Functional fibres: supporting gut health and weight management naturally

Functional fibres help create better-for-you products that support digestive health, blood glucose management, and weight control, all without compromising on taste or texture. 

Our chicory root fibres (Orafti® Inulin and Oligofructose) are proven prebiotics that promote gut health, satiety, and long-term well-being. 
scFOS is a dietary fibre with a mild sweetness, perfect for sugar reduction and fibre enrichment. 
Beta-glucans, support blood glucose balance and heart health, making them valuable ingredient for weight management concepts. 

And because good health starts early, BENEO’s innovations inspired by human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in combination with prebiotic from chicory support a healthy gut microbiota from infancy, laying the foundation for lifelong wellness. 

Faba bean protein: protein enrichment in a variety of applications 

Our faba bean protein is a sustainable ingredient that brings high-quality protein enrichment to a wide range of food applications: from dairy alternatives and bakery products to plant-based chocolate, sauces, and meat alternatives. 

Protein plays a key role in weight management, as it helps support muscle mass, increase satiety, and improve overall diet quality. With its excellent essential amino acid profile and naturally high protein content, BENEO’s faba bean protein concentrate offers a nutritionally balanced and clean-label alternative to soy and animal proteins. 

Sustainably sourced and processed within the EU (Germany), it’s the ideal choice for formulators looking to boost protein content, reduce eggs, or develop nutritious plant-based innovations that consumers can feel good about.  

Palatinose™: smart carbohydrate for energy and weight management  

Palatinose™ (isomaltulose) is a slow-release carbohydrate that helps steer metabolism toward a healthier energy balance. Unlike fast sugars, it provides sustained energy, supports fat burning, and leads to a lower blood glucose response.  

Our latest research shows that Palatinose™ promotes a higher and longer-lasting release of the gut hormone GLP-1, known for its role in appetite regulation and weight management. In studies, diets containing Palatinose™ were more effective in reducing body weight and fat mass than those with sucrose. Depending on local regulations, on-pack claims may include “promotes fat oxidation” and “increased GLP-1 release.” 

Taste it and you will be convinced. With our distinctive, texturized plant-based ingredients, Meatless® helps you to innovate with confidence. While the meat industry is shifting because of rising meat costs, pressure on supply chains and evolving consumer expectations, our experts have already thought of the solution. Blending the best of plants with the richness of meat allows cost reduction and, most importantly, a great taste. Hybrid is no longer a trend; it’s a powerful strategy for differentiation. 

Be part of the hybrid evolution and set your products apart with Meatless® texturized solutions.

At BENEO, we offer food ingredients from six natural sources such as: sugar beet, chicory root, rice, faba beans, wheat and barley. We strive for a constant high quality and supply security with our own production sites that manufacture our food ingredients at highest standards. Working with our functional, plant-based ingredients, you can count on a variety of quality certificates.  

At the same time, ensuring nutrition with proven benefits and sustainability are strongly interlinked at BENEO. Being part of the Südzucker Group, we have ambitious targets towards sustainability for which we commit at every step of the value chain, reaching from field to fork and beyond. This includes supporting resilient farming and supply chains, caring for people and mitigating our impact on the planet. 

Let’s take sustainability to our booth

Grab your plant and go green!  Increasing circularity is key to safeguard resources. We apply this principle in our business whenever possible. This is why we invite you to take a plant from our booth for free by the end of the fair. Let it grow and give it a second home! 

Come to our booth 40C40 in hall 4.0 on Thursday, 4 December, after 15h30
