Functional Food Platform Technology — FFPT™

Functional Food Platform Technology (FFPT™) enables the company to develop delicious, nutrient dense functional foods that address the changing health, nutrition, energy and taste needs that naturally occur throughout the human life cycle. To be most effective, New Era's objective is to develop functional foods on an age, gender and need segmented basis. New Era believes that bars, beverages and confections (Nutrabites™ ) are the most suitable food forms for the delivery of functional benefits from a consumer, scientific, and regulatory perspective.

Functional Food Bar Technology — FFBT™

New Era has developed FFBT™ as its proprietary bar technology over the past ten years. It is the company's predictive model for the development of functional food bars that encompasses the cumulative knowledge of research and bar development work, with over 2000 formulations. FFBT™ is differentiated from other food bar technology as it specializes in nutritionally designing and nutraceutically enhancing food bars through the integration of conventional food and novel ingredients. This technology overcomes challenges in relation to taste, texture, shelf stability, and processing that result from the integration of nutraceuticals into foods. New Era's clients have achieved significant commercial success through this proprietary technology with over 50 million bars sold to date.

Functional Beverage Technology — FBT™

New Era has also developed a proprietary technology for powdered functional beverages with particular focus on soy and whey. Through FBT™ New Era has achieved excellent flavour and texture profiles, overcoming the challenges of combining nutraceuticals with conventional ingredients. The powdered beverage format enables us to bundle nutraceutical ingredients with superior shelf stability and provides cost competitive advantages to clients.

Nutrabite Technology — NBT™

NBT™ is the most recent addition to New Era's Platform Technology. NBT™ involves the addition of nutraceuticals to bite-sized confections. This format also offers a convenient delivery system for nutraceuticals that facilitates bioavailability and biomeasurement.
