Glanbia Nutritionals launches OptiATP for energy, sports beverage categories

Ready-to-drink stable and low-dose Adenosine 5-Triphosphate (ATP) to be offered in North America

Glanbia Nutritionals, Chicago, introduced OptiATP, a new optimized form of Adenosine 5-Triphosphate that is stable in low pH/high acid and high heat ready-to-drink beverage processing environments.

Glanbia has incorporated partner TSI Group’s industry-leading ingredient PeakATP as its source of ATP and, through its patented encapsulation technology, has made ATP 46% more stable after 12 months and 59% more stable after six months in aseptic hot-fill processed ready-to-drink beverages, based on a Glanbia Nutritionals study.

“We are excited to bring OptiATP to market because it provides the first reliable ATP for use in ready-to-drink beverages,” said Rachel Schreck, product marketing associate at Glanbia Nutritionals in a statement. OptiATP will initially be offered in North America. “Until now, formulating beverages containing ATP has been a challenge because standard sources of ATP degrade rapidly under typical high-heat beverage processing conditions and over the shelf-life of the finished beverage.”
