📝New report📝Fat is key to the flavour and functionality of many foods, and alternative proteins are no exception. It's an area ripe for innovation, especially when production of some of the most commonly used fats, particularly saturated ones, cause problems for the health of people and the planet. Finding new ways of making tasty, sustainable, healthy fats is therefore a key priority for many startups and researchers working to produce next-generation plant-based, fermentation-made and cultivated meat, seafood, eggs and dairy. This new report from Anthony Warner at New Food Innovation Ltd takes a deep dive into fat in food – what it is, why we need it, the problems it presents and emerging innovations in future-proof fat production.
