Annegret Bögner, is an expert in nutrition and regulatory affairs at J. Rettenmaier & Söhne (JRS), Germany, one of the world's leading innovators in plant-based fiber technology. Holding a master's degree in Nutrition and Home Economics (Oecotrophology) from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, she combines scientific expertise with regulatory and industry knowledge.With extensive experience in nutrition science and food regulation, her work lies at the crossroads of dietary fiber research, functional food development, and international regulatory frameworks. By translating emerging scientific insights into commercially viable and regulatory-compliant solutions, she plays a key role in advancing the application of dietary fibers in modern nutrition. Her current interests focus on the fermentability and physiological effects of insoluble dietary fiber, particularly its potential to support gut health and contribute to the prevention of metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Through her presentations at scientific conferences, she actively fosters dialogue between science and industry and advocates for practical, evidence-driven solutions to address the global dietary fiber intake gap.
