Taiyo: Functional beverage concepts based on natural raw materials

Taiyo, the expert in natural-based functional ingredients, will present exciting concepts at Drinktec that address beverage trends such as prebiotic drinks and functional drinks. Product developers and buyers looking for innovative ingredients with health-promoting properties will find solutions that set new standards at the Taiyo stand in Munich. This definitely includes Moringa Extract S. It contains the glucosinolate glucomoringin (GMG); this so-called genetic switch activates natural physiological mechanisms with the help of which the body produces more energy. The positive effects of GMG have already been proven in numerous studies: Among other things, it has an anti-inflammatory effect and protects against neurodegenerative diseases.
A soft drink concept with the dietary fibre Sunfiber® enables manufacturers to create soft drinks with a satiating effect that retain the full refreshing taste. The soft drink can help with weight management because, according to a study, drinking a drink enriched with Sunfiber® fibre increases the feeling of satiety - the study participants ate 70-100 calories less at the next meal. The easily digestible, low FODMAP fibre from the guar bean promotes the balance of beneficial microorganisms such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, improves the absorption of minerals such as calcium and magnesium and reduces "bad" LDL cholesterol.

Also worth noting is the CherryShieldTM fruit powder from the Stevnsbaer cherry. The prebiotic effect of CherryShieldTM is enhanced by the ISO-certified dietary fibre Sunfiber®.

The colourless, odourless and tasteless non-viscous dietary fibre Sunfiber® takes over technological functions that make additives superfluous. The fruit powders show excellent water solubility thanks to the porous agglomerate structure. CherryShieldTM is gluten-free and certified certified GMO-free and vegan. In order to ensure the highest possible purity, the products are tested for polyphenols and DNA as part of the Canadian TRU-ID certification programme. DNA.
