FrieslandCampina Ingredients, a global protein and prebiotics specialist, will be returning to this year's edition of Vitafoods Asia.
The event, which will be held in Bangkok between September 18–20, will bring together a range of companies from the food and beverage, and nutraceutical sectors.
It offers a great opportunity for industry professionals to keep up to date on the latest innovations in their respective field, while also giving attendees time to network.
FrieslandCampina will be at booth A31, and will be exhibiting its range of speciality nutritional products, such as microencapsulated omega-3 powders, fermented and clear proteins, as well as highly concentrated prebiotics.
Bridging the APAC nutritional gap with omega-3 solutions
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, provides multifaceted benefits including supporting brain, eye and cardiovascular health, as well as exercise recovery.
Despite this fatty acid being a significant player in promoting good health, intake remains low in many APAC countries.
Therefore, FrieslandCampina Ingredients is launching a two novel algae-based, microencapsulated omega-3 solutions: Biotis DHA FlexP 20 and DHA FlexP 15.
Biotis DHA FlexP 20 has a 20% DHA load, and is suitable for vegetarians, whereas Biotis DHA FlexP 15 contains a 15% DHA load, and is suitable for vegans.
Both ingredients are encapsulated into a powder matrix, which protects the DHA from oxidation.
Holistic sports nutrition solutions for the health-conscious
FrieslandCampina Ingredients believes that the APAC market is evolving, and consumers are no longer settling for standard protein supplementation methods.
Therefore, the company has evolved its range to offer multifunctional benefits — looking to support athletic performance, recovery and wellbeing.
Biotis Fermentis looks to satisfy this consumer need, combining whey protein, prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides and probiotic cultures that works through the nurturing of the gut microbiome.
The company will present the ingredient in a number of formats, including stick packs and ready-to-mix applications, as well as a beverage solution.
Tjalling Bekker, Sales Director, Asia-Pacific at FrieslandCampina Ingredients, commented: " The APAC market continues to be a key region for FrieslandCampina Ingredients. We're seeing increasing demand for nutritional solutions that support multiple health benefits simultaneously, from brain function to gut health and athletic performance."
"Our latest innovations are designed to meet these needs, offering brands the flexibility to create stand-out products in this vibrant market. We look forward to connecting with our customers, distribution partners and new prospects to explore how we can team up to advance the future of industry.”
