Kara Rosen, founder of the organic pressed juice and dairy-free nut milk brand, Plenish, reveals her predictions of the trends set to land in 2018. Go with your gut ‘Think of the gut as the finely tuned engine of a racing car. To get the fastest time on the track, you need the right fuel. […]
New research published in the International Journal of Food Science and Technology found steviol glycosides are not altered during the extraction and purification process to make high-purity stevia extract. The study was conducted at the University of Bonn in Germany, and is said to provide further evidence for the naturality of stevia. To date, more […]
Microfluidics may be the basis of a new microbiological detection method being developed by a collaboration between the Fraunhofer ICT-IMM Institute and Döhler. Food safety is always of paramount importance to food and beverage manufacturers and processors — hence the need for microbiological validation and approval of products before they leave the plant. Unfortunately this […]
Tate & Lyle PLC has opened its new co-generation plant at its corn wet milling facility in Loudon, Tennessee. The new natural gas-fired combined heat and power system, representing a US$60 million investment by Tate & Lyle, will significantly improve energy and operational efficiency at the Loudon facility, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly […]
Roquette is to build the world’s largest pea protein processing facility in Canada to keep pace with global demand for plant proteins. The 400 million CAD (US$301 million) facility in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, targets food, health and nutrition markets and bolsters Roquette’s position as a leading producer of pea protein. This large industrial unit […]
