With functional-beverage launches up 18% in the past year and rising consumer demand for health-forward, clean-label ingredients, Nexira is presenting targeted solutions for formulators at Food Ingredients Europe 2025. From dietary fibres to botanical extracts and natural texturisers, the company’s booth is poised to be a hub of inspiration, innovation and tasting experiences.
“Consumers are taking greater ownership of their health, and beverages are becoming a key vehicle for delivering that nutrition in enjoyable, personalised and convenient formats,” says Charlotte Wallart, Food Product Manager at Nexira. At FIE, visitors will be offered three beverages: a refreshing prebiotic water, a morning boost latte and a sunrise mocktail.
Nexira’s natural‐ingredient solutions span several key areas:
- Functional Beverages – New botanical extracts such as guarana (natural energy), ginseng (cognitive support), lemon balm (relaxation), hibiscus (antioxidant boost) and green tea (vitality & weight management). These extracts are gently processed, highly soluble and sustainably sourced—including organic versions like French-sourced lemon balm.
- Fibre Enrichment & Gut Health – Acacia fibre offers high-fibre content with prebiotic effect and high digestive tolerance. Products like inavea™ and Fibregum™ suit clean-label to fibre-rich applications across snacks, bakery, sodas or stick packs—and are available in organic and carbon-neutral variants.
- Plant-Based Drinks & Dairy Alternatives – The naltive™ range of natural texturisers (including locust bean gum) delivers rich creamy mouthfeel and stability in plant-based formulations.
- Beverage Applications & Technical Performance – Acacia gum specialties support emulsions, encapsulation, binding, texture and stabilisation of active ingredients.
Together, these offerings align with macro-trends: clean label, gut health & wellness, plant-based indulgence and ingredient transparency. Join Nexira at Booth #40H10 at FIE 2025 and participate in the “Pitch & Coffee” sessions:
- December 2, 11 AM: “What if texture came naturally?”

Also, in 2025 Nexira celebrates 130 years of innovation and sustainability leadership, recently honoured with two awards at Vitafoods Europe. A special anniversary celebration will be held Wednesday, December 3 at 5 PM.
