São Paulo, July 2023 – Concepta Ingredients, a business unit of Sabará Group specializing in the supply of natural solutions for the food and beverage industry, is participating in another edition of Food Ingredients South America (FiSA), recognized as Latin America’s most comprehensive platform for industry networking and business. The event will take place August 8–10 at São Paulo Expo in São Paulo, Brazil.
For this edition, the company is launching two new products in its Arboreto line, which features ingredients sourced from Brazilian biodiversity: Broken Brazil Nuts and Babaçu Flour. The company will also highlight the Bio Abundance Program, which now extends to the Atlantic Forest, bringing its reach to a total of four Brazilian biomes, as well as its commitment to ensuring full traceability of raw materials.
“We’re showcasing our full product portfolio, with several new additions since the last edition. The highlights are our new Broken Brazil Nuts and Babaçu Flour, alongside our vegetable oils, caramels, and sugars. Visitors to our booth will also have the opportunity to taste products made with our ingredients”, says André Sabará, Commercial Director at Concepta Ingredients.
“At FiSA, we look forward to reconnecting with our partners and customers, building new relationships, and showcasing not only our ingredient solutions but also the ESG initiatives we have successfully implemented over the years, such as the Bio Abundance Program,” he adds.
Broken Brazil Nuts
They have a distinctive, buttery flavor and a crunchy texture, with naturally occurring plant-based protein, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals, particularly selenium. They also contain omega-6 and omega-9. Ideal for use in breads, cakes, cereals, chutneys, as a finishing touch for dishes, ice cream, salads, sauces, soups, and sweets.
Babaçu Flour
A fine powder ranging in color from cream to reddish brown, it has a mild flavor and a high concentration of starch and fiber, as well as naturally occurring polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Ideal for use in breads, cakes, cereals, fried foods, and sweets.
Bio Abundance Program
Concepta Ingredients’ booth highlights the Bio Abundance Program, launched in 2022, which contributes to the indirect conservation of approximately 538,000 hectares of native vegetation across the Amazon, Cerrado, Caatinga, and Atlantic Forest biomes and involves approximately 6,200 families across six Brazilian states.
Concepta Ingredients’ Bio Abundance Program 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 who inhabit it; encouraging the use of ingredients sourced from Brazilian biomes; and promoting socioeconomic inclusion and the reduction of social inequality.
“We created the Bio Abundance Program to meet our current operational needs and market demands. Through the program, Concepta Ingredients has been investing in projects with supplier communities. Communities that meet our supply standards and are interested in becoming partners undergo an internal assessment to identify potential development projects. We also received support from the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD), which provided funding to help accelerate the company’s growth,” explains Giovanna Cappellano, ESG Coordinator at Sabará Group.
Awards
To recognize the good practices of exhibiting companies, Food Ingredients South America presents the 2023 Sustainable Booth Award, recognizing companies that showcase the most sustainable exhibition spaces.
At Concepta Ingredients, sustainability was a key consideration in the design of the booth, as well as in the giveaways and printed materials created specifically for the trade show. “The company is recognized for its ESG initiatives, which are part of the pillars that guide our work and reflect its very essence. Participating in initiatives like this is very important to us, as they reflect our philosophy and align with our practices,” concludes André Sabará.
