Food & Feed Ingredients

We supply natural ingredients with healthy active properties for the food and animal feed industry.

Our plant-based ingredients can also be integrated into formulae for food supplements, health capsules, pharma and nutraceutical products.

Smoking Chips for Food Flavoring

Nowadays it is becoming more and more important for manufacturers, distributors or wholesalers in the food industry to use natural, sustainable ingredients for flavoring purposes.
BioPowder.com has developed a new product line of aromatic chips for smoking and flavouring, all made from renewable resources without any synthetic additives.

Food and Animal Nutrition

Bio-powders are sought after by foodstuff manufacturers as they can be used to boost the energy content of performance foods/feeds and of easily digestible fibre. This is because they are rich in sugars (carbohydrates) and cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose (fibres).

In particular, olive stone powder can be easily combined with grains, vegetables, and any other conventional additives – for tasty and healthy formulations. In fine micron sizes, natural powders are also effective texturizers for solid, viscous and semi-liquid foods.

Their relatively neutral taste makes fruit stone powders suitableas

as additives for baking mixes/doughs
as caloric bases, fillers or carriers for flavours, aromas or colourants
as extenders, adulterants or texturizers for spice blends: solid condiments often contain sugars, silica or grain flours for this purpose. Our mission is to provide optimized solutions with enhanced nutritional and flavouring properties.
as stabilizers and thickeners, e.g. in meat products or meat replacement foods
as viscosity-enhancing ingredients, i.e. in water-soluble powder foods

In contrast to many conventional flours, fruit stone powders are free of wheat protein (no gluten content) and therefore suitable as anti-allergic ingredients. Besides, they are fully plant-based and therefore qualify as vegetarian and vegan.

Natural Thickening Agent and Texturizer

BioPowder.com olive stone flour is a plant-based, vegan thickening agent for food, well suited for baking and cooking.
In addition to its health benefits, it has excellent thickening properties, and the neutral taste and light color make it applicable for numerous recipes.

Pharmaceuticals and Dietary Supplements

Apart from being functional fillers in capsules or pills, certain fruit stones contain substances that are proven APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), sometimes also referred to as natural actives.

Olive stones, argan shells, apricot kernels and avocado stones are proven active substances due to their high content of bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties. These include polyunsaturated fatty acids, polyphenolics (bio-phenols) as well as vitamins and amino acids / plant-based proteins.
