2021: The year of wanting more
The year 2021 tested our patience. It was a year of restrictions — coming, going, returning and for some, resisting — that made consumers expect more out of everything, including food.
Working with Mother Nature
The concept of building better food involves the use of trusted ingredient technologies provided by Mother Nature.
Formulating for positive label claims
We live in a world where consumers seek out varied product attributes up and down the food supply chain.
Sustainability includes taking steps to prevent unnecessary food waste
The most often cited definition for sustainable development comes from the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development.
For today’s consumers, ‘experiencing more’ matters
Even before the exhilaration of returning to gatherings that include food and other events, consumers were looking to get more out of what they do and buy.
Enhancing food quality, safety and sustainability without compromise
While the food shopping experience has become filled with more choices over the years, product integrity is still paramount.
Rooted in innovation: Plant-based alternatives set to grow alongside traditional proteins
Driven by concerns about health, wellness and sustainability – not to mention a taste for variety – a strikingly large number of consumers are interested in trying and purchasing more plant-based foods, including meat alternatives.
Effective extracts for high-growth categories
Just as plants need the right conditions to thrive – like soil, sunlight, water and nourishment – food products need ingredients that support and enhance texture, freshness and taste.
Where do we go from here?
Shifting channels, changing consumer habits and expanded definitions spark new opportunities for meat and poultry.
Fermentation: A natural tool for meat preservation, food safety and flavor enhancement
Many methods of food preservation are effective, but few are as long-established as fermentation. The natural process, in which microbial enzymes act on and convert a substrate, has been used for millennia, dating back to ancient Mesopotamia and the making of bread and beer.
