Béghin Meiji was formed in 1989 as a joint venture between two leading international corporations, Béghin Say (nowadays Tereos) from France and Meiji Seika from Japan.
For over 14 years, Béghin Meiji has been marketing Actilight, the most active fiber, the most advanced prebiotic.
Actilight: a proven beneficial impact on digestive comfort
At FIE, Béghin Meiji will reveal the results of the latest clinical works carried out with Actilight: a daily consumption of only 5g sc-FOS Actilight improves dramatically the digestive comfort of subjects concerned by minor functional bowel disorders.
This is the first placebo controlled study which objectively shows the effect of a prebiotic on the quality of life beyond the positive effect on the gut flora.
Actilight is obtained from sugar and is made up of short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides, which are natural components of many vegetables.
Actilight has demonstrated unique technological performances in food applications, such as low, no or reduced sugar products; low fat yogurts; biscuits and food supplements.
On its stand, the Béghin Meiji team will answer questions about the main nutritional and functional claims associated with Actilight.
