NutriLeads BV, a developer of plant-based, precision prebiotic fibers, announced a collaboration with dsm-firmenich to explore potential applications for its prebiotic fiber BeniCaros® in pet nutrition. Benicaros is a natural prebiotic fiber derived from upcycled carrot pomace, a byproduct of carrot juicing. The companies plan to enter an exclusive global partnership to develop and distribute Benicaros for the pet food market if current microbiome studies in cats and dogs yield the expected results. “We see tremendous potential for Benicaros to optimize pet health and longevity by enhancing digestive and immune health,” said Joana Carneiro-Wakefield, Ph.D., CEO of NutriLeads. “The global pet food market is expected to reach $175 billion in annual sales by 2027,” added Pierre-Alain Ceralli, senior vice president, Petfood Business with dsm-firmenich.
