NUTRACEUTICALS AND SPORT SNACKS

There is a growing trend in the research and manufacturing of nutraceuticals (the name comes from nutrition and pharmaceutical) sports snacks and supplements.

In many countries, these products are regulated (FDA in the United States) and we can provide high-quality solutions for labeling, packaging, formulation, storage, quality control.

VELP solutions will help for:

Protein determination
Fat extraction
Dietary fiber determination
Oxidation stability studies on raw materials and finished products
Packaging and formulation studies

Application notes

Choose among a comprehensive library of Application Notes / White Papers and learn more on how to optimize the performance of your VELP instruments. These documents offer typical analyses of well-known samples, together with official references and suggestions, to make you an expert!
