BURCON ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF CLARISOY(TM) 150
Vancouver, British Columbia, June 26, 2012- Burcon NutraScience Corporation
(TSX: BU; NASDAQ: BUR) ('Burcon') reports that Archer Daniels Midland
Company (NYSE: ADM) will launch CLARISOYTM 150, the first extension to the
CLARISOY product line, today at the opening of the 2012 Institute of Food
Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in Las Vegas (the 'IFT Food
Expo'). CLARISOY is the world's first vegetable-based protein that offers
clarity and complete protein nutrition for beverage applications.
The newest CLARISOY product to be launched today - CLARISOY 150 - is a
clean-tasting isolated soy protein specially processed for use in beverage
systems with a pH of less than 4.0 with cloud systems or beverages
neutralized to a pH of 7.0 or higher. Due to its clean flavor and high
solubility in higher pH ranges, CLARISOY 150 allows for greater use of soy
protein in mildly flavored neutral beverages such as meal replacement and
weight management products. The new product enables beverage manufacturers
to comfortably formulate with up to 10 grams of protein per serving.
'Today's launch by ADM of CLARISOY 150, the first extension of the CLARISOY
product line, is exciting news for Burcon,' said Johann F. Tergesen,
Burcon's president and chief operating officer. 'CLARISOY 150 opens up an
entire new range of consumer products that can be formulated to include
CLARISOY.'
ADM will present the science behind the CLARISOY line of isolated soy
proteins at the New Products&Technology Table Top Showcase on Wednesday,
June 27 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the IFT Food Expo. Dr. Russ Egbert,
director of protein research for ADM, will be available to discuss the
distinctive properties of CLARISOY throughout the showcase. Attendees also
will be able to sample Harmony Soymilk made with CLARISOY 150.
IFT Food Expo attendees are also invited to stop by the ADM booth to sample
Fruit and Veggie Jive, a nutritional beverage that includes CLARISOY 100
transparent soy protein plus one serving of fruit and one serving of
vegetables. CLARISOY 100, launched at last year's IFT Food Expo, is ADM's
premier transparent, isolated soy protein and enables 100 percent-soluble
protein fortification in beverage applications with a pH below 4.0.
'CLARISOY 150 has an extraordinarily clean taste profile. Combined with
its smooth mouth-feel, it offers a host of potential applications either as
a replacement for, or to blend with, dairy protein,' said Dr. Martin
Schweizer, vice-president technical development of Burcon. 'CLARISOY's
potential to be blended with dairy protein or to be used in
dairy-alternative applications has been a key focus of our research and
patenting team for many years. Since our discovery of CLARISOY over four
years ago we have continuously worked to expand its potential applications.
The unique and revolutionary nature of this protein allows us to continue
to discover new exciting uses for it even today. '
