In December, the global food ingredients industry once again gathered at Paris Porte de Versailles Exhibition Center.
As a key indicator of industry trends, Fi Europe 2025 attracted professionals from 135 countries. BRIGHTMOON (Booth 72Q17) made a strong appearance under the theme “Defining Texture & Health”, showcasing the beauty of marine-based textures and the power of ocean-derived wellness.

Over the course of three days, we received extensive recognition from customers worldwide. Even more inspiring, BRIGHTMOON’s solutions aligned precisely with the forward-looking insights highlighted in The Fi Europe Trend Guide 2026, particularly the concept of “Fibre as the Next Protein”, reaffirming the accuracy of our strategic direction.

01. Defining Texture & Fibre
The Fi Europe Trend Guide 2026 positions dietary fibre as the next major nutrient, comparable to protein, and highlights its essential role in weight management and healthy aging.
At the BRIGHTMOON booth, BMSG? Sodium Alginate, a premium marine dietary fibre, received strong validation from European customers. Beyond traditional texture modification, visitors showed heightened interest in its potential for low-fat and healthier formulations:
(1)Meat Processing
Inquiries on sausage processing and fat replacement were the most frequent. Leveraging the gel-forming properties of sodium alginate, our solutions successfully mimic the mouthfeel of animal fat—addressing texture challenges while responding to global demand for calorie reduction and weight management.
(2)Cream&Sauce Stabilization
Customers also highly valued its stability in baking creams and foodservice sauces, recognizing it as an ideal clean-label solution to elevate product quality.
02. Defining Health
Beyond texture, the official trend report highlights the gut microbiome as a central pillar of preventive health.
In response to global interest in digestive wellness and dosage form innovation, BRIGHTMOON showcased two key functional solutions:
BMSFu? Fucoidan — known for physically removing Helicobacter pylori and supporting gastric mucosa repair, offering supplement brands a gentle and side-effect-free approach to digestive care.
MOONITOL? Mannitol — optimized for direct compression with exceptional stability (“non-hygroscopic, non-discoloring”), making it a preferred excipient for improving tablet quality.
03.Innovative Finished Products
At the product experience zone, BRIGHTMOON presented a diverse portfolio of consumer-ready innovations:
from heat-resistant chocolate energy bars that withstand 60°C without melting, to clean-label fruit purees adhering to strict “5-Zero” principles, to low-fat, low-calorie alginate crisps and dark-chocolate oat bites—all reflecting BRIGHTMOON’s commitment to high-fibre, low-burden nutrition delivered in delicious formats.
Next Stop:Frankfurt 2026
Fi Europe 2025 allowed BRIGHTMOON not only to demonstrate its full marine-biotechnology value chain, but also to build a shared vision with global partners:
the future of food lies in the perfect integration of delicious texture and functional health.
Thank you to all new and old friends who visited Booth 72Q17.
Carrying the inspiration and success from Paris, BRIGHTMOON will continue to advance marine biotech innovation and deliver healthier, more stable ingredient solutions.
See you in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2026!
