Aker seeks ‘important protein player’ status with new ingredient derived from krill Krill oil specialist Aker BioMarine is taking the next step in deriving value from its raw material by launching a soluble protein that the company says has the complete amino acid profile and formulation flexibility to make it an important player in the market. The new protein is called INVI, which Aker CEO Matts Johansen captures one of the product’s prime differentiating attributes. Protein for clear beverages “‘INVI’ is short for invisible. It’s a clear protein that’s fully soluble,” Johansen told NutraIngredients-USA. Johansen said the new protein is a hydrolyzed protein isolate with a complete amino acid profile. The protein is also said to include minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
