About

Company description

Newtra Food developed high added-value powder ingredients rich in fiber, polyphenols and natural antioxidants, thanks to the valorization of vegetable by-products recognized for their nutraceutical properties. 
Currenty we are focused on artichokes, broccoli, asparagus and tomatoes by-products (peels, leaves etc).
Our ingredients can be used as raw materials for the nutraceutical and food industry thanks to their ability to improve the nutritional, nutraceutical and organoleptic profile of foods.

Our technology stands out for its ability to fully preserve the phytocomplex of the vegetable, thanks to non-invasive and non-thermal processes, guaranteeing an output with the maximum content of bioactive compounds, high quality of macro and micronutrients and an intense aroma. 

On the contrary, the competitors’ technologies always include an initial thermal drying phase in order to stabilize the vegetable before grinding. 
However, these traditional methods determine a significant loss of thermolabile bioactive compounds, reducing the nutritional, nutraceutical and aromatic properties of the product.

Our business model is based on B2B sale of sustainable high added-value ingredients to food and nutraceutical companies.
We collect by-products from local farming and processing companies that discard stems, leaves, bracts and peels of artichokes, broccoli, asparagus and tomatoes.
The farming companies collaborating with us are certified and carry out checks and traceability on the products. We source from companies based within maximum 150km to minimize both the environmental and economic impact of logistics and to shorten delivery times.
Our current targets are food companies producing pasta, gnocchi, baked goods, flours, snacks, herbal teas and vegan products. 
We help them:
- enhance the nutritional, nutraceutical and organoleptic profile of their final products
- extend the shelf life and promote a cleaner label, reducing or eliminating additives, preservatives and flavorings that consumers tend to frown upon
- increase their shares in market niches developing products with healthy claims
