Functional ingredients manufacturer AIDP has signed an exclusive license and distribution agreement with agrotechnology company Anagenix to market its kiwifruit-based ingredients, Actazin® and Livaux®. Anagenix is a New Zealand-based company specializing in the discovery of natural bioactives. Actazin® is a cold-pressed powdered kiwi fruit concentrate that is a natural source of prebiotics, fiber, enzymes and polyphenols and may support bowel function.
According to the company, the kiwi-unique enzyme actinadin found in Actazin® assists the protein digestion and helps avoid the “overfull” feeling after a protein-rich meal. It is made from Non-GMO Project verified green kiwifruit, sourced in New Zealand. The locally sourced kiwifruit are processed using proprietary technology to ensure retention of the key nutrients and bioactives. Actazin® is gluten-free, free of preservatives and added sugar, and is ideal for green food blends and digestive health formulas.
