Our goal is to make your dream concept a commercial product, integrating our strong knowledge of ingredients and techniques to help you make the right decisions

Functional Carbohydrate, Carb Replacers, Low Carb, Low glycemic Index Ingredient formulation

The global market for low carbohydrate and low glycemic index is expected to increase significantly due to increasing demand from the food and beverage industry. This calls for a huge opportunity for low-carb alternative manufacturers.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases has led consumers to make conscious decisions about adopting healthy habits, like choosing a plant-based diet or food with lower carbohydrate content and Glycaemic Index (GI). This has fuelled the demand for food sources with reduced carbohydrate content. In this context, food industries are interested in producing low-carbohydrate ingredients for different food and beverage applications. At Guires contract food and nutraceutical research and development (R&D) laboratory, our food formulation scientists can help your low-carb challenges with our new innovations. We source and formulate low-carb ingredients for different applications, including food, beverages, and nutraceuticals industries, that capture the consumer’s heart. We have expertise and experience in developing low carbs that meet the most stringent requirements in taste, quality and regulations.
Guires scientific expertise partners to create winning products that meet the desired organoleptic profile and regulatory parameters and thereby make your product unique and stand out in the marketplace.

Carbohydrates

The Food Research Lab can be the perfect fit for formulating low-carbohydrate products.

Since carbohydrates are the largest macronutrient category with a recommended intake of 55-75%, their role is significant. The key is metabolic pathway, digestibility, availability, and speed of absorption. Functional carbohydrates are non-cariogenic and are slowly digested in the body. At Guires FRL, we develop low carbohydrate or low (slow-release carbohydrates) glycemic food ingredients by accounting following factors.

We deliver our functional carbohydrates in the form of powder or liquid and utilize them in various applications, including food and beverages and nutraceuticals.
