Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines. They are a form of fiber that acts as fertilizer for the good bacteria found in the gut. They are indigestible by the body and are unaffected by heat or bacteria. Therefore, they can easily be incorporated into many foodstuffs to allow consumers to fully benefit from these fibers. Prebiotic ingredients include inulin, FOS, Galacto-oligosaccharides, and polydextrose, which are used in a wide variety of beverages as they have multifunctional properties. There are several health benefits associated with the consumption of prebiotic ingredients, such as reduced attacks of diarrhea and improved bowel movement frequency while reducing flatulence and bloating. Imbalance in gut bacterial species can also lead to obesity. Supplementation with FOS and inulin type fructans have been shown to reduce body weight in overweight and obese adults as well as control hunger.

Many industry players are formulating fibers for the food supplements market, tapping into demands such as gut health and sugar reduction. FrieslandCampina has introduced its product, Biotis Gut health, which leverages GOS to support digestive comfort. This was followed by Biotis Brain Health, which combines GOS with proteins and micronutrients needs in mind. Israel-based Galam recently launched GOFOS, a fiber ingredient with low water activity, which is designed for greater stability and longer shelf life of synbiotic products. Nexira offers two prebiotic ingredients: prebiotic acacia (Inavea pure acacia) and the recently launched baobab and acacia blend.

Oligosaccharides are the most common prebiotic ingredients used in pharmaceutical and nutraceuticals applications. FOS, GOS, and MOS are the main types of oligosaccharides that are used commercially. Companies such as Kyowa Hakko Bio (Japan) and Tereos (France) offer oligosaccharides to be used as a nutraceutical and potential pharmaceutical ingredients.

Inulin is found naturally in wheat, onions, shallots, Jerusalem artichokes, chicory roots, leeks, asparagus, and rye. Other foods containing inulin are agave, custard apple, mango, peach, persimmon, rambutan, watermelon, zucchini, and bananas. For commercial purposes, many manufacturers, such as Nexira (France) and BENEO (Germany), extract inulin from chicory roots because the inulin extracted from these roots is used for medicinal purposes. Inulin is also used as a fat replacer, sugar replacer, and texture modifier, as well as for the development of functional foods.

Europe dominated the market for prebiotic ingredients owing to their increasing health consciousness. The consumers in this region are highly aware of healthy and functional ingredients and are looking for food products derived from natural sources. This high level of awareness has resulted in the demand for low-calorie and low-fat foods to be consumed in the region. There is a trend of “general wellbeing” that is recently trending in Europe. And this trend is one of the factors fueling the market for prebiotic ingredients as these ingredients are majorly used for the general goodness of health. As high-fat foods are associated with obesity and diabetes, food & beverage companies are innovating to produce various low-fat foods to meet consumer demand. Hence, this consumer push for better foods is driving the nutraceutical ingredients market in Europe.
