Barentz turns market trends into food and nutrition innovation at Fi Europe 2026.
Hoofddorp, the Netherlands, 30 October 2026. Barentz, a leading global specialty ingredients solutions provider, will showcase how it turns market trends into opportunities for food and nutrition innovation at Fi Europe 2026 in Frankfurt. From sweet and savory tastings to expert discussions, visitors can explore Barentz's ingredient solutions and formulation opportunities designed to help bring new product ideas to life.
Barentz’s participation will highlight the Human Nutrition trends shaping product innovation including protein fortification, fiber and gut health, to sensory and flavour experiences and targeted functional nutrition. Behind each trend lies a different formulation challenge: bringing together nutritional objectives, ingredient selection, technical performance and the consumer experience.
At the stand, visitors can taste the Beyond Protein Bars, developed to bring different market trends to life through a familiar snack format. The concepts combine protein-rich ingredients with different textures, flavours and nutritional approaches. Savoury popcorn offers another take on innovation highlighting how seasoning, flavour and crunch can transform a familiar snack into a multisensory experience.
But there is more behind the concepts: Barentz's formulation experts and application specialists will be available to explain the ingredient opportunities behind the samples and discuss visitor's own product development challenges. By connecting market insights with ingredient expertise and application know-how, Barentz helps customers explore how evolving consumer needs can translate into relevant formulation opportunities.
"At Fi Europe, we want visitors to bring us their product development challenges. By combining their ambitions with our teams' ingredient knowledge and formulation expertise, we can explore how to translate changing consumer expectations into food and nutrition concepts that work for their markets." says Mariano Vasconcellos, Global Technical Director Human Nutrition at Barentz.
