Barentz confirms its participation in the Food Sector Technical Day 2026, the biggest event in the food sector in southern Brazil, what happens to 12 a 14 May, in Lajeado (RS). During the event, the company will be present at table no. 59, presenting its portfolio of ingredients and solutions aimed at developing applications aligned with the main current market demands.
Barentz arrives at the event with a focus on driving innovation through ingredients and translating trends into practical and applicable solutions. The search for balance in food is directly reflected in consumer behavior. According to Mintel data, 72% of Brazilians prefer to consume small portions of sweets daily, instead of a larger portion once a week. This movement highlights the attempt to reconcile indulgence with consumption control, without giving up the sensory experience.
Therefore, demand for products in smaller, individual portions grows, in addition to options with functional appeal, that add purpose to consumption. This scenario opens up space for the strategic use of ingredients that enable nutritional profile adjustment and maintenance of the sensorial experience., combined with the incorporation of functional ingredients such as proteins and fibers, ingredients already consolidated in consumer perception of value as support for weight management, satiety and well-being. Additionally, factors such as appetite management and the growing search for practicality reinforce the need for solutions that integrate health, convenience and indulgence, expanding the role of confectionery and snacks on different consumption occasions.
During programming, Barentz also participates in the Technical Arena, a space with a technical focus, strategic and practical, dedicated to the exchange of applied knowledge. In this environment, the company will present intelligent applications to meet the demands of today's consumer, sharing experience and real possibilities, with the aim of generating applicable learning for the industry.
With operations based on technical knowledge and proximity to the customer, Barentz reinforces its role as a strategic partner for the industry, connecting global trends, technical expertise in application and a robust portfolio of ingredients to support the development of products that are more compliant with new consumer demands.
