Supplyside West

Booth #2021

FrieslandCampina Ingredients, a global innovator in healthy and functional ingredients, will be showcasing its latest protein and prebiotic ingredient innovations, including the newly launched Biotis GOS-OP High Purity. The company will discuss how it can help brands unlock opportunities in both the supplement and functional food and drinks markets at SupplySide West Booth #2021.

Introducing: Biotis GOS-OP High Purity

To help manufacturers overcome common challenges associated with formulating prebiotic supplements, FrieslandCampina Ingredients will be showcasing its new Biotis GOS-OP High Purity.

Developed using a patent-pending process, the ingredient delivers a high concentration of GOS—typically around 94%. Research has also substantiated the efficacy of Biotis GOS-OP High Purity at doses as low as 2 grams. As a result, this novel ingredient creates opportunities for brands to provide effective dosages of prebiotics in smaller and convenient supplement formats, such as tablets, capsules, and gummies, the company said.

“Two in three consumers recognize that good gut health is key to overall wellbeing, meaning there is a significant opportunity for brands to innovate in this area,” said Sophie Zillinger Molenaar, global marketing lead for Biotis at FrieslandCampina Ingredients. “Gut health supplements are increasingly in demand as they offer busy consumers a convenient way to improve their health and overall wellbeing. We’re excited to highlight the potential of Biotis GOS-OP High Purity to help brands reimagine prebiotic supplement innovation at this year’s SupplySide West.”

Plantaris: Plant Protein NPD

FrieslandCampina will also showcase its range of Plantaris plant-based protein powder solutions in the New Product Zone. Plantaris Pea Isolate 85 A and Plantaris Faba Isolate 90 A provide up to 25 grams of high-quality protein per serving to meet the growing demand for plant-based proteins that are nutritious and mimic dairy’s taste and texture.

Protein Fortification On-The-Go

FrieslandCampina will display its latest fortified clear protein water concept in the New Product Zone. Built using Nutri Whey Isolate Clear and Biotis GOS, this application is low in calories and highly nutritious, delivering 20 g of protein and 5 g of prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) per 500 ml serving to supporting muscle strength and gut health in one solution.
