SAN ANSELMO, Calif.—In July 2009, Ethical Naturals Inc. (ENI) completed the PCT and U.S. patent application filing process for their ORAC-15,000™ natural antioxidant from grapes. They have now completed filing applications for the use of this antioxidant extraction technology for the production of high-ORAC extracts from other fruit sources.
This technology has now been applied to the production of a new Standardized Fruit Blend (SFB™), extracted from a wide variety of fruit sources: apple, bilberry, blueberry, chokeberry, cranberry, goji berry, grape, mangosteen and pomegranate. This new ingredient is standardized both for ORAC value (7,500 Units/g), and for polyphenols (40 percent).
