Taiyo is proud to present a new product – Sunfiber® AF. With this new product, Taiyo is expanding its product range in a completely new direction: Sunfiber® AF is specially designed for animal feed.
Epigallocatechin- gallate (EGCg) is the main catechin in green tea and provides many health benefits. High EGCg intake (>800 mg/day), either in pure form or in form of green tea extracts, especially consumed on an empty stomach can cause side effects such as liver inflammation. Therefore, the EFSA regulated EGCg in pure form as approved NOVEL FOOD (Novel Food Regulation EU 2017/2470) and EGCg containing green tea extracts in the EU regulation No. 2022/2340. Both regulations limit the daily dosage of EGCg and requires labelling warnings for EGCg.
The Taiyo GmbH wishes you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Taiyo, the expert in natural-based functional ingredients, will be showcasing exciting concepts at Drinktec 2022, which all address beverage trends such as prebiotic and functional drinks. At the Taiyo booth A5-630 in Munich, product developers and buyers looking for innovative ingredients with health-promoting properties will find solutions that set new standards, including Moringa Extract S. This contains the glucosinolate glucomoringin (GMG); a so-called genetic switch that activates natural physiological mechanisms which help the body to produce more energy. The positive effects of GMG have been proven in numerous studies, including its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to protect against neurodegenerative diseases.
Vegetarian or vegan alternatives to animal products can no longer be overlooked on supermarket shelves. In Germany, around seven million people already eat a vegetarian diet, more than one percent of the population even lives vegan, and more and more consumers are calling themselves flexitarians. However, the desire of many people for plant-based alternatives that have a meat-like structure, natural ingredients and, above all, convincing taste, poses challenges for the food industry. Taiyo is an expert in functional ingredients and supplies Vegemeat, a plant-based meat alternative made from pea protein. The granules are 100 percent natural, free of additives and preservatives, and also allergen-free: perfect for soups, bolognese, lasagnas and the like.
Taiyo, the expert in health-promoting natural ingredients, introduced innovative concepts and prototypes that generated great interest among visitors to Vitafoods Europe 2022 from 10.05.- 12.05.2022 in Geneva.
