Did you know that some manufacturers start thinking about the morning after long before a drink reaches the festive table?
There is an unusual ingredient called Alcosoft. According to the manufacturer, it is made with lactulose and added to alcoholic beverages to soften their taste and make the possible after-effects of drinking less severe.
It sounds almost like a fairy tale: the party takes place, the toasts are made, and the next morning promises to be kinder than usual. But we are logistics professionals, so we will leave the miracles to the marketers and tell you how this unusual cargo travelled from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar.
Reference
Alcosoft is a liquid, syrup-based food ingredient made with lactulose. It is used in the production of alcoholic beverages.
According to the manufacturer’s materials, adding lactulose-based ingredients to alcoholic beverages may:
- reduce the severity of hangover symptoms;
- improve and soften the taste of the finished product;
- minimize the harmful effects of alcohol on the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract;
- help protect the body from intoxication caused by ethanol metabolites;
- accelerate the elimination of toxins, including ammonia.
The manufacturer also states that the therapeutic and preventive properties of lactulose were studied using the Alcosoft carbohydrate module in Russian clinics and research institutes. According to the information provided, lactulose in alcoholic beverages:
- has hepatoprotective properties;
- helps protect the liver from alcohol-related cirrhosis;
- minimizes the toxic effects of ethanol on the gastrointestinal tract.
This information is based on materials provided by the manufacturer. The description supplied did not include a list of studies or publications.
How CARGO-EXPRESS Arranged the Air Shipment of an Unusual Food Ingredient from Moscow to Mongolia
The task
The client needed to ship a batch of liquid food ingredient from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar by air.
Before accepting a shipment, an airline needs to know exactly what is inside the packaging: the product’s composition, intended use and properties, as well as the volume and specifications of the containers.
Descriptions such as “food additive” or “liquid ingredient” are not detailed enough for an airline to approve a shipment.
The solution
We:
- reviewed the product description and composition;
- clarified its intended use;
- checked the packaging requirements;
- prepared the information required for the airline’s approval;
- arranged transportation from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar.
Once the documents and product specifications had been checked, the cargo was accepted and shipped to Mongolia.
No unnecessary drama, no unexpected surprises and no attempts to convince airline staff that “it’s just syrup.”
And so another unusual shipment joined our collection of logistics cases — this time with a touch of pre-holiday spirit.
Manufacturers are already preparing for the festive season. Meanwhile, we would like to remind everyone that, however promising an ingredient may sound, moderation remains the most reliable choice at the holiday table.
