The booth was located in the center of South Halls 1 and 2, along the main aisle, and was thecenterpiece of this exhibition.
Looking around the venue from the entrance to the hall on the second floor, visitors could
immediately recognize the exhibition concept written on the board above the booth: ``Opening up theworld of food with technology and sensibility.'‘
The booth was equipped with panels that described the five elements of food: color, aroma, taste,texture, and function/health, and products and technologies related to each were introduced.
In the ``color'' corner, we distributed candies made with ``Sanei Blue,'' a gardenia blue dye that isscheduled to be approved by the FDA.
Beams extend from each corner toward the center, and beyond that, case studies of application
development that combine the five elements of food are introduced along with food samples, which
particularly attracts the attention of visitors.

ifia/HFE JAPAN Award◆ The Best Product Prize ◆～Among the exhibitors, companies with particularly good products～

Ina Food Industry Co., Ltd.
“Ultra Agar SV-100/TR-100”
achieves a unique texture
Ina Foods Co., Ltd. introduced agar products and thickener
formulations that achieve a variety of textures, and their uniqueness
was praised. In particular, the new products ``SV-100'' and ``TR-100''in the low jelly strength agar ``Ultra Agar'' series attracted attention.
SV-100 maintains the same smooth and rich texture as conventional
Ultra Agar, while forming a gel with reduced adhesiveness in the oralcavity.
In addition to being suitable for puddings, it also has the advantage ofimproving the binding properties of jelly when mixed with kingyokukan
or jelly. This time, we exhibited a bright 6-layer jelly.
In addition, TR-100 has higher viscoelasticity than SV-100 and canachieve a firmer and smoother texture. Since it can impart a richfeeling even at low concentrations, it is useful for increasing the bodyof the drink, and the reaction from visitors was also positive.
Norio Ikezaki from the Sales Promotion
Department of the Sales Headquarters
commented, ``After the exhibition, wewant to work together as a sales teamto listen to and follow up on customer
needs.It is also important to figure out
how to incorporate those voices into
product development.''

Kameda Seika Co., Ltd.
Functions/Physical Properties Easy-touse "plant-based lactic acid bacteria"
Kameda Seika won the Product Strength Award for its plant-based lactic
acid bacteria material.
"Plant-based lactic acid bacteria K1" is a material that is derived frombrown rice and is compliant with the food system with functional claims,
which has intestinal regulation effects and suppresses the deterioration ofskin conditions due to dryness, as well as functional claims that suppress
nasal discomfort caused by pollen, anti-obesity effects, etc. It attracted
attention by introducing research data from clinical trials and examples of
its use of K2, a sake lees-derived product that is effective in preventing
atopic dermatitis and winter colds. Each product of vegetable lactic acidbacteria is a fine powder containing more than 1 trillion lactic acid bacteria(sterilized bacteria) per gram. It has good dispersibility in foods, has no
bitter, acrid, or sour taste, and does not produce lactic acid in the product.
Because it has high heat resistance, it canbe applied to a variety of foods. The
person in charge of the booth said, ``I
think people appreciated the solid
evidence from clinical trials and the easeof use of being able to label functionality
in various product forms.We will continue
to focus on functionality labeling andcontinue to provide a lot of evidence. We
would like to obtain this certification and
10
improve our product capabilities.''ifia/HFE JAPAN Award◆ The Best Technology Prize ◆～Among the exhibitors, companies with particularly good technology and R&D～

ingredients that are compatible with food with functional claims, exhibited avariety of its own materials such as Oryza ceramide, Oryza GABA, Saflee,
Fem Berry, and purple tea extract, and won the Technology Award. A newactive ingredient, human-type ceramide, was isolated and identified for
Oryza Ceramide, and in addition to its existing moisturizing effect, it has also
been confirmed to have a whitening effect by suppressing pigmentation
caused by ultraviolet rays, and is currently applying for a patent. In addition,
we will conduct a large-scale clinical trial in the United States on sports
performance using purple tea extract, in an effort to expand the evidencebase for each ingredient. President Hiromichi Murai said, ``Our strength isbuilding evidence.
In the future, we will not just develop products and provide evidence, but willcontinue to sincerely adjust our stance to meet the diverse needs of ourcustomers.'' We want to be the kind of company that responds to customer’s

ifia/HFE JAPAN Award◆ The Best Promotion Prize ◆～Among the exhibitors, companies with particularly good promotion～

Ajikan Co., Ltd.
Surprised by the cacao flavor of the chocolatelike material made from burdock root
Ajikan introduced "MelBurd,'' a chocolate-like food material made fromburdock as the main ingredient, and received many votes. We sampled
GOVOCE, a new sweet made from the same material, and the booth
was always crowded with visitors who were surprised by its chocolatelike taste and flavor, and its melt-in-the-mouth texture, despite not using
cacao. Melbird is made from burdock tea leaves, vegetable oil, sugar,
and emulsifier that are roasted using the company's unique patented
method. The company discovered that roasted burdock has aroma
components in common with cacao, and found that it contains eight of
the ten aroma components of cacao reported in papers. By refining therich aroma of burdock and making the ingredients as fine as possible,
we recreated the chocolate-like deliciousness while retaining the uniquearoma.."The person in charge said, ``Coupledwith the soaring price of cacao, there
were many people who were interested.I
think that the easy-to-understand display
at a glance and the fact that the productwas easy to sample and get interested in
won the award.We will continue to do soin the future.'' I want to focus even moreon increasing awareness

Morinaga & Co., Ltd.
Passenol, which has attracted attention,

where our company, Passenol, will be exhibiting. I'm glad it was a very
meaningful exhibit." On May 9th, the company announced the research
results of increasing the sirtuin gene on Passenol, a material withfunctional claims derived from passion fruit seeds. The storyline has
been in the spotlight since then.
"Pasenol" is a beauty material
originally developed by thecompany.
