Functional sugar industry stands on a new outlet

Functional sugars play an important role in functional food ingredients

The total output ranks first in the world

Functional sugars include functional oligosaccharides, functional dietary fibers, and functional sugar alcohols

Li Hongbo, vice chairman of Bowlingbao Biological Co.

Regulatory standards are lagging behind

The development of China's functional sugar industry is stable and progressing, and it is becoming more and more excellent

Incomplete standards are also a shortcoming of industrial development

From the current point of view, relevant departments in China are very concerned about the expansion and application of functional sugar raw materials

The concept of sugar reduction promotes industrial development

At present, the concept of healthy consumption of sugar reduction and hypoglycemia is becoming a social consensus, and many countries have introduced sugar taxes to restrain consumers from excessive intake of added sugar

Li Hongbo believes that the functional sugar series products are developed under the background of the national health industry, and the functional sugar industry will become a new economic growth point

Taking erythritol in the popular market as an example, relevant data show that in 2021, the supply of erythritol in China will be in short supply, and the price will gradually rise

The relevant person in charge of Sanyuan Bio Co.

The person in charge of Zhejiang Huakang Pharmaceutical Co.

Industry insiders said that with the rise of sugar reduction consumption, the proportion of downstream customers in the development and application of zero-sugar, reduced-sugar and functional sugar products will increase rapidly, forming a general trend.
