SEOUL,
South Korea, July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Samyang Corporation is
accelerating its efforts to promote specialty (high-functional)
ingredients and expand overseas markets by consistently
participating in global food-related exhibitions.
Samyang Corporation (CEO Nag-hyun Choi) announced its
participation in the International Food Technology Expo IFT 2024
held in Chicago, USA, from July 15 to
17.
This expo, organized annually by the Institute of Food
Technologists (IFT), is the world's largest food technology event,
with over 1,300 companies from more than 100 countries
participating.
Previously, Samyang Corp had promoted the excellence of its
specialty ingredients at the Natural Products Expo West (NPEW) 2024
in March, the International Food Ingredients & Additives (IFIA)
Exhibition and Conference 2024 in Japan in May, and the Seoul International Food
Industry Exhibition 2024 in June.
At this expo, the company focused on promoting its alternative
sweetener Allulose and soluble dietary fiber Resistant
dextrin, providing tasting samples using these ingredients to
enhance visitors' understanding. Tasting samples included
sugar-free keto ice cream with reduced calories using Allulose and
increased dietary fiber content using Resistant Dextrin, and
plant-based jelly and protein bars.
Allulose is a sugar found in figs and grapes that provides about
70% of the sweetness of sugar but with nearly zero calories, making
it an effective alternative sweetener. Samyang Corp developed
liquid Allulose based on its proprietary enzyme technology in 2016
and began mass production at its Ulsan plant in 2020. The following
year, the company launched its B2B brand Nexweet®, which
means "next-generation healthy sweetener," initiating full-scale
entry to the global market.
Samyang's Allulose is characterized by properties similar to
fructose and clean sweetness. It is used in various domestic food
categories, including beverages, dairy products, sauces, syrups,
and frozen desserts.
Resistant dextrin, a soluble dietary fiber, is a healthy,
functional food ingredient that can aid in smooth bowel movements,
suppress post-meal blood sugar spikes, and improve blood
triglyceride levels. Samyang Corp, seeing the potential synergy
between this functional ingredient and Allulose, which specializes
in sugar reduction, has been producing liquid and powdered
Resistant dextrin under the brand name Fiberest®, which
means "the best among dietary fibers."
Samyang Corp CEO Nag-hyun Choi stated, "Recently, in the U.S.,
products that are not only low in sugar and calories but also high
in dietary fiber content have been gaining popularity. Targeting
this trend, we propose solutions applying Allulose and Resistant
dextrin to potential customers," adding, "We plan to actively
participate in global food exhibitions to expand our overseas
market presence."
Meanwhile, Samyang Corp plans to showcase its superior food
ingredient technology at upcoming events in the second half of this
year, including Health ingredients (Hi) in Japan, and SupplySide West (SSW) and Food
ingredients North America in the
U.S.
