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.

The global prevalence of NAFLD is currently estimated at about 24% and both adults and children are affected. Also, NAFLD increases the risk for complication such as cirrhosis, liver failure or even cardiovascular diseases.
DKSH is now Taiyo’s new strong distribution partner for the Iberian market. Already back in December 2021, DKSH announced the acquisition of the third-party distribution business of HealthTech Bio Actives (HTBA), a Spanish manufacturer and distributor of food and pharmaceutical ingredients. HTBA (previously known as Ferrer HealthTech) has been Taiyo’s exclusive distributor for the countries of Spain and Portugal for more than 15 years. The acquisition of HTBA thus also marks the perfect collaboration between Taiyo and DKSH.
As this year is drawing to a close we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and the valuable cooperation.
At Fi/Hi Europe in Frankfurt, Taiyo introduced Vegemeat, a new natural meat alternative for minced meat dishes. The granulated pea protein targets consumers not wanting to miss out on a minced meat-like texture. It is especially suitable for people on a vegan or low-meat diet who suffer from intolerances and thus pay close attention to ingredients.
