Kang Biotech Showcases at FIC 2026

From March 17 to 19, 2026, Food Ingredients China Exhibition (FIC 2026) was grandly held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). Lianyuan Kang Biotech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Kang Biotech”) made a strong appearance with its core products, including Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC), Naringin, Naringenin, and Apigenin, along with other citrus-derived extracts. With their natural origin and multifunctional properties, the company attracted significant attention as a leading supplier of botanical extracts at the exhibition.

As the largest and most international professional exhibition for food additives and ingredients in Asia, FIC 2026 brought together thousands of exhibitors and tens of thousands of professional visitors from around the world. Kang Biotech has been deeply engaged in the field of citrus extracts for many years. Through this exhibition, the company not only demonstrated its technical expertise in extraction processes and quality control, but also engaged in in-depth discussions with domestic and international clients on two major industry trends: “clean label” and “functional health.”
During the exhibition, several key products promoted by Kang Biotech received widespread attention:

​​​​​​​Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (NHDC) – A natural, high-intensity sweetener with flavor-enhancing properties. It can effectively improve sweetness perception, enhance aroma profiles, and mask undesirable flavors, offering broad application potential in the food ingredients industry.
Naringin – A natural bittering agent and flavor modifier with strong potential in sugar-free tea beverages and functional drinks. Its dual role in bitterness modification and metabolic health has made it highly favored by R&D professionals.
Naringenin – A high-purity flavonoid compound with growing demand in dietary supplements and health food applications.
Apigenin – With its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivities, it can be widely applied in functional foods, pharmaceutical development, and personal care products, making it a “star product” during exhibition discussions
“Compared to previous years, customers at FIC 2026 have shown a significantly increased focus on ‘natural origin’ and ‘functional validation,’” said Mr. Xiao, Head of Kang Biotech. “Leveraging local citrus resources in Hunan, we have established a complete quality control system from raw material traceability to extraction processes, which aligns well with the current demand for clean label and supply chain transparency in the food and beverage industry.”
During the exhibition, Kang Biotech attracted numerous professional buyers and R&D specialists from Europe, North America, and China. Several brand owners expressed strong interest in the application of NHDC in sugar reduction solutions, and preliminary agreements were reached regarding sample testing and technical cooperation.
At present, the global food ingredients industry is rapidly shifting toward natural, functional, and sustainable solutions. Kang Biotech will continue to focus on the deep development of citrus extracts, driving product upgrades through technological innovation and providing global customers with higher-quality and more professional natural ingredient solutions.
