The award was presented to DKSH for the innovative product Cluster Dextrin®, produced by Glico, DKSH's valued business partner. DKSH provides Market Expansion Services to Glico Nutrition and exclusively distributes its products to the food and beverage industry in China.
Cluster Dextrin® is a functional carbohydrate that provides quick and sustainable energy to significantly enhance performance during exercise and sports. It is made from non-GMO waxy corn starch utilizing Glico's original enzyme technique. Cluster Dextrin® is highly uniform in its molecular structure, highly water-soluble and the solution allows a quick supply through the stomach into the intestine. Compared to traditional carbohydrate sources like glucose and dextrose, Cluster Dextrin® is clinically proven to enhance stamina, reduce intestinal discomfort and fatigue as well as suppress inflammatory stress.
At the ceremony, 26 innovative product entries were awarded by an independent panel of judges from around 66 submissions. The event saw a further annual increase in the number of participants and reflects the importance of the awards program in the industry. In July, DKSH also received the “Ringier Technology Innovation Award 2020 – Personal Care Industry (Category: Functional Ingredients – Actives)”, further cementing the company's position as a leading innovator across multiple industries.
