Alchemy Fibre Sugar, Carb and GI Reduction Ingredients

Alchemy Foodtech is a Singapore-based food innovation company founded in 2015 that supplies functional ingredients to food companies. It addresses the rise of obesity and diabetes linked to high-sugar, high-GI diets by letting manufacturers and food-service brands make familiar foods healthier without changing taste or texture.

Its patented fibre-based technology, Alchemy Fibre and Alchemy SweetFibre, is built on a database of plant-based fibres and starch sources and tested across cooking and manufacturing conditions. Blends are tailored to rice, noodles, breads, beverages, confectionery, ice cream, yoghurt, soups and sauces to cut sugar, digestible carbohydrate and glycaemic index. The newest line, Alchemy FibreGrain, is a fibre-rich grain-shaped kernel that can be mixed with regular rice, with immunity and cognitive fortified versions. The company works with SMEs, quick-service restaurants and manufacturers in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and China.

Governments in Asia are tightening sugar labelling and health promotion, and consumers increasingly look for lower-sugar and lower-GI options. Rice-based diets make GI reduction particularly relevant in Southeast Asia, where food manufacturers and restaurant chains are reformulating staples and desserts to meet health-conscious demand.
