Discover what’s new at Nexira this summer at IFT 2026
This July, Nexira will be heading to IFT FIRST 2026 to showcase a new wave of ingredient innovations designed to help food and beverage manufacturers formulate smarter, more natural, and more efficient products.
From breakthrough emulsion technology to advanced hydrocolloids, functional fibers, and new botanical beverage concepts, attendees will discover solutions that combine performance, functionality, and consumer appeal. Meet our teams booth 2842.
A new era for emulsions
One of the key highlights of this year’s show will be the launch of Eficacia™ Advanced, Nexira’s latest innovation in emulsification.
Developed from 100% natural acacia gum, Eficacia™ Advanced delivers outstanding emulsion stability while helping manufacturers optimize formulation costs. Designed for flavor applications, this new solution combines performance, reliability, and clean-label expectations.
Key benefits include:
- Up to 50% cost savings
- Natural emulsifier, 100% acacia gum
- Secure and reliable supply
- High-stability emulsions
Eficacia™ Advanced represents a significant step forward for formulators looking to achieve robust emulsions with greater efficiency.
Trusted texture solutions with Locust Bean Gum
Attendees will also have the opportunity to explore Nexira’s growing portfolio of Locust Bean Gum (LBG) solutions.
Widely used for its thickening, stabilizing, and texturizing properties, LBG remains an essential ingredient across numerous food categories, from dairy and plant-based products to desserts, and sauces.
Backed by Nexira’s expertise in natural ingredients and supply chain excellence, the range offers reliable performance for today’s formulation challenges.
Acacia fiber: 30 years of expertise and innovation
Nexira’s acacia fiber range continues to demonstrate why it has become a preferred solution for food manufacturers worldwide.
This year also marks 30 years of Fibregum™, the pioneering acacia fiber ingredient that helped establish acacia fiber as a reference for nutritional performance. Three decades after its launch, Fibregum™ remains at the heart of Nexira’s fiber expertise and innovation.
Beyond its nutritional benefits, acacia fiber offers valuable technological advantages, making it particularly easy to formulate across a wide range of applications thanks to its:
- Excellent processability and ease of use
- Stability across a broad pH range
- Resistance to heat and processing conditions
- Neutral sensory profile
- Texture and mouthfeel enhancement
These unique characteristics make acacia fiber an ideal ingredient for a large array of food and beverage applications.
New botanical extracts for the beverage market
Nexira will also showcase the latest developments from its botanical extracts portfolio, with the launch of three new adaptogenic mushroom extracts designed for beverage applications.
As consumers increasingly seek natural ingredients associated with wellness, balance, and holistic health, mushroom-based solutions are gaining significant momentum across the functional beverage market.
In addition, Nexira will present the results of a recent sensory mapping study of its botanical extracts portfolio. By characterizing extracts according to key sensory attributes, this research provides valuable guidance for beverage developers seeking to optimize both functionality and taste experience.
Designed to meet growing consumer demand for naturality, functionality, and authentic sensory experiences, the range opens new possibilities for beverage brands seeking differentiation and added value.
