Food Ingredients China (FIC 2026), held from March 17–19, 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, has successfully concluded. The event brought together professionals across the global food ingredients industry to exchange ideas and explore evolving formulation needs.
During the exhibition, Yizhi Konjac welcomed visitors from diverse sectors, including product development, manufacturing, and ingredient sourcing. At Booth 3J60 / 3K61, we presented a range of konjac-based solutions designed to support current product development trends.
Responding to Evolving Formulation Needs
As the food industry continues to move toward plant-based, clean-label, and fiber-enriched formulations, konjac powder is increasingly being considered as a functional ingredient option.
At FIC 2026, our discussions with visitors focused on how konjac-based ingredients may contribute to:
- Texture optimization across different product categories
- Calorie reduction strategies in selected formulations
- Fiber enrichment in line with nutritional positioning
- Stability improvement in certain processed foods
- Label-friendly formulation approaches
Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, we emphasized application-specific adaptation based on individual product requirements.
From Concept to Application
To support more practical understanding, we showcased a selection of application-oriented samples and formulation concepts. These demonstrations were designed to reflect real development scenarios and spark technical discussions.
Key areas of interest included:
- Texture variation and mouthfeel design
- Balancing functionality and cost considerations
- Integration into plant-based product systems
- Customizable formulation approaches
The exchange of ideas at the booth highlighted the importance of collaborative development between ingredient suppliers and product teams.
Continuing the Conversation
While Food Ingredients China has concluded, the conversations and potential collaborations continue.
If you are currently working on product development or exploring ingredient options involving konjac, our team is available to support further discussions based on your specific needs.
