To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of vitamins, at SupplySide West, BASF hosted three educational sessions and showcased a range of innovative product prototypes. “This was the perfect opportunity to reflect on the tremendous advances in nutrition research and, more importantly, to exchange ideas on how we can apply this knowledge to create even better health-enhancing products in the future,” said Samy Jandali, BASF vice president, Nutrition & Health.  BASF sampled chewy gummies, a fruit beverage, a slushy and whole-grain crackers all made with its Vegapure brand of plant sterols.  Another noteworthy example offered was a ready-to-drink “body toning” beverage, made with BASF’s Tonalin Conjugated Linoleic Acid. – BASF Nutrition & Health, BASF Corp., www.newtrition.basf.com
