ナガセヴィータ List of Products and Services

We would like to introduce the potential of our water-soluble dietary fiber material "Fiberlixa," handled by Nagase Vita, for products aimed at the elderly. As we move forward into an aging society, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is promoting the prevention of nursing care and securing nursing personnel. To achieve these goals, the challenges are how individuals can age healthily and how to reduce the burden on caregivers. Isomaltodextrin contributes to solving the issues of an aging society. 【Common Issues】 ■ Aspiration ■ Constipation ■ High blood sugar ■ Dry skin ■ Odor from stools *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

"Trehalose" is a multifunctional carbohydrate (main component: trehalose) produced by acting enzymes on starches such as corn. It has a low sweetness with a clean taste, is non-reducing, difficult to color, and has high heat and acid resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of food applications. Additionally, it excels in maintaining and improving the physical properties of food, such as suppressing starch aging, inhibiting protein denaturation, enhancing freeze resistance, and preventing discoloration, thereby contributing to improved deliciousness. 【Functional Characteristics】 ■ Moisture retention ■ Suppression of lipid deterioration ■ Flavor improvement during heating and processing ■ Glass transition function ■ Flavor and odor correction effects, etc. *For more details, please contact us.

"Ascofresh" is a stable form of vitamin C created by binding glucose to ascorbic acid using Nagase Vita's enzyme technology. It is resistant to oxidation and decomposition caused by heat, light, oxygen, as well as amino acids and iron, allowing for collaboration with materials that were difficult to combine with conventional vitamin C. Upon ingestion, it undergoes hydrolysis by digestive enzymes in the small intestine, converting into vitamin C, which is then absorbed into the body and exerts its effects as vitamin C. 【Characteristics】 ■ Coloration of aqueous solution: It has high stability in aqueous solutions in the weakly acidic to neutral range, resulting in extremely low coloration due to heating. ■ Stability in the presence of metal ions: It is extremely stable under oxidative conditions with the presence of metal ions. ■ Stability in the presence of amino acids: It shows high stability and low coloration even in the presence of amino acids. ■ Long-term storage stability of aqueous solution: Aqueous solutions (weakly acidic to neutral) demonstrate higher stability compared to conventional vitamin C even after long-term storage, and exhibit similar stability to vitamin C in strongly acidic conditions. … and more *For more details, please contact us.

"Lactose Oligo" is an oligosaccharide primarily composed of the indigestible carbohydrate lactosucrose. It is made from lactose and sugar, and has a taste profile similar to sugar. It is available in a wide range of forms, from liquid to powder. Development of standard specification type foods for specified health use is also possible. 【Characteristics】 ■ Sweetness and Flavor: Made from lactose and sugar, it has a refined sweetness without any peculiar aftertaste. ■ Viscosity: The viscosity is slightly higher than that of sugar and lower than that of enzyme syrup. When used as a substitute for these, the viscosity of the food remains almost unchanged, demonstrating excellent processing suitability. ■ Heat and Acid Resistance: Both heat and acid resistance are comparable to that of sugar. *For more details, please contact us.
