Spotted❗ Food Business News, a top US food industry publication, just spotlighted our newest revyve ingredient! The innovation is turning heads in the food world as we mimic the properties of egg whites in burgers. 🍔 Our chief technology officer and co-founder, Edgar Suarez Garcia, PhD, explains the science behind the revyve ingredient: “When cooked in a patty mixture, revyve becomes firm yet springy, forming a binding network around the other ingredients. revyve’s secret lies in the unique combination of functional proteins and fibers created by our patented technology. Manufacturers appreciate that when paired with other ingredients, revyve can eliminate the need for methylcellulose, which has numerous functional and labeling downsides.” Our sincere thanks to Brooke Just for this excellent coverage!🤗 Full article 🔗👉https://lnkd.in/d8xRdaBf We're excited to showcase this technology at the upcoming IFT event in Chicago next week.

🏷️ Marc Coloma, CEO & Co-Founder of Heura Foods, says clean labeling is a fundamental principle guiding his work. 🗺️ “Consumers seek transparency in labeling, driven by concerns for health, sustainability, and access to information. This trend reflects a broader shift in consumer preferences toward informed, conscious choices in food purchases.” But, Marc adds, “We need to shift the pressure off consumers and bring it to the industry. We need to be the ones assuring the products we deliver are respecting the environment and people’s health – and not relying on animals to do so." 📰 Hear more from Marc and others in our full feature on clean labels in the latest edition of Protein Production Technology International. 🔗https://hubs.ly/Q02D0q-K0 #cleanlabel #ingredients #alternativeprotein #plantbased

Price parity is key! But what are the opportunities and what could be the economic impacts? If plant-based and animal-based products were priced equally, it would be a win-win for producers/brands, retailers, consumers, and the overall plant-based market. In our latest ProVeg New Food Hub article, we examine the economic implications, potential market shifts, consumer behaviours, and industry dynamics that could result from more competitive pricing of plant-based products. Read on to gain actionable insights geared towards retailers and brands ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02B60dx0 #ProVeg #NewFoodHub #PriceParity #PlantBasedMarket

"I don't think we can say the age of disruptive innovation is over. It's more of a short-term pause and necessary clean out." Jeff Grogg was featured in an article earlier this summer 📰https://hubs.li/Q02L4_ZB0 addressing innovation in today's market. With larger companies shifting strategy to improve core offerings and away from attempting a category disruption, some experts think the market is moving towards a much needed moment of reassessment and refocus. This paves the way for smaller companies (with the right support) to continue to take risks that larger companies can't and focus their efforts on a few categories ready for a needed disruption. We know the road to successful innovation can be fast-paced and exciting, but more than a bit confusing if you don't have the right strategy tools handy. Be sure to follow us if you'd like to learn more about successful innovation strategies you can use right now! 👍 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) #FoodandBeverage #CPGIndustry #Innovation #DisruptiveInnovation
