Innovative Technologies Shaping the Future of Packaged Food
Innovation remains a critical factor in the packaged food market, with companies pursuing novel technologies to boost product appeal and sustainability. One such advancement is succulencePB, a taste technology designed to enhance plant-based meat substitutes by improving their flavor and moisture levels.
For instance, in March 2023, Kerry Group PLC from Ireland introduced succulencePB, a fat solution that can replace certain oils and fats on a one-to-one basis. By enabling the significant reduction or elimination of tropical oils such as coconut and palm oil, succulencePB promotes a cleaner label and better environmental profile for plant-based meats. This technology not only improves nutrition and sustainability but also solves the common issue of dryness in cooked plant-based meat alternatives.
