phgg for functional food
Congratulations to ZymeBase Inc.! We are honored to announce that Fibalance™ PHGG for functional food applications has received the prestigious Innovation Award in the category of Functional Ingredients for Gut Health formulas at the FNBS2025 Food & Beverage Future Ecosystem Conference.
The FNBS2025 conference brings together food and beverage industry leaders, formulators, and ingredient innovators to explore the future of the food ecosystem. Winning the Innovation Award in the Functional Ingredients category recognizes Fibalance™’s growing influence in gut health formulation and highlights the increasing market demand for PHGG for functional food and dietary supplement applications.
Fibalance™ PHGG (Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum) is a low-viscosity, fully water-soluble prebiotic fiber produced through ZymeBase’s proprietary enzymatic hydrolysis technology. With 85% soluble dietary fiber content and Monash University Low-FODMAP certification, the ingredient is designed to support gut health, digestive comfort, and weight management — making it an ideal PHGG for functional food formulations across beverages, dairy, meal replacements, and supplements.
What distinguishes Fibalance™ in the functional food space is its combination of clinical credibility and formulation flexibility. The ingredient dissolves clearly without altering taste or texture, tolerates a wide range of pH and processing conditions, and supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while minimizing the bloating often associated with other prebiotic fibers. These properties have made it an increasingly popular choice for brands developing gut-health-focused product lines.
The recognition at FNBS2025 follows a series of milestones for ZymeBase, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to science-driven ingredient innovation. As consumer interest in digestive wellness continues to grow across global markets, ZymeBase will continue advancing research on PHGG for functional food applications — supporting brands with certified, clinically backed ingredients that deliver both efficacy and consumer trust.
We thank the FNBS2025 organizers and jury for this recognition, and our partners worldwide for their continued trust in ZymeBase innovation.
