PGP International introduces new Bio Hemp Fibre Crisps to deliver added fibre and support gut health
15 Nov 2023
7 in 10 consumers regularly seek out food and drinks to help improve their digestive health1 and 75% of them consider fibre to be an effective gut health ingredient.2 That is why PGP International (PGPI) has partnered with AI-powered bioactives company, Brightseed, to develop their new Bio Hemp Fibre Crisp.
This extruded crisp product is formulated with a blend of PGPI’s high-quality rice flour and Brightseed’s Bio Gut Fibre. Featuring two bioactives for gut health, Bio Gut Fibre is a novel insoluble fibre ingredient made from upcycled hemp hulls.
Brightseed Bio Gut Fibre is a dietary fibre ingredient containing two bioactive compounds, NCT (N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine) and NFT (N-trans-Feruloyltyramine). These were identified in hemp hulls by Brightseed’s own Forager® AI and preclinical studies have shown that they support gut integrity to help maintain gut barrier function.3
Available for you to try on booth 3.1D60 at the upcoming Fi Europe, PGPI’s Bio Hemp Fibre Crisps provide a source of these bioactives as well as distinctive crispy or crunchy texture with 20% fibre content. This makes them ideal for applications such as snack bars, granolas, clusters and other functional foods looking to deliver added dietary fibre content and support gut health.
“As a company that was started by turning the waste product of rice processing into functional and nutritional ingredients, we’re proud to partner with other organizations that share our values,” says Angelica Horst, CEO of PGP International. “With Bio Gut Fibre’s recent Upcycled Certification and Non-GMO Project Verified certification, Bio Hemp Fibre Crisps not only provide nutritional value to product applications, but they also align with consumer desires for more natural and sustainable plant-based ingredients in their snacking choices. Bio Hemp Fibre Crisps are also gluten- and allergen-free to support a clean label nutritional declaration”.
The PGPI team will be at FiE in Frankfurt this year so you can visit booth 3.1D60 to try their crunchy Bio Hemp Bars and discuss how Bio Hemp Fibre Crisp could provide crispy, crunchy texture and an effective fiber source for your next product innovation.
