Soluble dietary fiber is increasingly recognized as a strategic component in product innovation and reformulation, as the global food landscape adapts to complex nutritional regulations and GLP-1–driven consumer expectations. However, conventional dietary fibers often face limitations in physicochemical properties and application performance across product categories. This session introduces KESTOSE, the first-in-market crystalline-format soluble dietary fiber, developed using Samyang’s proprietary technology. We will explore its unique physicochemical properties and application benefits, and demonstrate how it supports modern formulation strategies, including sugar reduction and high-fiber positioning, while enabling substantiated health benefit claims. The session offers practical insights into how high-purity KESTOSE can drive compliant, consumer-relevant product innovation in today’s evolving food environment.
