Our company's commitment to carbohydrate research resulted in Hayashibara becoming the first company in the world to commercially manufacture glucose enzymatically from starch; something achieved in 1959. This revolutionary process became the industry standard internationally.

Our commitment to research led to us developing other innovative carbohydrate based products for the food industry such as high purity maltose, a reducing low-sweetness disaccharide; pullulan, a natural printable film forming polysaccharide; crystalline maltitol, the polyol of choice for sugar-free chocolate and confectionery, isoamylase, a highly effective starch breakdown enzyme, lactosucrose, a prebiotic sugar; crystalline trehalose a low-sweetness highly stable disaccharide with similar properties to sucrose; and other speciality syrups. We continue in this endeavour and are currently developing speciality sugars and ingredients including prebiotic sugars, reduced calorie and low cariogenic sugars. Our products include:
