These products can be used in food and beverage applications including snacks, bakery goods, yogurts, ice cream, as well as fruit sauces, purees, and bars.
"Our team is excited to share our new strategic collaboration with Sensus for Inulin and FOS in the U.S. We are eager to showcase the importance of these two lines and their usage to address gut health and overall wellbeing," states Larry Davis, Vice President Brenntag Food & Nutrition North America. "As consumer demand continues to grow in this area, we're confident our applications and technical expertise, in conjunction with Sensus' leading market position, will help our customers meet this demand."
