Line NutriorganiC

With the support of the authorities of the State of Guanajuato and other research-oriented agencies at the federal and state levels, the functional product NutriorganiC has been developed.

This product is a breakthrough for the current and future development of fortified and strengthened tortillas, developed in the State of Guanajuato, in an unprecedented effort to implement innovation in food production, as both its ingredients on its packaging and its life shelf.
Tortillas  NutriorganiC is the result of an intensive and continuous technical and clinical work, to offer to national and international market a pancake cactus and flaxseed-enriched, to position it in the functional food segment.

The objectives of NutriorganiC Tortilla  are:

WHAT IS A FUNCTIONAL FOOD?

At present there is a clear concern in our society about the possible relationship between the health staff and the food that is received. The health is preferably controllable through the food, so a remarquable preference for foods which are confirmed to have health benefits is detected in the food market..

Some scientific studies have shown that certain natural food ingredients provide benefits and are extremely useful for the prevention of diseases and even for therapeutic treatment, as in the case of the cactus and flaxseed.

Since the United States is one of the countries that have clear the goal of functional foods to prevent disease in the population, for example, it is easy to find cereal bars aimed to middle-aged women supplemented with calcium to prevent osteoporosis or protein soy to reduce the risk of breast cancer or with folic acid for a healthier heart. We also find energizing bagels and biscuits containing proteins, zinc and antioxidants.

Europe uses labels that indicate “added value”. Germany sells candy spiked with vitamin Q10 and vitamin E. In Italy the supermarkets offer yogurt with Omega 3 and vitamins and France offers sugar added with fructooligosaccharides to encourage the development of beneficial intestinal flora.

ADVANCES
Because of the high incidence of diabetes in the population of Mexico (at least 10.7%) with the evidence that cactus affects the control blood sugar and that flaxseed lowers high cholesterol and triglycerides,   TORTILLAS NutriorganiC is aimed at developing corn tortillas fortified with cactus and flaxseed, to count on a food diet high in fiber and calcium as well as benefits to control diabetes, cholesterol and triglycerides.

TORTILLAS  NutriorganiC have already the PTC patent for product development, patent for drafting the cactus flour, NOM protocol for corn-cactus tortillas and the brand TORTILLAS DE GUANAJUATO in Europe .

 The project has been accompanied by a market research to its marketing in the European Union, mainly in Spain and France.

Clinical analysis of the consumption of TORTILLAS NutriorganiC have been initiated at the University of Guanajuato in order to have the controlled clinical trial in patients to confirm the benefits of consuming this product.

This blend of cactus, inulin and flaxseed has been defined under the Fiberfull system.

By the result of clinical tests of product consumption and food science analysis TORTILLAS NutriorganiC are recommended by the CIPAIDIM  (Innovation Center for Prevention and Comprehensive Diabetes Mellitus).
