Taiyo: the functional ingredient specialist

Natural ingredients that combine health benefits, high levels of functionality
and great taste:
These are the core competences of the Japanese ingredient manufacturer Taiyo. Since its foundation in 1946, Taiyo has established itself as a leading supplier to the nutrition, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The company offers a portfolio of functional ingredients including soluble fiber, egg-and tea-based products, superfruit extracts, emulsifiers and stabilizers. Naturalness is a common thread throughout the entire value chain: no chemical substances are used during the cultivation or processing of the raw materials, which are, in addition, guaranteed to be GMO-free.

In line with current trends, a growing assortment of ingredients with organic certification completes the range.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a crucial pillar of Taiyo’s corporate philosophy, with a strong focus on

controlled and partly organically certified cultivation, as well as careful raw material processing.

This commitment was recently recognized by the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, who

presented Taiyo Lucid, the Indian production plant for the soluble fiber, Sunfiber®, with a "Good Corporate Citizen Award 2015-16".

Taiyo Lucid’s sustainability program, which benefits both nature and society, is highly honored by the award. It begins with the local farmers who grow the guar bean, the raw material for Taiyo’s soluble fiber. They are taught how to plant the beans as sustainably as possible, while maintainingthe highest quality standards. As a result, the farmers are able to deliver organically produced raw materials that meet both US (United States Department of Agriculture) and EU regulatory requirements.

In addition to fair and punctual payment for the farmers, Taiyo Lucid assumes overall social responsibility. The company promotes on-site infrastructure by investing in schools, streets and hospitals and opposing child labor. Taiyo strives to improve its working conditions on an ongoing basis and to conform to Western standard.
