PREBIOTICS

Natural sources

Where prebiotics occur in food

Prebiotics are found naturally in a range of plant foods — though typically at low concentrations. This is why concentrated prebiotic supplements and functional ingredients have attracted significant research and commercial interest.

The upcycled opportunity: Fruit and vegetable processing byproducts — apple pomace, citrus peel, brassica trimmings — are naturally concentrated in the same polyphenols and fibres found in whole foods. Valorised prebiotic powders represent a genuine white space: the same or superior prebiotic function, with a sustainability story no conventional brand can authentically replicate.
