“Increasing Integration of Prebiotics in Functional Foods and Beverages”
- The global Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) market is experiencing a notable trend toward the integration of prebiotics into functional foods and beverages
- FOS, recognized for their prebiotic properties, are increasingly incorporated into products such as dairy, bakery, and nutritional beverages to enhance gut health and overall wellness
- Advanced processing techniques are enabling manufacturers to develop innovative FOS-based products, such as low-calorie sweeteners and fiber-enriched snacks, catering to health-conscious consumers
- For instance, companies such as Danone and Ingredion have launched FOS-enriched milk products and bakery solutions to meet the rising demand for digestive health benefits
- This trend is enhancing the appeal of FOS in various applications, making them highly attractive to both individual consumers and food industry players
- Analytical tools are being used to study consumer preferences and optimize FOS formulations for specific dietary needs, such as sugar reduction and improved gut microbiota
