PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Product Code:		OXYFOS
Raw Material:		Kidney and/or Pinto Beans (No additives or 
			artificial ingredients)
Manufacturing Method:	Beans are thoroughly washed. The beans are cooked 
			in purified water to obtain an extract. The extract 
			is carefully concentrated and dried. The extract is 
			then purified & ground into a powder. 
Usage Levels:		Typical usage levels are from 2% to 15% in foods
			and up to 100% in tablets and capsules used as 
			nutritional supplements.
Applications	:	OXYFOS contains a 100% natural antioxidant
			(kaempferol) that can be used to prevent oxidative 
			rancidity in ramen noodles, high fat snacks and foods. 
			Kaempferol also has a strong free-radical scavenging
			effect in the human body, helping to prevent cell
			degradation caused by lipid peroxidation. OXYFOS is 
			also a very rich source of natural
			fructooligosaccharides (FOS) that help promote the
			growth of healthy & beneficial intestinal flora 
			(bifidobacteria). Natural OXYFOS's rich natural 
			amino acid balance (including glutamic acid) provides
			the benefits of a natural HVP replacement and flavor 
			potentiator. 

Natural OXYFOS powder can be used to prepare various kinds of healthy foods, 
noodles, baked goods & food supplements.
