Functional nutrients manufacturer BENEO has announced that, at Fi Europe (Frankfurt, 19-21 November) it will be showing an array of concepts that enable food and drink manufacturers to respond to the growing trend for promoting healthy life stages from early years to old age.
On its stand, the company will be showcasing the range of benefits possible with its prebiotic fibres, rice specialties and functional carbohydrates, through a number of food and drink applications which will be available for visitors to sample. From low glycaemic and digestive health benefits through to clean label, reduced calories and tooth-friendly properties, BENEO says that visitors will gain insights into how its ingredients can contribute to healthy ageing.
