Barentz, a speciality ingredients supplier, will showcase how it turns market trends into opportunities for food and nutrition innovation at Fi Europe 2026 in Frankfurt. Barentz’s participation will highlight the Human Nutrition trends shaping product innovation including protein fortification, fibre and gut health, to sensory and flavour experiences and targeted functional nutrition. Behind each trend lies a different formulation challenge: bringing together nutritional objectives, ingredient selection, technical performance and the consumer experience.
At the stand, visitors can taste the Beyond Protein bars, developed to bring different market trends to life through a familiar snack format. The concepts combine protein-rich ingredients with different textures, flavours and nutritional approaches.

Barentz’s formulation experts and application specialists will be available to explain the ingredient opportunities behind the samples and discuss visitor’s own product development challenges.

“At Fi Europe, we want visitors to bring us their product development challenges. By combining their ambitions with our teams’ ingredient knowledge and formulation expertise, we can explore how to translate changing consumer expectations into food and nutrition concepts that work for their markets,” says Mariano Vasconcellos, global technical director human nutrition at Barentz. Barentz Human Nutrition will be at hall 3.1, stand G80.
