NutriLeads to Showcase Research, Innovation Opportunities with Precision Prebiotic Benicaros at Food Ingredients Europe 2024

NutriLeads will present its latest scientific advancements and highlight product innovation opportunities in the gut and immune health space with its precision prebiotic, Benicaros, at this year’s Food Ingredients Europe. The presentation will take place at 14:30 CET on November 19 at the 1-2-Taste booth (3.0G95). Visitors can also engage with NutriLeads’ science and commercial teams and sample jellybeans formulated with Benicaros.

Boi Reuter, NutriLeads Sales Manager EMEA, and Sue McKay, Ph.D., NutriLeads’ Health and Nutrition Manager, will present insights into how clinically proven Benicaros delivers consistent gut health benefits while training faster, smarter and stronger immune system responses. This dual-action mechanism, achievable with a low daily serving, opens up numerous innovation opportunities across foods, beverages and dietary supplements.

Multiple studies demonstrate that Benicaros, a natural pectin polysaccharide fiber (classified as rhamnogalacturonan-I or cRG-I) derived from upcycled carrot pomace, consistently promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, regardless of variations in individual microbiota composition. It also increases production of essential short-chain fatty acids, including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, that help foster a resilient and healthy gut ecosystem. In addition, Benicaros accelerates protective innate immune responses to potential threats.

“We are looking forward to discussing innovation opportunities with customers at FI Europe,” said Reuter. “Benicaros is a unique upcycled, science-backed ingredient that also possesses an extraordinarily favorable formulation profile.”
