Vitafoods Europe 2026 (the 2026 European International Nutrition & Health Food Exhibition) is held in Barcelona, Spain from May 5 to 7. This year's exhibition scale has expanded by 20% compared with previous sessions, gathering more than 1,600 exhibitors and over 30,000 industry professionals from approximately 135 countries and regions. The education program of this exhibition focuses on science-driven holistic solutions. With gut health regarded as the foundation of overall health, "healthspan" has become one of the core topics. Bioactive substances derived from seaweed are currently one of the research hotspots in the fields of functional food and cosmetics. Existing literature reports that they may have functional activities such as scavenging free radicals and alleviating oxidative stress, and some studies have touched on the association between such substances and aging-related biomarkers at the cellular or animal level. Shandong Jiejing Group Corporation presented its core seaweed products at this exhibition, which aligns with the industry trend.

Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid extracted from brown algae. Domestic and foreign literature reports that it has a certain research basis from in vitro and animal experiments, with research mainly focusing on lipid metabolism, antioxidant stress and other directions.

Fucoidan is a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from brown algae. In the scientific research field, studies on its relationship with intestinal microecology have attracted much attention. Some in vitro and animal experiments have observed that fucoidan shows certain potential effects in regulating the structure of intestinal flora, and scientific literature also mentions various action mechanisms involved in this process.

Sodium Alginate and Propylene Glycol Alginate: Align with the clean label trend of food ingredients and boost plant-based applications. Against the background of the continuous development of the simple and clean label trend in the global food industry, sodium alginate and propylene glycol alginate products provide texture stabilization solutions for plant-based foods and plant protein beverage systems.

Founded in 1968, Jiejing Group has long been focusing on the field of deep processing of seaweed. Relying on years of technical accumulation and full-product-chain capabilities, Jiejing Group expects to, through the main products presented this time, continuously deepen supply chain cooperation with European customers, provide global customers with marine-derived active ingredients and their application solutions, and promote the achievements of the seaweed industrial chain to benefit a broader market.
