Booth A106
FrieslandCampina Ingredients, a supplier specializing in protein and probiotics, will return to Vitafoods Europe to showcase a new range of consumer-focused concepts designed to meet today’s nutrition trends, especially for Gen Z and Millennial consumers.
The company will highlight its recently-launched Biotis DHA Flex powders, to create a wide range of food, drinks, and supplements with omega-3s. Attendees can also experience Biotis Fermentis, an ingredient containing co-fermented whey protein, prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (Biotis GOS), and probiotic cultures, in a ready-to-drink (RTD) concept.
Omega-3 Innovation
Omega-3s, especially DHA, are evidenced to support brain, eye, and cardiovascular health, as well as exercise recovery. Despite this, global intake remains low. Biotis DHA Flex Powders can help manufacturers create food, drinks, and supplements in vegan and vegetarian formats that meet consumers’ needs to support DHA intake.
“As well as delivering a consistently high DHA load, we have encapsulated the plant-based algal oil in a powder matrix to deliver superior sensory properties compared to traditional omega-3 ingredients. It also includes a high dose of vitamin C for an extra immune health claim. This new ingredient range will help us offer nutrition brands even more flexibility when it comes to formulating applications with multiple, on-trend health benefits, helping brands meet a wider range of consumer needs and preferences,” said Sophie Zillinger Molenaar, global marketing lead.
Molenaar will discuss these ingredients at 4:00 p.m. on May 14 in the New Ingredients Theater, and the ingredients will also be on display in the New Product Zone and on the Cognitive & Emotional Health Health Tour.
The Gut-Muscle Axis
Consumers have an increased awareness of the roles of both exercise and looking after gut health in overall health, including areas like mental well-being. There is also a growing awareness that intensive exercise, stress, and dietary habits can cause gut discomfort, impacting sports performance.
Biotis Fermentis, a first-of-its kind combination of co-fermented protein, prebiotics, and probiotic cultures is specifically formulated to support the gut-muscle axis, delivering benefits for both digestive and muscular health. Visitors to FrieslandCampina’s booth can also sample shakes and RTD concepts.
“Nutrition takes many forms, but today’s consumers have three non-negotiables when it comes to buying food, drinks, and supplements: efficacy, taste, and convenience. And why should they have to compromise?” said Vicky Davies, global marketing director of performance, medical, and active nutrition. “Whether it’s delivering omega-3s in a vegetarian-friendly drink, supercharging sports nutrition with high performance proteins and prebiotics, or overcoming texture challenges in plant protein snacks, our unrivalled application expertise can help you meet the demands of the fast-paced nutrition market.
“This year, we’re highlighting how our newest ingredients can be used to build on-trend products that tick consumers’ boxes. As your application partner for proteins, prebiotics, and more, we’re looking forward to showcasing our latest RTD, bar, and gummy concepts so together, we can help consumers get the most out of life, always.”
