This year it drew attendees from 40 countries, 200 companies and more than 1,500 industry professionals.<\/p>\n<p>In its conference debut, Samyang presented its in-house developed crystalline dietary fiber, Kestose, in a session led by senior researcher Hyerim Kim. She discussed global fiber trends, the physicochemical properties and benefits of crystalline Kestose, and real-world application examples across product categories.<\/p>\n<p>Kestose is a fructooligosaccharide (FOS) that functions as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Unlike typical powdered or liquid fibers, Samyang developed it in a crystalline form. That form has low hygroscopicity, resists clumping and dissolves quickly\u2014making it easy to fold into sugary products, powdered drinks and many other applications.<\/p>\n<p>Kestose is over 99% fructooligosaccharide, so it can help boost dietary fiber intake. It delivers about 30% of the sweetness of sugar while keeping total sugars near 1%, supporting sugar-reduction efforts without sacrificing taste. Because it preserves sweetness while lowering sugar and adding fiber, Kestose is well suited for premium, nutrient-forward products like snack bars, yogurt, protein drinks and dietary supplements.<\/p>\n<p>At its booth, Samyang served samples of a powdered electrolyte stick made with Kestose and spoke with global food companies and industry representatives about product applications and potential uses.<\/p>\n<p>Han Jeong-suk, head of Samyang\u2019s Food Research Center, said, \u201cThis conference was our global debut for Kestose, Samyang\u2019s homegrown next-generation crystalline dietary fiber.\u201d She added, \u201cWe\u2019ll continue strengthening R&amp;D on functional food ingredients, expand collaborations with global food companies, and boost our market competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samyang introduced Kestose, a next-gen dietary fiber, at the Future Food Tech Conference in San Francisco,
