Advancing better-for-you is about adding value, not just removing ingredients. Today’s consumers want foods and beverages that support gut health, energy, mood, focus and sleep—without sacrificing enjoyment. Our elevated nutrition approach helps brands deliver both.
Why Single-Benefit Falls Short
Consumers expect more from every product: nutrition and indulgence. Better-for-you products must deliver multiple benefits without sacrificing taste, texture or enjoyment.
Why a Systems Approach Matters
Functional nutrition shouldn’t come at the expense of enjoyment. That’s why we design integrated ingredient systems that deliver wellness benefits, sensory appeal and reliable performance.
Our food ingredients portfolio helps manufacturers integrate a wide spectrum of wellness-forward sugar reduction solutions, fiber enrichment systems, gut health ingredients and functional actives, and make them work brilliantly in real food to protect taste, texture and shelf life.
Built on DANISCO® LITESSE® Polydextrose and SOLAE® FIBRIM® Soy Fiber, our fiber enrichment solutions deliver added fiber, prebiotic benefits and reduced sugar without the grit.
Combined with our soy protein and fiber systems, they provide meaningful nutrition while maintaining taste and texture.
Our sugar reduction solutions go beyond removing sugar to rebuilding the full eating experience. Our sweeteners portfolio, including DANISCO® XIVIA® Xylitol, delivers sweetness while our hydrocolloids and texturants to restore creaminess and structure.
TAURA fruit pieces and paste add real-fruit appeal with low sugar and high fiber. The result is reduced sugar products that consumers will love.
DANISCO® GUARDIAN® Antioxidants and plant extracts protect color, flavor and nutrient integrity throughout processing. Our fermentates and protective technologies help maintain freshness and integrity throughout shelf-life.
Together, they protect delicate actives while supporting the texture, stability and quality consumers expect.

From sugar reduction and gut health to fiber enrichment and functional nutrition, we bring the ingredients, expertise and integrated systems to transform ambitious ideas into market-ready success.
Our sugar reduction solutions go beyond simply removing what consumers don’t want. We pair sweeteners like XIVIA® xylitol with LITESSE® polydextrose fiber, fruit pieces and paste (TAURA) and hydrocolloids and texturants that rebuild creaminess and structure. The result: products that reduce sugar while preserving the taste, texture and indulgence consumers expect.
Our fiber enrichment food ingredients are anchored by LITESSE® polydextrose and FIBRIM® soy fiber. Both are well-tolerated soluble fibers used widely for prebiotic and digestive wellness claims in the growing dietary fiber market. Paired with our soy protein and fiber systems, they add fiber without the grit, support sugar reduction, and pair cleanly with proteins and hydrocolloids.
Our functional beverage ingredients combine plant proteins, LITESSE® polydextrose fiber, AVICEL® microcrystalline cellulose and other cellulosics, GUARDIAN® plant extracts and protective cultures. Concepts like SoyOat Cha showcase how the system performs across plant-forward formats, delivering wellness, stability and clean flavor in every sip.
We support better for you snacks across bars, bites, cookies and clusters. Concepts range from our Exotic Bliss Ball Bites (mango and passionfruit, high protein, Acerola for energy and immune health, EMEA) to our Soft Baked Berry Oat Cookie (1g sugar per 18g, 72 kcal, source of fiber, GA). Featured technology includes SUPRO® soy protein isolates, TAURA fruit pieces and LITESSE® fiber systems.
Our LITESSE® polydextrose delivers well-tolerated prebiotic fiber. MICROGARD® protective cultures (antimicrobials and fermentates) extend shelf life with label-friendly ingredients. Antioxidants and plant extracts (GUARDIAN®) protect nutrient integrity through processing. Together they form a system that keeps gut and digestive health ingredients stable, functional and enjoyable through shelf life.
