Rexiva®Amino acids for nutrition applications

Nutrition & Care at EvonikEnsuring a supply of healthy, nutritious and varied food for a growing and diverse world population is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. Finding new and better ways to meet it is what the global health and nutrition megatrend is about – and it is core to Evonik. Scarcer land resources for farming impact the issue of suffi cient food quantity. Rising life expectancy creates new nutritional requirements for food products destined to the elderly. And the growing importance of leading a healthy lifestyle combined with a balanced diet is driving demand for foods that contribute to better health and wellbeing.

At the same time, rising demand for better food at a lower cost is enticing as some producers to cut corners, entailing health risks that led to the global scandals that have made the head-lines in recent years. Consumers demand that top food quality also means absolute food safety. In developed countries, in par-ticular, changing dietary habits have led to pathologies, from allergies to diabetes to obesity, that place new demands on

processors and manufacturers for providing health-enhancing foods. As their understanding of nutrition increases, consumers want their foods to meet targeted requirements and deliver specifi c nutrients.

Food manufacturers around the world are facing new and complex challenges that are forcing a rethink of their products and processes in terms of both delivering what customers want and keeping costs under control – while meeting ever-tougher health, quality and sustainability standards. At the same time, evolving lifestyles are creating new market oppor-tunities for foods that still have to be invented.

As the premier supplier of amino acids and their derivatives, Evonik has over the past fi ve decades evolved into the food industry’s preferred partner for realizing the potential in creating better, healthier foods to meet the demands of a global, growing, and increasingly diverse and demanding consumer base.

Meeting your nutritional challenges.

Health & NutritionThe basic human need for food has become a concern in ways that previous generations would never have imagined. Our solutions help produce the healthy, nutritious components of a balanced diet – with peace of mind for today and tomorrow.

More than food supplements, value supplements.

Dietary Supplements

Food supplementation allows to meet specifi c nutritional needs of diff erent categories of people. In this area, the applications of amino acids and related products are very diverse, e.g.:

• Supplements to prevent denutrition or sarkopenia• Enhancement of cognitive performances and

prevention of fatigue• Improvement of memory• Ammonia detoxifi cation of the body

Infant Nutrition

Where standard cow’s milk or soy-based infant formula fall short, amino-acid-enriched formulas consistently prove eff ec-tive in adressing specifi c newborn needs or concerns. This includes:

• Specifi c formulations for babies with food allergies, such as lactose intolerance

• Aliments for premature babies to support growth and the development of the immune system


What Evonik brings to the table: over six decades of experience in addressing the evolving needs for better quality, performance and value in nutritional products with amino acids and related compounds.

Sport Nutrition

Sport practice is nowadays part of a healthy life style. Our products address the requirements of active people as well as professionals, athletes:

• Stimulation of protein synthesis and muscle growth• Improvement of regeneration a� er training• Improvement of athletic performance• Ammonia detoxifi cation of the body• Reduction of muscle fatigue

Flavors

Amino acids can give fl avor to food products on their own, but mainly by reaction with other food components during cooking.Amino acids manufactured by fermentation are adapted to the production of natural aromas and fl avors:

• Flavor enhancer for beefy or sweet taste• Ingredients for the synthesis of aromas

More than a promise of qualityAt the core of the REXIVA® brand is a unique combination of chemistry, biotechnology, and purifi cation technology. It enables us not only to adapt amino acids to the requirements of the food industry as a whole, but also to the specifi c food formulation needs of our customers. Add to this a level of

backward integration in our sourcing, manufacturing and logis-tics that ensures unrivalled supply security. You can also count on the fact that the toughest quality and regulatory standards are met every step of the way.

AMINO ACIDS Do you need amino acids in top quality? Ask the expert!

Amino acids are building blocks for life, constituents of pro-teins. As such, they are involved in most of the biochemical processes within the body. Amino acid supplementation in foods may help active people to improve their physical

condition. It can also alleviate the eff ects of specifi c allergies or gastro-intestinal disorders, for instance, enabling those affl icted to lead a normal life.


SPECIALTIES FOR NUTRITION APPLICATIONSAre you looking for specific ingredients for your nutrition application? We have the solution!

Besides single L-amino acids, we can off er several specifi c ingredients for taking your formulation to where you want it.

Amino acids salts:Amino acid salts combine two aspects together. At least one of the components is an amino acid. The other could be as well an amino acid as another component such as HCl.

Keto acids:Keto acids can be converted into the corresponding amino acids by binding the ammonia produced during protein decom-position within the body.

These amino acids can then be used for protein synthesis or as energy providers without increasing the level of free ammonia.

Therefore, keto acids stimulate the ammonia detoxifi cation of the body, and they enhance muscle by preventing muscle damage from intensive training (anti-catabolic eff ect).

As one of the larger manufacturers of keto acids, Evonik off ers a wide range of products at high purity level.

Peptides:In some cases, where stability and solubility are especially sensitive, dipeptides may prove the better alternative to single amino acids. Evonik has extensive experience in manufac turing di- and tripeptides at large volumes from kilos to multiple tons.

REGULATORY Evonik’s solutions for food manufacturers come with extensive experience in amino acid manufacturing and processing – and in the highest quality grades required by the nutrition industry:

■ Non-GMO, non-animal origin■ HACCP compliant quality system■ ISO 9001, 14001, 22000 certifi ed plants and facilities■ Full control of all quality parameters

(purity, microbiology, heavy metals, etc.)■ Analytical methods in compliance with USP, FCC,

Codex Alimentarius■ Kosher and halal certifi cation■ FDA and ANSM approval■ Statements on allergens, residual solvents and

BSE/TSE are available


As good, healthy and nutritious food ingredients may be, the finished product must be safe. Absolutely safe. And that means processes that leave no room for doubt. Evonik under-stands that commitment to safety is a promise that your pro ducts must keep over and over again. That’s why we take it so much to heart.
