The demand for safe & contamination free food, food additives is on exponential growth. One of the important factors, which many times “a missing item” in the food chain is the quality of ingredients which imparts functionality to the product. In the past, quality was just a measure of purity. However, recent meaning of quality goes much beyond this definition by looking at profile of the impurities present, its oirgin - natural/nature identical/synthetic, extent of bioavailability/bioactivity, sustained/target release, side effects/reactions etc. Not only regulatory restrictions but also consumer awareness has driven redefinition of the role and specification of food, food addtives and nutraceuticals and in turn that of functional ingredients which makes them up. This sharp focus on quality of ingredients has put the process by which they are made under severe scrutiny. Instead of random chemical reactions that were employed earlier to make food ingredients, scientists are coming out with purified natural extracts, synthetic but nature identical molecules, green chemistry pathways, zero waste techniques, multi-layered coating for various types of site specific delivery, bio-technological processes which offers highest order of specificity and nano technologies to name a few. ChemLife Innovations is present in the thick of these exciting developments contributing its thoughts, concepts, prototypes, working models and products with an objective of maximum utilization of natural resources which are normally classfied as byproducts or low value items and transform them into higehr value food ingredients either as alternatives, additives or nutraceuticals.
