A strong antioxidant defense* Apple peels are naturally rich in antioxidants. In fact, a study comparing the nutritional content of apple flesh and apple peel showed that the peels contained up to 6 times as many polyphenols and flavonoids (including quercetin) as the flesh.1 The high level of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in apple peels work together to: • Promote healthy aging* • Quench free radical activity* • Protect the body against oxidative stress* • Support the inflammation response system*2 Fortifying fiber benefits AppleActiv is more than 50% fiber. Add it to food and beverage product formulations and appeal to the growing ranks of consumers actively seeking to add more fiber to their diets. AppleActiv DAPP is 15% pectin soluble fiber, which is known as a prebiotic and a support to detoxification. Clean label Today, what a product doesn’t contain is as important to consumers as what it does contain. When you add AppleActiv DAPP, you provide consumers with an ingredient that contains NO: • Synthetic vitamins • Gluten • Chemical preservatives • Dairy • Genetically modified organisms • Additives (GMOs) • Dyes Easy on formulators Polyphenol ingredients are often bitter and formulators are forced to use additional flavors to mask that bitterness. AppleActiv DAPP is a mildly sweet-tasting powder and does not require additional masking agents. Broad range of product applications AppleActiv DAPP is a dry, fruity-smelling powder with a mildly sweet, smooth taste. This very fine powder is GRAS and works well in: • Nutrition bars • Yogurt • Cereal • Desserts • Marinades • Smoothies • Green high fiber drinks Fully controlled manufacturing AppleActiv DAPP maintains control over all manufacturing and quality assurance processes to make certain AppleActiv DAPP retains its nutritional vitality. We’re committed to: • Expedited processing. Peels are quickly processed after being removed from the apples to minimize pre-processing oxidation and the loss of phytochemicals. • Gentle low-heat drying. We air dry our product at low temperatures with no inputs. Studies have shown foods dried using low heat methods retain more of their vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. • GMP certification. AppleActiv DAPP is produced in a GMP-certified facility.
