Kaneka
Nutrients L.P. and P. L. Thomas (PLT), Morristown, New Jersey
announced that PLT will represent
Kaneka Q10™ natural Coenzyme
Q10, to the food and beverage industries, exclusively covering
the United States east of the Mississippi. PLT and Kaneka will
actively assist functional food and beverage companies in
incorporating this unique ingredient into products.
CoQ10 supports
energy production in cells and enhances overall health. It is
also a powerful antioxidant protecting against free radicals.
The Japanese food and beverage industries have embraced the
inclusion of Kaneka Q10™ in their products, and the benefits of
this success will be contributed to the new product development
efforts of Kaneka’s clients.
KanekaQ10™,
manufactured in
Pasadena,
Texas,
is the first and only US production facility for CoQ10.
At this facility, as well as the Takasago, Japan location,
international food and pharmaceutical
GMP’s are strictly followed. KanekaQ10™ is the worlds only
yeast fermented CoQ10 and is of the highest purity. KanekaQ10™
is currently the world’s only self-affirmed GRAS CoQ10
for use in foods.
Thomas H. Schrier, National Sales Manager of Kaneka said:
“Kaneka is excited about working with PLT, and Kaneka will
certainly benefit by leveraging PLT’s long-term relationships
with food and beverage companies. PLT has an excellent
technical and marketing staff, which will be crucial in
launching Q10 into the food industry.”
Paul Flowerman, president of PLT comments: “Kaneka is known for
its commitment to science, reliability and quality. Being in a
position to offer Kaneka Q10™ to our customers is exciting, and
