Beneo oligofructose approved in India

 The BENEO-Institute (www.beneo-institute.com) said its prebiotic fibre, oligofructose, which has been approved for use in bakery products for several years now can be used in sweets, dairy products, cereals as well as meat applications in India
This means that food manufacturers in India will now be able to reach a wider cross-section of consumers with the fibre-type and prebiotic benefits of oligofructose. Amongst the new food categories in which oligofructose can be used will be the very popular 'Traditional Indian Sweets' category, which includes sweets such as halwa, mysore pak and boondi ladoo.
Anke Sentko, vice president, Regulatory Affairs and Nutrition Communication, BENEO commented: "India is a growing market for functional ingredients so we are very pleased with this positive verdict. It proves again the nutritional and technological benefits of oligofructose within a wide range of products. Moreover, we are now able to support functional food manufacturers in an even broader application portfolio to encourage optimised nutrition and more healthy lifestyles."womens nike shoes
