The company highlights an ingredient grown in Brazil, plant-based proteins, and solutions derived from Brazil’s biodiversity to meet the evolving needs of the food and beverage industry.
São Paulo, August 2026 – Concepta Ingredients, a company specializing in natural solutions for the food and beverage industry, is participating in Food Ingredients South America (FiSA) 2026, Latin America’s leading business and innovation platform for the sector, taking place August 4–6 at São Paulo Expo in São Paulo, Brazil. During the event, the company is showcasing its new Vanilla Extract and a portfolio of ingredients aligned with key consumer trends and market innovation.
One of the highlights is the new Vanilla Extract, derived from Vanilla planifolia, an orchid native to Mexico that is now cultivated in Brazil’s Northeast and Central-West regions, alongside other vanilla species endemic to Brazil. This initiative underscores the potential of Brazilian vanilla production, combining agro-extractive systems with the industry’s growing demand for natural ingredients sourced through sustainable, low-carbon supply chains, while maintaining high quality and performance.
Produced through hydroalcoholic extraction in compliance with FDA standards, the extract preserves the natural compounds responsible for vanilla’s characteristic aroma and flavor. The ingredient can be used in chocolate, ice cream, beverages, baked goods, confectionery, desserts, dairy products, and other formulations that prioritize natural ingredients and distinctive sensory experiences.
“Consumers are increasingly favoring ingredients of natural origin that are produced sustainably. This trend is driving the development of new technologies and solutions for the industry. Our Vanilla Extract is entering the market to meet this demand, combining quality, versatility, and performance across a range of industrial applications,” says André Sabará, CEO of Concepta Ingredients.
Portfolio Keeps Pace with Market Trends
Another highlight at the booth is the Arboreto Premium Protein Line, developed to meet the growing demand for foods with higher protein and fiber content, offering a nutritional experience aligned with today’s consumer expectations.
Among the products on display is Arboreto Premium Protein PRO 1000GB, a solution developed from sesame and babaçu plant proteins. The formulation combines protein, fiber, and functionality for use in pasta, soups, snacks, baked goods, and bars, keeping pace with evolving demand for more nutritious foods.
The line was developed in line with two of the food industry’s key trends: Gut-Friendly, focused on balancing the gut microbiota, and GLP-1 Friendly, a concept applied to foods that promote greater satiety and meet the needs of consumers seeking a balanced diet, including those using GLP-1-related therapies to manage weight and metabolism.
“FiSA is an important platform for showcasing solutions that bring together innovation, biodiversity, and sustainability. Our goal is to offer ingredients that create value for the food industry while also generating positive environmental and social impacts,” says André Sabará.
In addition to the new launches, visitors can explore Concepta Ingredients’ full portfolio, comprising ingredients derived from Brazilian biodiversity for the food, beverage, supplement, nutraceutical, and animal nutrition sectors.
Many of these solutions are part of the Bio Abundance Program, a company initiative that promotes the value of Brazil’s socio-biodiversity by generating income for local communities and conserving the Amazon, Cerrado, Caatinga, and Atlantic Forest biomes. The program currently contributes to the indirect conservation of approximately 580,000 hectares of native vegetation.
