IFT is the world’s largest food technology expo, bringing together more than 1,000
companies from approximately 80 countries. The event provides a platform to explore
the latest technologies and trends in the global food industry and attracts more
than 20,000 industry professionals each year. Samyang Corporation has participated
in the event annually since 2017, showcasing its proprietary functional food ingredients
and technological capabilities.

At this year’s expo, Samyang Corporation will unveil "Fibernova" for the first time
as the brand name for Kestose, its crystalline dietary fiber ingredient. The name
Fibernova combines "Fiber" with "Nova," which signifies innovation, conveying the
meaning of an "innovative next-generation dietary fiber ingredient."

Kestose is a type of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and a prebiotic ingredient that
serves as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria. It is a high-purity ingredient
containing more than 99% fructooligosaccharides and, unlike conventional dietary
fibers, can be produced in crystalline form. It also provides approximately 30% 
of the sweetness of sugar while containing only about 1% sugar, making it well suited
for use in reduced-sugar products. Together, its crystalline form, high dietary 
fiber content, and near-zero sugar profile make it suitable for a wide range of 
applications, including functional beverages and other nutrition-focused products.

To help booth visitors better understand Fibernova, Samyang Corporation will offer
powdered electrolyte drink sticks containing Fibernova as tasting samples. The samples
are low in sugar and high in dietary fiber, while offering a clean drinking experience
without powder clumping.

Samyang Corporation will also highlight its capabilities in customized product development
by combining the strengths of its proprietary specialty food ingredients with the
technological capabilities of its AI-powered sugar reduction solution, the 3S (Smart,
Simple, Successful) Solution. When customers enter their desired sugar reduction
target, product characteristics and cost requirements, the AI recommends the optimal
combination and formulation ratios of Samyang Corporation’s specialty ingredients.
This helps reduce the time and cost required for initial formulation design, repeated
sample testing and formulation adjustments.

At its exhibition booth, Samyang Corporation will also offer pectin gummy samples
developed using the 3S Solution. The gummies use the alternative sweetener allulose
and the soluble dietary fiber resistant maltodextrin to reduce sugar while maintaining
the characteristic texture and flavor of gummy confectionery.

With the growth of the GLP-1-related market reshaping consumer eating habits and
nutritional needs, the global food industry is increasingly focusing on the development
of products that offer smaller portions with higher nutritional value, reduced sugar
with added protein and dietary fiber, and longer-lasting satiety.

In response to these changes, Samyang Corporation has conducted research into how
its specialty food ingredients, including allulose, kestose, and resistant maltodextrin,
affect metabolic responses such as postprandial blood glucose levels, as well as
the gut environment. At the exhibition, the company shared its research findings
with visiting customers and highlighted the characteristics of each ingredient and
its potential applications in food product development.

"In developing reduced-sugar products, it is essential to reduce the amount of sugar
used while maintaining excellent taste and texture," said Jung Jisuk, Head of the
Food Business Unit at Samyang Corporation. "Based on our 3S Solution and specialty
food ingredients, Samyang Corporation will continue to strengthen its capabilities
to support customized product development and respond quickly to the diverse needs
of global food companies."

Meanwhile, Samyang Corporation continues to expand its presence in the global food
ingredients market through Fibernova, alongside its allulose brand Nexweet and resistant
maltodextrin brand Fiberest. Allulose is an almost zero-calorie alternative sweetener
that provides approximately 70% of the sweetness of sugar, while resistant maltodextrin
is a soluble dietary fiber that may help support regular bowel movements, suppress
postprandial increases in blood glucose levels and improve blood triglyceride levels.
