Pharmactive Biotech Products is introducing Aged Black Garlic+ (ABG+) as a science-backed ingredient that adds benefits to functional gummies. Aged black garlic is an ingredient that is revered as a culinary delicacy, a component of the Asian diet and a tool for maintaining health. Using the company's proprietary ABG Cool-Tech aging technique, ABG+ adds benefits to functional products; ABG+ has EFSA-pending claims for cardiovascular health, cholesterol, immunology, and antioxidant properties.
Daniel Gonzalez-Hedström, Ph.D., Senior Scientific Researcher for Pharmactive, says "Aged black garlic develops a distinctive sweet flavor during aging, while losing its typical garlic flavor and aroma due to allicin degradation." The result is an ingredient that can easily be included in a variety of formulations with a sweet, "social" and odor-free flavor.
