FrieslandCampina Ingredients, a global supplier of protein and prebiotics, will be returning to Natural Products Expo West at booth #4548 with new product concepts to inspire nutrition brands. Formats will include shakes, gummies, ready-to-drink beverages, and bars.
Visitors to the booth will also be the first to see the company’s new brain health ingredient. More details on this will be announced at a date closer to the event.
Biotis Fermentis: Athletic Performance and Holistic Health Benefits
Studies suggest that gastrointestinal issues are prevalent among athletes, in connection with stressors like training and competition. In response to this growing concern, the company developed Biotis Fermentis, a protein which is co-fermented with pre- and probiotics to target the gut-muscle axis. Visitors to the company’s booth can taste Biotis Fermentis in a shake concept, and learn about its role in supporting gut and muscle health, along with evidence of its role in mood and energy.
Biotis GOS-OP High Purity: Prebiotic Gummy Innovation
The company will also showcase its gut-friendly prebiotic gummies, which overcome common formulation challenges to deliver a higher concentration, typically around 94%, of available galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) content than other prebiotics on the market.
Plantaris Plant-Based Protein
45% of consumers now eat or drink dairy alternatives (according to FMCG Gurus) but challenges remain in creating an appealing taste and texture, while also ensuring a high-quality nutritional profile. Visitors to FrieslandCampina’s booth will be able to experience how Plantaris pea and fava bean protein ingredients overcome these challenges, by trying ready-to-drink beverages, shakes, and bar concepts. Sensory panel tests show that products formulated with Plantaris have an overall cleaner taste than other products on the market.
Excellion
While protein bars can bridge nutritional gaps between meals, they can often harden over time, discouraging repeat purchases. FrieslandCampina Ingredients will highlight its Excellion protein range can help dairy-based bar concepts maintain a softer mouthfeel and extended shelf life.
“People are leading increasingly busy lives while also taking a more proactive approach to their health and well-being. This is driving demand for convenient on-the-go nutrition like shakes, bars and gummies. Even better if one product offers several health benefits at the same time,” said Auke Zeilstra, managing director for North America at FrieslandCampina Ingredients. “As part of our mission to help people get the most of life, always, we’re pleased to be back at Natural Products Expo West, a show that puts consumers’ needs first, too.”
“We want to show that it is possible to develop healthy products that still look and taste great, in fast-growing markets such as gut health and muscle support,” said Sophie Zillinger Molenaar, global marketing lead for Biotis at FrieslandCampina Ingredients. “This year, our concepts are better than ever, and we’re excited for visitors to explore the innovative applications our ingredients make possible, including the newest addition to our Biotis portfolio.”
