BENEO-Orafti
BENEO-Orafti is the world market leader in the production and marketing of prebiotic ingredients from chicory.
BENEO-Orafti's ingredients inulin and oligofructose are natural food ingredients extracted from the chicory root. These ingredients bring technical and nutritional benefits to a wide range of everyday food and beverage products.
Orafti® inulin and Orafti® oligofructose are used in many products to improve their nutritional value. Orafti® inulin and Orafti® oligofructose can be used to replace fat, sugar and calories, as well as to increase levels of dietary fibre.
Clinical studies have demonstrated the exciting nutritional benefits of inulin and oligofructose. These prebiotic ingredients have a positive effect on the beneficial bifidobacteria in the colon, improving the balance of our intestinal flora. And because our digestive systems then work better, we feel better. An improved intestinal flora also helps our bodies to absorb more essential nutrients, such as calcium, from our diet.
BENEO-Orafti has developed a number of patented ingredients to meet the needs of the food industry. Orafti®Synergy1 has been shown to significantly improve uptake of calcium from the diet.
As well as the scientific research which shows that Orafti® inulin and Orafti® oligofructose are FeelGood Factors, BENEO-Orafti's consumer research has shown that people are looking for foods which help them to feel good. BENEO-Orafti's ingredients therefore represent a unique opportunity for the food industry to satisfy the needs of consumers to be healthier and have an improved sense of well-being. In 2000 BENEO-Orafti launched a consumer communications initiative - the BENEO® programme. Initially a European led initiative; the Europe-wide success of the programme has led to Beneo™ being made available to worldwide food industry. Nearly 300 food products are now bearing the recognisable Beneo™ symbol.
Food manufacturers working with BENEO-Orafti can be confident to have the application, marketing, regulatory and nutrition knowledge and expertise from the market leader.
