2 Nutrition & Care at Evonik Ensuring a supply of healthy, nutritious and varied food for a growing and diverse world population is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. Finding new and better ways to meet it is what the global health and nutrition megatrend is about and it is core to Evonik. Scarcer land resources for farming impact the issue of sufficient food quantity. Rising life expectancy creates new nutritional requirements for food products destined to the elderly. And the growing importance of leading a healthy lifestyle combined with a balanced diet is driving demand for foods that contribute to better health and wellbeing. At the same time, rising demand for better food at a lower cost is enticing as some producers to cut corners, entailing health risks that led to the global scandals that have made the headlines in recent years. Consumers demand that top food quality also means absolute food safety. In developed countries, in particular, changing dietary habits have led to pathologies, from allergies to diabetes to obesity, that place new demands on processors and manufacturers for providing health-enhancing foods. As their understanding of nutrition increases, consumers want their foods to meet targeted requirements and deliver specific nutrients. Food manufacturers around the world are facing new and complex challenges that are forcing a rethink of their products and processes in terms of both delivering what customers want and keeping costs under control while meeting evertougher health, quality and sustainability standards. At the same time, evolving lifestyles are creating new market opportunities for foods that still have to be invented. As the premier supplier of amino acids and their derivatives, Evonik has over the past five decades evolved into the food industry s preferred partner for realizing the potential in creating better, healthier foods to meet the demands of a global, growing, and increasingly diverse and demanding consumer base. Meeting your nutritional challenges. L+L vnd Broschuere Rexiva, A4.indd 31. Aug 2018; 11:4 Uhr

4 More than food supplements, value supplements. Dietary Supplements Infant Nutrition Food supplementation allows to meet specific nutritional needs of different categories of people. In this area, the applications of amino acids and related products are very diverse, e.g.: Where standard cow s milk or soy-based infant formula fall short, amino-acid-enriched formulas consistently prove effective in adressing specific newborn needs or concerns. This includes: Supplements to prevent denutrition or sarkopenia Enhancement of cognitive performances and prevention of fatigue Improvement of memory Ammonia detoxification of the body Specific formulations for babies with food allergies, such as lactose intolerance Aliments for premature babies to support growth and the development of the immune system L+L vnd Broschuere Rexiva, A4.indd 31.

5 What Evonik brings to the table: over six decades of experience in addressing the evolving needs for better quality, performance and value in nutritional products with amino acids and related compounds. Sport Nutrition Flavors Sport practice is nowadays part of a healthy life style. Our products address the requirements of active people as well as professionals, athletes: Stimulation of protein synthesis and muscle growth Improvement of regeneration after training Improvement of athletic performance Ammonia detoxification of the body Reduction of muscle fatigue Amino acids can give flavor to food products on their own, but mainly by reaction with other food components during cooking. Amino acids manufactured by fermentation are adapted to the production of natural aromas and flavors: Flavor enhancer for beefy or sweet taste Ingredients for the synthesis of aromas

6 More than a promise of quality At the core of the REXIVA brand is a unique combination of chemistry, biotechnology, and purification technology. It enables us not only to adapt amino acids to the requirements of the food industry as a whole, but also to the specific food formulation needs of our customers. Add to this a level of backward integration in our sourcing, manufacturing and logistics that ensures unrivalled supply security. You can also count on the fact that the toughest quality and regulatory standards are met every step of the way. AMINO ACIDS Do you need amino acids in top quality? Ask the expert! Amino acids are building blocks for life, constituents of proteins. As such, they are involved in most of the biochemical processes within the body. Amino acid supplementation in foods may help active people to improve their physical condition. It can also alleviate the effects of specific allergies or gastro-intestinal disorders, for instance, enabling those afflicted to lead a normal life. L+L vnd Broschuere Rexiva, A4.indd 31.

7 SPECIALTIES FOR NUTRITION APPLICATIONS Are you looking for specific ingredients for your nutrition application? We have the solution! Besides single L-amino acids, we can offer several specific ingredients for taking your formulation to where you want it. Amino acids salts: Amino acid salts combine two aspects together. At least one of the components is an amino acid. The other could be as well an amino acid as another component such as HCl. Keto acids: Keto acids can be converted into the corresponding amino acids by binding the ammonia produced during protein decomposition within the body. These amino acids can then be used for protein synthesis or as energy providers without increasing the level of free ammonia. Therefore, keto acids stimulate the ammonia detoxification of the body, and they enhance muscle by preventing muscle damage from intensive training (anti-catabolic effect). As one of the larger manufacturers of keto acids, Evonik offers a wide range of products at high purity level. Peptides: In some cases, where stability and solubility are especially sensitive, dipeptides may prove the better alternative to single amino acids. Evonik has extensive experience in manufac turing di- and tripeptides at large volumes from kilos to multiple tons.
