√ Roquette, a global plant-based ingredients producer, and Bonumose, a provider of enzymatic solutions for rare monosaccharide production, have signed a cooperation agreement to advance the development and scalability of tagatose, a natural-origin sweetener with health benefits. √ The partnership combines Roquette's extensive experience in starch and starch-based sweetener production with Bonumose's enzymatic technology for high-purity tagatose. √ Tagatose closely matches the taste, flavour and cookability of white sugar while offering health benefits such as reduced calories and an ultra-low glycemic index. √ Tagatose, a rare monosaccaride found naturally in small quantities in dairy products and some fruits, has been clinically shown to offer health benefits over traditional sugars, it has a low glycemic index, fewer calories and may have prebiotic effects. √ However, large-scale production of high-purity tagatose has proven challenging. Bonumose's enzymatic technology, combined with Roquette's expertise in starch-based sweetener manufacturing, is expected to help overcome these obstacles. √ The partnership comes as food and beverage companies face increasing pressure to reduce sugar content in their products aimed at growing consumer demand for healthier options. Tagatose could provide a viable alternative sweetener consumer demand for healthier options. Tagatose could provide a viable alternative sweetener that delivers on taste while offering tangible health advantages. https://lnkd.in/dc8ukQzu

Sylvain chose to jump 10 years ahead and share his opinions on where the food industry will be in 2034. While the industry has seen multiples obstacles these past years with the inflation, COVID 19 and more, for 10 years, French companies thought on their feet to rethink strategies regarding innovations. Discover Sylvain’s predictions for the food industry in 2034👇 🏭 The regionalization of the food industry which broke down each of their production units to be closer to one another and to ressources (farmers, breeders, water…) and its consumers. Brands have multiples production centers in France to adapt their recipes using local products while reducing transportation and CO2 emissions. 👫 To deal with the shortages of labor force and raw materials, players of the industry collaborate together to find positive solutions while proposing consumers healthier and more durable products. 🍋 Companies are diversifying their offerings by extending their services or products. Some are not only selling products anymore but might offer services in the same sector as well. By revising their business model, brands hope to better face the challenges of their industry and to reduce negative impacts. Let’s come back in 10 years to see if Sylvain’s predictions came true!

😮 Did you know there are 2 types of fermented foods ? 😮 😎 Thanks to the European Food Information Council (EUFIC) and the #Domino project, now you do ! 🥖 🥛 This excellent article highlight 2 fermented foods categories : those containing living microbes such as yogurt, kefir, sauekraut and those that do not such as bread. 🌡 Indeed, while sourdough bread is fermented, the high temperature used during baking kills all the microbes. This is also the case for pasteurized products such as ciders or some type of cheeses. ✅ Still, fermented foods that do not contain living microbes while we eat them can still be nutritious and delicious, as the process of fermentation can be associated with other significant benefits. ➡ Detailed article : https://lnkd.in/ettcSBNz #FermentedFood #Fermentation #LivingMicrobes
