Assistance from the early stages of development
to commercialization of health functional foods
Kao has been steadily researching natural polyphenols contained in green tea and coffee, which continue to be consumed as a global favorite, for more than 20 years.
‘LUNA PHENON’ is a functional polyphenol material derived from natural plant sources, which has been developed by utilizing Kao’s unique polyphenol technology and functional research.
It can be used for a wide range of applications, including general foods as well as functional foods.
BENEFIT
Coffee chlorogenic acids produced by Kao’s proprietary process, have a variety of functions and are expected to expand their effectiveness in the future.

‘LUNA PHENON’, the polyphenol material created from Kao’s many years of functional research, can be used by companies for food development and other applications. We can also provide support for the utilization of extensive research data and notification of food with functional claims, etc., to meet your needs. We also provide support for the utilization of abundant research data and notification of functional food products upon request.
PRODUCTS
LUNA PHENON C-200 is professionally extracted from the carefully selected coffee beans rich in chlorogenic acids.
Major achievements in notification of functional foods in Japan
We also have knowledge on applications other than functional foods, such as feed and naturally occurring antibacterial and antiviral abilities.
