Aokang Biotech Showcases Trihydroxyflavone (Siyegan) at FIC 2026, Creating a New Option for the Natural Sweetener Market
Recently, the 29th China International Food Additives and Ingredients Exhibition (FIC 2026) was successfully held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. As a highly influential global industry event in the field of food ingredients, this exhibition gathered numerous high-quality enterprises from both China and abroad to jointly showcase cutting-edge technologies and innovative achievements in the food additives and ingredients industry. Hunan Aokang Biotech Co., Ltd. participated in the exhibition with its core product, Machilus yunnanensis extract “Siyegan”, attracting strong attention. With its natural plant origin and high-quality sweetening properties, the product focuses on the aspartame substitution track and demonstrates the core competitiveness of domestic natural sweeteners to the industry.

At present, the food industry is increasingly developing toward health and naturalness, and consumer demand for healthy diets continues to rise. Natural and safe food ingredients have become a core direction of industry R&D and application. As sweeteners are widely used food additives in the food industry, their safety and natural properties are receiving increasing market attention. Promoting the innovation of natural sweeteners meets both the high-quality development of the industry and the upgrading of consumer demand.

Hunan Aokang Biotech Co., Ltd. focuses on the in-depth development and industrial application of Machilus yunnanensis resources. Relying on a complete industrial chain system covering cultivation, R&D, and production, the company has successfully launched “Siyegan,” a high-quality natural sweetener product. Siyegan is derived from Machilus yunnanensis and is refined through professional bio-extraction technology. It is a natural plant-derived sweet substance with advantages such as high sweetness, pure taste, and wide application scenarios. It can serve as an ideal natural sweetening option, helping food enterprises optimize product formulations and meet the market demand for healthy sweeteners.

Compared with the traditional artificial sweetener aspartame, Siyegan has a significant advantage in its natural attributes. It is derived from natural plants, and its production process follows strict food safety standards without chemical synthesis additives, aligning with consumers’ preference for natural and green food ingredients. At the same time, Siyegan has a sweet taste close to sucrose with no unpleasant aftertaste. It is suitable for beverages, baked goods, snack foods, dairy products, and other food categories. It also has good processing stability, enabling it to adapt to conventional food processing techniques and meet the sweetening needs of different product categories, providing food enterprises with a more adaptable natural sweetening solution.

At the FIC exhibition, Aokang Biotech comprehensively presented the product characteristics and application value of Siyegan through product displays, application solution explanations, and sample tastings, attracting many food manufacturers, industry clients, and professional visitors for communication. Many exhibitors recognized the natural quality and market potential of Siyegan, and multiple cooperation intentions were reached on-site, laying a solid foundation for subsequent market promotion.
In the future, as the concept of healthy consumption continues to deepen, the natural sweetener market will usher in broader development space, and natural, safe, and high-quality products will become the mainstream choice of the industry. Hunan Aokang Biotech Co., Ltd. will continue to adhere to the concept of scientific and technological innovation, deeply cultivate the field of plant extracts, continuously optimize the process and quality of Siyegan, and expand its application scenarios in the food industry. With high-quality natural sweetener products, the company aims to help upgrade the health of the food industry, provide safer and more natural sweetening solutions for the market, promote the standardized and large-scale development of the natural sweetener industry, and work with industry partners to create a new future for the food ingredients industry.
