Clean label, supply security and functional nutrition remain at the top of the agenda for food and beverage manufacturers. With direct control over its raw materials and more than 130 years of expertise, Nexira helps formulators meet these expectations with natural ingredients backed by data, traceability and dedicated application support.
Our customers expect more than an ingredient. They want reliable supply, consistent quality and proof of performance in their own applications. Whether it is investing in our carob value chain right at origin, an emulsifier that achieves full stability at a fraction of the usual dosage, or fibers that remain intact in acidic beverages, our message at FIE is the same: we master our ingredients from origin to formulation.
- Says Charlotte Wallart, Nexira’s Food Product Manager.
Carob: from origin to ingredient
Following the acquisition of Keragum in July 2026, Nexira can source and process carob directly in Morocco, the world’s leading carob-producing country. Close partnerships with local cooperatives provide direct access to high-quality carob seeds, harvested at full maturity for optimal quality. The seeds are transformed into locust bean gum (LBG) close to their source, in a brand-new factory, through an entirely mechanical process with no chemical treatment.
For food manufacturers, this integrated model means greater visibility over quality, full traceability and long-term continuity of supply. Combined with Nexira’s expertise, it makes LBG a reliable texturising solution and sought-after nutritional ingredient.
Coming soon: born from this integrated value chain, a new high-quality locust bean gum reference is on its way. Visit the booth to be among the first to hear about it.
As the world leader in acacia, Nexira builds on 130 years of acacia sourcing expertise, proprietary process innovation and more than 40 years of pioneering scientific research to unlock the full potential of this natural ingredient, from its proven nutritional and technological benefits to its remarkable versatility across applications.
Eficacia Advanced: Lower dosage, higher efficiency
- Eficacia Advanced is Nexira’s 100% natural acacia gum emulsifier in a highly granulated form. Designed for flavor houses and beverage emulsion manufacturers, it delivers stable, high-quality emulsions at lower dosages, reducing formulation costs while simplifying processing:Cut costs by up to 50%, through formulation savings and reduced supply chain costs
- Lower dosage, with high quality and stability over time
- Superior efficiency in high oil load and preservative-free emulsions
- Highly granulated for easier processing: free-flowing and easy to dose, fast wetting and dissolution with no lumps, low foaming and dust-free
- Clean label, natural 100% acacia gum, backed by a secured supply and high quality control standards
Acacia fibres: built for real-life
Consumer demand for fibre keeps growing, driven by converging needs: closing the fibre gap, improving the nutritional profile of everyday foods and drinks, and supporting digestive comfort for GLP-1 users. With Fibregum and inavea, Nexira offers a complete range of acacia fibres combining high digestive tolerance, clinically supported prebiotic benefits and excellent formulation flexibility. The range is available in Non-GMO Project Verified, organic and Fair for Life certified grades. Nexira’s commitment to responsible sourcing is part of the “Acacia Program,” which aims to protect acacia resources and work with local producer communities to co-build a sustainable supply chain.
New at FIE: “Not all fibres survive”. A new comparative study evaluates the stability of acacia fibre against inulin and FOS in acidic conditions and after heat treatment, two constraints in functional beverages. Compared to other fibres, acacia fibre has proven to be more stable, with a fibre content that remains constant throughout the manufacturing process and shelf life.
