Blending Science with Local Agriculture
Hokkaido Bio-Industry Co., Ltd. is a pioneer in functional food innovation, founded in 1997 as Hokkaido’s first university-based startup.
They specialize in onion-based products made from local vegetables, using a patented thermal extraction method that boosts beneficial compounds like dipropyl trisulfide (DPTS).
Their products are backed by clinical studies showing improved blood circulation and lower levels of harmful blood fats, combining local agriculture and evidence-based health benefits.
They don’t just process food. They find new ways to use what nature already offers — helping people feel better through what they eat.
Turning Onions into Everyday Wellness
One of their most popular and unique product lines is the Onion Dressing series — onion-based dressings made from Hokkaido-grown vegetables.
Each flavor blends onions with ingredients like yuzu, horseradish, sweet corn, tomato & basil, or antioxidant-rich lychee extract.
A balanced blend of vegetable oil and savory ingredients makes these dressings both satisfying and suitable for everyday meals.
A key to their health benefits is the company’s special roasting and extraction method.
This process boosts dipropyl trisulfide — a natural compound created when onions are gently heated. It helps improve blood flow and reduce harmful fats.
By using locally grown Hokkaido onions, the company creates ingredients with up to 15 times more of this compound than raw onions — and without the strong smell.
Building the Future of Local Health Innovation
The company is expanding partnerships with universities, food producers, and farmers.
It’s focusing on developing more health-boosting ingredients from Hokkaido’s lesser-used crops and reducing food waste.
Their goal is to connect natural foods with global health needs — while staying true to their local roots and scientific credibility.
