Shandong Kingstar Presents Functional Ingredient Solutions at Hi Japan 2025, Garnering International Market Interest

October 2025 – Shandong Kingstar successfully concluded its participation at Hi Japan 2025, held from October 15th to 17th at Tokyo Big Sight. At its booth 

(West Hall 4-212), the company presented its portfolio of functional food ingredients and technical expertise, with a particular focus on its high-end prebiotics, establishing valuable connections with numerous international clients.

Strategic Platform for Targeted Engagement

Leveraging Hi Japan's role as a key industry meeting point in Asia, Shandong Kingstar engaged in productive discussions with food manufacturers, brand owners, and R&D specialists from Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. These conversations provided deep insights into regional market demands for clean label, gut health, and precision nutrition solutions.

Spotlight on Core Ingredients: Advanced Prebiotic Solutions

The company displayed a range of ingredients, including food additives, proteins, and nutritional fortificants. Particular attention was drawn to two high-end prebiotic ingredients:

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS): Recognized for its high purity and prebiotic efficiency, the company highlighted its ability to effectively promote the proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria at low inclusion levels, alongside its stability in beverages, dietary supplements, and dairy products.

Stachyose: As a naturally occurring tetrasaccharide, its high stability and selective bifidogenic properties position it as an excellent raw material for developing gentle yet effective gut health products.

The booth also featured other functional ingredients such as Pea Protein Isolate, GABA, and Tagatose, as well as various finished dosage forms including tablets and softgels, demonstrating the company's integrated capabilities from raw materials to end-products.

Outcomes and Forward Look

Participation in the exhibition provided Shandong Kingstar with valuable insights into the latest Asian market trends and confirmed the strong competitiveness of its core products. Several clients expressed concrete interest in XOS and Stachyose, leading to arrangements for sample testing and further technical communication.

Moving forward, Shandong Kingstar remains committed to the research and development of functional ingredients, aiming to provide global clients with reliable and effective health food solutions.
