IFU International Fruit and Vegetable Juice Association

🎉 A big congratulations to San Miguel Global from Tucuman, Argentina, for winning the IFU Innovation Award at the Juice Summit 2024! 🎉 Their innovative product, Lemon PectoFiber, has been recognized for its remarkable contributions to the fruit and vegetable juice industry. Here’s why Lemon PectoFiber stood out: 🌱 Sustainability: By repurposing lemon by-products like peels and pulp, this innovation minimizes waste and champions eco-friendly, circular economy practices. 💡 Versatility: Acting as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, and fat replacement, Lemon PectoFiber improves food texture, extends shelf life, and supports reduced calorie content. 💪 Health Benefits: With its rich content of dietary fiber, pectin, bioflavonoids, and antioxidants, it promotes both gut health and overall wellness. 🌍 Broad Market Applications: Its functional and bioactive properties make it highly valuable across the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. San Miguel’s dedication to sustainability, health, and innovation sets a new benchmark for the industry. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement! 👏 Thank you Aintzane Esturo for presenting the award to Gianina Cauhape, together with Tatiana Campos, MBA and Kees Cools! #JuiceSummit2024 #InnovationAward #SanMiguel #LemonPectoFiber #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #IFUAward #HealthInnovation
