Samyang Corporation Unveils New Crystalline Dietary Fiber Brand Fibernova At IFT 2026

Samyang Corporation announced that it will participate in IFT (Institute of Food Technologists) 2026, the world's largest food technology expo, to be held in Chicago, U.S., from July 13 to 15, where it will unveil its new crystalline dietary fiber brand. At this year's expo, Samyang Corporation will unveil Fibernova for the first time as the brand name for Kestose, its crystalline dietary fiber ingredient. The name Fibernova combines Fiber with Nova, which signifies innovation, conveying the meaning of an innovative next-generation dietary fiber ingredient. Kestose is a type of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and a prebiotic ingredient that serves as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria. It is a high-purity ingredient containing more than 99% fructooligosaccharides and, unlike conventional dietary fibers, can be produced in crystalline form. It also provides approximately 30% of the sweetness of sugar while containing only about 1% sugar, making it well suited for use in reduced-sugar products. Together, its crystalline form, high dietary fiber content, and near-zero sugar profile make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including functional beverages and other nutrition-focused products. To help booth visitors better understand Fibernova, Samyang Corporation will offer powdered electrolyte drink sticks containing Fibernova as tasting samples. The samples are low in sugar and high in dietary fiber, while offering a clean drinking experience without powder clumping. Samyang Corporation will also highlight its capabilities in customized product development by combining the strengths of its proprietary specialty food ingredients with the technological capabilities of its AI-powered sugar reduction solution, the 3S (Smart, Simple, Successful) Solution. When customers enter their desired sugar reduction target, product characteristics and cost requirements, the AI recommends the optimal combination and formulation ratios of Samyang Corporation's specialty ingredients. This helps reduce the time and cost required for initial formulation design, repeated sample testing and formulation adjustments. At its exhibition booth, Samyang Corporation will also offer pectin gummy samples developed using the 3S Solution. The gummies use the alternative sweetener allulose and the soluble dietary fiber resistant maltodextrin to reduce sugar while maintaining the characteristic texture and flavor of gummy confectionery. Samyang Corporation has conducted research into how its specialty food ingredients, including allulose, kestose, and resistant maltodextrin, affect metabolic responses such as postprandial blood glucose levels, as well as the gut environment. At the exhibition, the company shared its research findings with visiting customers and highlighted the characteristics of each ingredient and its potential applications in food product development. Samyang Corporation continues to expand its presence in the global food ingredients market through Fibernova, alongside its allulose brand Nexweet and resistant maltodextrin brand Fiberest. Allulose is an almost zero-calorie alternative sweetener that provides approximately 70% of the sweetness of sugar, while resistant maltodextrin is a soluble dietary fiber that may help support regular bowel movements, suppress postprandial increases in blood glucose levels and improve blood triglyceride levels.
