(also known as West Indian, Mexican or Key Lime). Lime HV is 100 percent natural
and FTNF. A highly volatile fraction, it provides intense, well-balanced lime
notes at low-dosage rates less than 1 ppm in finished product. It can also be
used with other citrus creations such as lemon. In addition to Lime HV, Treatt
also offers Lemon HV. Applications of Lemon HV and Lime HV span the full range

B-carotene formulations: Scientists from DSM
Nutritional Products have identified how the carotenoid b-carotene can help
reduce photoaging (skin damage from exposure to sunlight). In a new article,
they demonstrate that b-carotene can inhibit UVA-induced matrix metalloprotease
1 and 10 expression in human skin keratinocytes by a singlet oxygen-dependent
mechanism. DSM Nutritional Products offers a wide range of b-carotene formulations.
The oily suspension Beta-carotene 30 percent FS and the Beta-carotene 10 percent
CWS powder are the two main formulations for foods. —DSM Nutritional Products
