Afyren to provide bio-based acids to leading US nutraceutical company

Published: 29-Aug-2024

The company will provide its low-carbon acids, which are sourced from a natural fermentation process, to an unnamed nutraceutical industry player

Afyren has signed a contract was a US nutraceutical ingredients manufacturer. 

The technology company, which specialises in providing low-carbon ingredients to manufacturers, will provide its bio-based acids to the client.

These will be used as both preservatives and flavours within dietary supplements. 

The client, who is a well-known company in the nutraceutical industry, was looking for alternatives to petrol-based solutions, which are often used in standard dietary supplement manufacturing procedures. 

Afyren uses natural fermentation process with non-food feedstock, which allows the company to trace the origin of the acids supplied, which — according to the company — was a significant factor in the nutraceutical company’s decision to partner with Afyren. 

Although the contract is currently based on limited volumes, Afyren believes that it will likely evolve towards more significant quantities. 

“Afyren and our client share the same mindset and ambition to provide quality and sustainable solutions, based on traceable value chains. This new contract shows are capacity to address more specific markets with a value proposition that isn’t currently met by existing solutions.”
