Innovative Trends and Technologies Shaping the Packaged Food Market
Key players in the packaged food sector are increasingly investing in cutting-edge technologies to enhance product appeal and meet evolving consumer demands. One notable innovation is succulencePB, a taste technology designed to improve the flavor and moisture levels of plant-based meat substitutes.

For example, in March 2023, Kerry Group PLC, an Ireland-based food and ingredients company, introduced succulencePB. This fat-based solution can replace certain oils and fats on a 1:1 basis in product formulations, enabling significant reductions or complete elimination of tropical oils like coconut or palm oil. This advancement improves the sustainability profile and clean-label status of plant-based meats, while also addressing a common drawback-dry mouth sensation in cooked plant-based meat alternatives. By enhancing both nutrition and environmental impact, succulencePB represents a major step forward in plant-based food innovation.
