Anagenix’s Exclusive Technology for Maximum Bioactive Power
From Farm to Factory: Freshness by Design
2 Hours from Farm to Factory – 100% New Zealand Sourced
Our story starts and ends locally in New Zealand.
- Fruit is sourced from trusted local orchards, most within a two‑hour drive of our Auckland factory
- Harvested at peak ripeness
- Immediately frozen to preserve nutritional integrity
- Transported via cold chain to prevent degradation
- Reduced transport distances = lower emissions + higher freshness
Sustainability Bonus: “Ugly Fruit” Upcycling
We process cosmetically imperfect fruit that would otherwise go to waste—perfect on the inside, imperfect on the outside—supporting local growers and reducing food waste.
Target Bio-Lock: Retains 97% of Nutritional Value
Core Advantages
- Retains 97% of nutritional value
Preserves sensitive vitamins, antioxidants, and bioactives better than traditional drying. - Up to 10× bioactive concentration
Dramatically higher potency than fresh fruit. - Maintains original colour & taste
Critical for palatability and clean‑label formulations. - Ultra‑low moisture (1–5%) & water activity (<0.2 aW)
Ideal for probiotic compatibility and long‑term stability. - 3‑year shelf life without preservatives
Naturally stable without chemical additives. - Gentle enough for pharmaceutical‑grade applications
Protects delicate enzymes and heat‑sensitive compounds.
Precision Temperature and Vacuum Cycles
Once fruit reaches our facility, Target Bio-Lock® transforms it into a highly potent, shelf‑stable powder.
Our proprietary process:
- Operates at low temperatures to prevent heat damage
- Uses precision temperature and vacuum cycles
- Gradually removes bound water while preserving:
- Cellular structure
- Enzymes
- Vitamins
- Polyphenols
- Prevents collapse, shrinkage, oxidation, and nutrient loss common in conventional drying
- Concentrates naturally occurring bioactives rather than destroying them
Bioavailability Advantage
Target Bio-Lock® vs Spray Drying
Three samples of freeze dried kiwifruit powder were sourced from China from different distributors. All three samples were expected to be of similar quality to Actazin. Results showed little to no dietary fibre or any actinidin testing, indicating that the freeze drying processes they underwent inactivated the enzymes and altered the composition.
Target Biolock produces higher bioavailability products compared to Spray Drying.
Up to 89% Bioavailability
- Highly porous (>50%), sponge-like, irregular, amorphous with 8-13 m²/g surface area
- Porous structure allows complete penetration throughout the particle
- Open pore network (1-10 μm) allows bacterial colonisation
- Higher bioavailability (83-89%)
- Better encapsulation efficiency (>90%)
- Enhanced bioaccessibility during digestion
- Better preservation of heat-sensitive compounds
Spray dried Kiwifruit
- Dense, smooth, spherical with surface crusting and much lower porosit
- Smooth spherical surfaces limit access to only the exterior
- Dense spray-dried particles resist microbial penetration
- Lower bioavailability (54-58%)
Target BioLock has been designed to protect bioactives, where as “Food Grade” Kiwifruit powder often has none of the bioactives.
Such innovations make Bio-Lock freeze drying well-suited for premium food, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals—offering enhanced taste, texture, and nutritional content.
Nutrients Lock‑In: Proof of Performance
Target Bio-Lock® doesn’t just retain bioactives—it supercharges them.

Why This Matters?
This concentration enables dramatically lower dosages, improving formulation flexibility, cost efficiency, and consumer compliance.
Exceptional Potency Delivered at Low Doses
Our dosages range from 25mg to 600mg. This bioactive concentration through freeze-drying allows us to deliver the same health benefits in a more convenient and condensed manner suitable for wide-ranging formulation formats such as:
- Chewables
- Capsules
- Jellies/Gummies
- Functional Food Forms
- Beverages
Anagenix Unique Intellectual Property
Target Bio-Lock’s intellectual property revolves around methodical control of drying cycles and the use of precision temperature programs optimized for maximum nutrient retention and minimal physical product change. The unique aspects include:
- Customizable temperature and vacuum cycles tailored for different ingredients, ensuring each product’s key nutritional values are locked in during the harshest stages of dehydration.
- The technology is capable of preserving porous structures and delicate bioactive molecules by preventing the collapse, shrinkage, and oxidation, which are common in conventional drying.
- Automated user interfaces for precise process regulation, further reducing human error and ensuring consistent nutrient lock-in with every batch.
What do we see when we compare to commercial freeze drying?
Target Biolocks produces freeze dried powders are higher nutrient values.
