An Upcycled Certified™ ingredient, Arrabina™-P is sourced in accordance with the principles of our Sourcing4Good programme, which promotes responsible practices and improves producer livelihoods and the environmental footprints of our products. Derived from underutilised plant materials, Arrabina™-P actively contributes to creating a more sustainable food system.
Sourcing for Arrabina™-P takes place through partnerships with farmers throughout Denmark who can deliver organic and non-GMO crop sidestreams, benefiting both the environment and the agricultural community. These long-term relationships enable continuous improvement and ensure high-quality ingredients.
The production process used to create Arrabina™-P is designed to minimize environmental impact. We utilize biomass for steam, wind energy for power, and maintain low water usage throughout the manufacturing process. Arrabina™-P is produced through a proprietary extraction process that uses only water, steam, and pressure, making it a low-impact ingredient choice.
Arrabina™-P is an Upcycled Certified™ ingredient (UI), having successfully met the stringent criteria established by the Upcycled Certified™ Program Standards Committee, under the supervision of the Upcycled Foods Association. This certification enables customers to streamline their applications for products that include Upcycled Certified™ Ingredients (PUI), provided that their formulations contain a minimum of 10% Arrabina™-P.
The sourcing and production methods used to create Arrabina™-P lead to a lower carbon footprint as assessed by Planet FWD, a leader in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) industry. Planet FWD measured the complete cradle-to-gate life cycle carbon emissions of Arrabina™-P, comparing it to other similar dietary fibres. Their results showed Arrabina™-P’s carbon footprint to be five times lower than chicory root-based inulin.¹¹
