At CarbExplore, our passion for innovation and sustainability drives everything we do. Through years of research and expertise in functional carbohydrates, we’ve become a trusted partner in creating healthier, more sustainable ingredients for food and personal care industries, contributing to a better future for all.
Carbohydrates are one of the most important components of the foods we eat, playing a vital role in nutrition, food structure, and even taste. CarbExplore uses enzymes and fermentation to modify carbohydrates in a sustainable way, replacing chemical treatments with mild, green and bio-based processes. The resulting modified carbohydrates are healthier and more functional in end-products.
Some of our enzymes modify carbohydrates to be more slowly digestible, minimizing glucose peaks after ingestion. Other enzymes modify carbohydrates even further so that they become resistant to digestion, making them dietary fibers and prebiotics that feed our gut microbiome.
Besides being healthy, these modified carbohydrates fulfill another function in end applications. Their modified structure gives rise to altered rheological behaviour, impacting mouth feel, taste and food texture.
At CarbExplore, we offer specialized services in carbohydrate research and development. From tailored ingredient solutions to contract research, our expertise helps partners innovate and bring high-performing, sustainable products to market.

From 2016 to 2020, CarbExplore partnered with Nestlé, the University of Groningen, and Purdue University to advance enzyme technology and develop functional carbohydrates with significant health benefits. This collaboration resulted in innovative solutions that contribute to healthier food products and align with the growing demand for clean-label, sustainable ingredients.
