BARLEYmaxTM

BARLEYmaxTM has nearly 40 times more dietary fiber than white rice, compared to just
15 times more for rolled barley. It contains dietary fibers such as fructan, β-glucan andresistant starch, each of which enters the intestine at a different digestive rate to provide
food for good bacteria. BARLEYmaxTM also contains iron, zinc, niacin and vitamin B6, alltypically lacking in modern diets. Furthermore, BARLEYmaxTM offers an excellent
nutritional balance and contains less sugar than other grains, according to data cited inthe Standard Tables of Food Composition, part of the Japanese Food LabelingStandards. BARLEYmaxTM had a mild taste, neither bitter nor harsh, and is sweeter thangeneral barleys. It also is virtually odorless. With so many benefits, it is increasingly being
adopted for use in cooked rice, cereals, confectionery and breads in Japan and otherparts of Asia as well as in countries of other regions where health consciousness is rising,such as the United States and Australia. BARLEYmaxTM was developed in Australia by

the national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation (CSIRO).
In Europe, barley has a long history in the local food culture as a popular and widelyused ingredient in breads and cereals. Based on data from industry reports, research by
Teijin indicates that compared to Japan, Europe’s barley demand is about 15 times
greater for cereals and about 30 times greater for breads. Furthermore, European salesof breads and cereals containing dietary fiber are rising due to increasing healthconsciousness and demand for high-performance food ingredients rich in dietary fiber.
Given that conventional barley has a distinctive taste that is not to everyone's liking,Teijin is confident that Europe represents a highly promising market for the abundantdietary fiber, excellent nutritional balance and relatively sweet taste of BARLEYmaxTM.
