Actazin® Puree
for Functional Foods
Create functional beverages and foods that start with the whole fruit, not isolates. Actazin® green kiwifruit puree delivers clinically proven digestive benefits, cleanlabel nutrition and a vivid kiwi flavour in a formulationready format.
Nutraceutical Products
120+ nutraceutical products globally using Actazin® for digestive health– now available as a functional puree optimised for smoothies, shots, and novel format formulations.
Over a Decade of Research
Clinically substantiated digestive and proteindigestion benefits from over a decade of research; 5 g Actazin® puree delivers the same functional benefits as 600 mg Actazin® powder
New Zealand–Grown
New Zealand–grown whole kiwifruit, gently coldprocessed to retain actinidin, fibre, polyphenols and key micronutrients.
Whole fruit. Whole food. Wholebody support
- Whole fruit: Actazin® starts with whole New Zealand green kiwifruit, capturing fibre, vitamin C, folate, potassium, polyphenols and the proteolytic enzyme actinidin in their natural matrix.
- Whole food: minimally processed puree and powders keep the ingredient recognisable as food, supporting cleanlabel declarations and consumer trust.
- Wholebody support: clinically validated benefits include improved bowel regularity and better digestive comfort with nutrientabsorption support.
Effective dosage: from 600 mg powder to 5 g puree
Clinically validated powder dose: 600 mg Actazin® green kiwifruit powder per day supports normal bowel function by promoting bowel regularity, based on a notified FSANZ health claim.
Puree equivalence: 5 g Actazin® puree delivers the same functional level of actinidin and fibre as 600 mg Actazin® powder, giving formulators a simple dosing target per serve.
Actazin® puree: standardised to actinidin activity and fibre content so you can achieve the equivalent of the 600 mg powder dose in a defined gramsperserve puree addition (e.g. per 100 ml shot or 250 ml beverage)
Why puree? Formulation benefits for beverages
- Better solubility and texture: Actazin® puree disperses smoothly and evenly in liquids, reducing sediment and delivering a clean, easytodrink mouthfeel in RTDs and shots.
- Stronger flavour, natural colour: the puree brings a fresh greenkiwifruit topnote and gentle tartness that pair naturally with citrus, berries, tropical fruits and tea, with a soft natural hue that signals “real fruit”.
- Ideal for shot formats: the higher solids and viscosity of puree make it especially suited to 60–100 ml functional shots, where consumers expect an intense, “fresh-squeezed fruit” experience.
- Versatile matrices: compatible with juice, plant milks, smoothie bases, nondairy yoghurt drinks and even kombuchastyle fermented beverages in the pH 3.0–4.5 range.
NZ kiwifruit have the highest bioactivity levels vs other kiwifruit globally
Nutritional content of New Zealand Kiwifruit Compared To Other Global Variants
- Upcycled 'ugly' fruit: we prioritise cosmetically imperfect fruit that might otherwise go to waste, supporting more sustainable, circular supply chains.
- Coldchain processing: gentle, lowtemperature processes (Target BioLock–derived for powders and equivalent coldprocessing for puree) preserve actinidin, fibre and phytonutrients while minimising oxidation.
- Quality and bioactive testing: Every Actazin puree batch tested for actinidin levels to deliver therapeutic outcomes
- Proven-stability: Actazin® puree maintains actinidin activity and a clean sensory profile across typical beverage and food processes such as 72–90 °C pasteurisation, hotfill, and UHTstyle treatments, within the acidic pH commonly used for juices and shots.

From Farm to Factory: Freshness by Design
Actazin® puree Ready to Eat Focus: marinades and sauces for meat
- Natural tenderiser and flavour optimization: the actinidin enzyme in Actazin® helps break down meat proteins, improving tenderness, protein digestion, and flavour in both red and white meats.
- Perfect as marinade or finishing sauce: Actazin® puree's viscosity and flavour profile make it ideal either as part of a precook marinade or blended into a postcook sauce or glaze.
- Suitable for chicken and steak: studies on actinidin show improved texture and protein breakdown in beef and other meat matrices, and the fresh, tart profile of green kiwifruit pairs naturally with both chicken and red meat.
- Flexible dosing: depending on the protein content, cut type and desired level of tenderisation, lower equivalent doses (around 30 mg powderequivalent per portion, expressed as the corresponding puree usage) may be appropriate —our NPD team can work with you to optimise this.
Sciencebacked, FSANZ notified, globally relevant
- FSANZ health claim: products containing at least 600 mg Actazin® powder or equivalent puree per day may be able to claim that Actazin® "supports normal bowel function by promoting bowel regularity", providing a clear regulatory anchor for digestivehealth innovations
- Global compatibility: Actazin® is already used in products across APAC, North America and Europe, giving your brand a familiar and trusted ingredient in multiple regulatory landscapes
- One science platform, multiple formats: wholefruit powders and purees are built on the same clinical and preclinical evidence base, giving R&D teams confidence that the benefits of Actazin® carry through into new delivery systems.
Sustainability : respect for nature
- Our ingredients start with living ecosystems, so sustainability is not an addon; it is built into how we operate. We work with New Zealand growers and processors to protect soil health, minimise waste and use energyefficient, lowimpact manufacturing that preserves both the fruit and the environment it comes from.
- That commitment has been recognised with EcoVadis Platinum, placing Anagenix among the toprated companies globally for environmental, social and ethical performance. For our partners, it means every scoop of ingredient carries not just clinical credibility, but a meaningful sustainability story you can stand behind.
- Cleanlabel positioning: whole fruit, vegan, nonGMO, low FODMAP and free from added sugars and preservatives, supporting "no nasties" labelling.
