With early ties to Rutgets University, Nutrasorb LLC develops and markets a broad range of functionally-enhanced, high-quality ingredients with naturally concentrated, stabilized, and bioavailable phytoactives from fruits and vegetables. The firmâs products provide an effective and natural method for concentrating beneficial compounds from fruits and vegetables in a healthy protein, while reducing potentially unhealthy compounds, such as sugars. The Nutrasorb technology and ingredients were developed through a long-term collaboration between scientists from Rutgers and North Carolina State Universities. The firm offers a variety of phyto-powered ingredients with broad applications in food, dietary supplement and cosmetic products. They naturally and efficiently co-deliver proteins and concentrated beneficial phytoactives, such as antioxidant polyphenols, from fruits and vegetables. Recent laboratory and clinical data suggest that polyphenol-fortified protein can improve energy and carbohydrate metabolism. Proteins and phytoactives, such as polyphenols, are essential components of a healthy diet. Unfortunately, they rarely coexist in fruits, vegetables and other plant foods. Nutrasorb technology naturally brings together healthy proteins and plant phytoactives and catalyzes the formation of a stable three-dimensional complex between them. This complex effectively amplifies health-promoting effects of phytoactives on the human body and combines them with nutritional benefits of high-quality dietary protein. The amplification is likely based on increased stability and bioavailability of phytoactives complexed with prote
