Botanical extracts for jet lag symptoms
Especially created for people battling symptoms caused by circadian dysrhythmia, a range of ingredients is offered by Frutarom that helps to balance the body’s inner clock. A confused circadian rhythm causes stress symptoms including daytime fatigue, exhaustion, disturbed sleep, digestive disorders and decreased mental and physical performance. This is especially obstructive because people – particularly business travellers – often have to be at their peak after a long flight. Frutarom’s “Jet Lag Campaign” is aimed at manufacturers of nutraceuticals and functional foods who want to create products for these target groups. The campaign includes extracts of blackcurrant, schisandra, fenugreek, wild green oat, lemon balm and red vine leaf. Each of these targets specific jet lag symptoms, such as concentration difficulties, stress management, sleep disorders, digestion problems, tired eyes and heavy legs. Depending on the individual product concept, the extracts can be used alone or in combination.

Delvotest T
DSM Food Specialties’ Delvotest T was chosen by QLIP, Dutch partner in quality assurance in the agrofood chain, as the national reference test to detect antibiotic residues in milk. The broad spectrum test was selected because of its high sensitivity and reliability. The test is fully compliant with Dutch dairy regulations, promoting a high quality milk supply throughout the whole dairy chain, from farmer to dairy to consumer. QLIP is commissioned by Dutch dairy companies to determine the composition and quality of farm milk samples. The analyses they perform meet the specific requirements of the official Dutch dairy regulations and detect the most relevant residues at or below the European Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs). Delvotest T is a broad spectrum test which identifies a variety of antibiotics at or below EU MRLs with higher sensitivity for tetracyclines than any other microbiological screening test. QLIP selected Delvotest T because the test is closest to the aimed detection level and because of its robust performance and consistent results. In the Netherlands, there is a successful programme in place to reduce the usage of antibiotics in general. A test like Delvotest T is an important tool to safeguard the suitability of milk that forms the basis for the broad range of Dutch dairy products.
