increase in our “fight or flight” hormone, epinephrine, better known as adrenaline.

Guayusa is technically very different than other teas in that it lacks a heavy tannin or bitter fraction that would typically cause the astringent, dry-chalky flavor profiles. Instead, guayusa provides a pleasant, almost sweet tea-like flavor.

Over the last five years, we worked to build a sustainable supply chain of responsibly and ethically sourced guayusa through co-ops and foundations across Ecuador and Peru. We work with independent farming families, not industrial plantations, protecting both the ecosystem and the cultures surrounding this botanical ingredient. Our farms are not mono-crop systems. Instead, guayusa is grown in ancient forest gardens known as “chakras” among trees and other vegetation utilizing patterns observed in nature. Farming in this method reduces the need to degrade or cut down the forest and creates a more diverse, productive, and ecologically sound land-use system.
