Vitafoods Europe 2015, booth K99: UL (Underwriters Laboratories) will present Prospector®, the world’s most comprehensive food and beverage ingredients database.

 Overland Park (Kansas / USA), March 2015: Visitors to the Prospector® booth at Vitafoods Europe will see first hand how the innovative search engine can speed up their R&D processes significantly. The comprehensive global database covers ingredients for all kinds of health food products and dietary supplements.

 

Containing details of more than 11,000 Functional Food and Nutrition ingredients from hundreds of suppliers, Prospector® is incredibly easy, quick – and free – for manufacturers to use. Aimed at speeding up the search for ingredients and hence accelerating the R&D process, the database is kept up to date by UL’s experts, so that users can be sure that information is always current.

Jill Frank, Certified Food Scientist and Food Industry Expert at UL, says: “Our database covers a huge variety of functional ingredients for versatile applications and positionings. Therefore Vitafoods, as the key nutraceutical event, is the perfect platform for us to demonstrate the added value that Prospector® offers to R&D professionals. The ingredients that we list are largely backed up by comprehensive additional details, which makes it easier to find the right ingredients when aiming for specific positionings and claims.”

Personnel from UL will be on hand throughout the Vitafoods exhibition to demonstrate the unique capabilities of Prospector®.
