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.

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

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.
