In addition to the new Arboreto Premium Protein line, the company’s booth showcases a range of products sourced from Brazilian biodiversity
São Paulo, July 2024 – Concepta Ingredients, a business unit of Sabará Group specializing in the supply of natural solutions for the food and beverage industry, will participate in another edition of Food Ingredients South America (FiSA). Recognized as Latin America’s most comprehensive platform for industry networking and business, the trade show will take place August 6–8 at São Paulo Expo in São Paulo, Brazil.
At the 2024 event, the company is launching its Arboreto Premium Protein line, featuring PRO 1000G, a plant-based protein ingredient derived from the sesame oil extraction process. The product offers an excellent nutritional profile, as it is rich in protein, fiber, and calcium, and provides a source of essential amino acids.
Another highlight at the event is Arboreto Premium Protein PRO 1000GB, which innovatively combines the benefits of sesame, derived from the upcycling of material generated during oil extraction, and babaçu, an ingredient in Concepta Ingredients’ portfolio that is part of the Bio Abundance program, which promotes the sustainable use of natural resources and supports the development of the communities involved. The ingredient is ideal for use in pasta, bakery products, snacks, cereals, and hot beverages.
“Every year, we strive to innovate and surprise our customers with new additions to our portfolio. This time, we are introducing a protein ingredient that stands out not only for its culinary versatility but also for its positive social and environmental impact, a hallmark of our solutions,” says André Sabará, Commercial Director at Concepta Ingredients.
The executive explains that the ingredient stands out for providing more than 40 g of protein per 100 g of product, helping promote a prolonged feeling of satiety. It is also a significant source of magnesium, calcium, and potassium. As a gluten-free ingredient, it is suitable for people with gluten intolerance who are looking for a healthy, fiber-rich diet.
Bio Abundance Line
Concepta Ingredients’ booth also showcases the Bio Abundance line, featuring ingredients sourced from Brazilian biodiversity for a wide range of market segments. The portfolio includes cocoa butter and nibs, organic açaí powder, broken Brazil nuts, organic açaí oil, passion fruit oil, patauá oil, licuri oil, Brazil nut oil, cupuaçu butter, baru nuts, and babaçu flour.
“FiSA is always a great opportunity to reconnect with our customers and partners and build new relationships. It is also the perfect setting to launch new products and showcase others that are already highly successful in the market, including our ingredients sourced from Brazilian biodiversity,” says André Sabará.
In addition to promoting and highlighting Brazil’s natural resources through ingredients that enhance the flavor, functionality, and health benefits of products, the Bio Abundance line supports supply chains that generate positive environmental, social, economic, and cultural impacts for the communities and biomes where they are located.
This commitment is put into practice through the Bio Abundance Program, launched in 2022, which contributes to the indirect preservation of approximately 580,000 hectares of native vegetation across the Amazon, Cerrado, Caatinga, and Atlantic Forest biomes. The initiative is built on five pillars: connecting people through a virtuous value chain between the richness of the forest and the market; keeping the forest standing; respecting the peoples and communities that inhabit it; encouraging the use of ingredients sourced from Brazil’s biomes; and promoting socioeconomic inclusion and the reduction of social inequality.
Recently, the program launched a dedicated platform (beecreative.com.br/concepta/novo/), where customers and partners can learn more about Bio Abundance and explore the species involved and the initiative’s impact figures.
