Visitors to the Prospector — the world’s most comprehensive food and beverage ingredients database — booth at Vitafoods Europe (Stand K99) will see first hand how the innovative search engine from UL (Underwriters Laboratories) can significantly speed up their R&D processes.
The comprehensive global database covers ingredients for all kinds of health food products and dietary supplements.
Containing details of more than 11,000 functional food and nutrition ingredients from hundreds of suppliers, Prospector is incredibly easy, quick — and free — for manufacturers to use.
Aimed at speeding up the search for ingredients and hence accelerating the R&D process, the database is kept up to date by UL’s experts, so that users can be sure that information is always current.
Jill Frank, Certified Food Scientist and Food Industry Expert at UL, says: 'Our database covers a huge variety of functional ingredients for versatile applications and positionings. Therefore Vitafoods, as a key nutraceutical event, is the perfect platform for us to demonstrate the added value that Prospector offers to R&D professionals.'
'The ingredients that we list are largely supported by comprehensive reference material, which makes it easier to find the right ingredients for their application,' she added.
Personnel from UL will be on hand throughout the exhibition to demonstrate the unique capabilities of Prospector (www.ULprospector.com).
