A comprehensive review published in European Food Research and Technology synthesises the current state of plant-based milk and fermented dairy alternatives, identifying substantial variability in nutritional composition across product categories and signalling clear formulation, fortification and processing priorities for the food manufacturing sector seeking to close the quality gap with conventional dairy.
Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has launched the M50 R-Series AdvancedLine metal detectors, a new generation of food safety inspection equipment engineered to address higher audit expectations, faster line speeds and the growing demand for seamless data transfer between production and quality systems.
A new consumer survey from Meatless, a brand of BENEO, indicates that hybrid meat products combining animal protein with plant-based ingredients are gaining ground among UK shoppers. The research points to authentic meat taste, premium quality signals and high-protein positioning as the decisive purchase drivers, with sausages emerging as the format most likely to convert […]
WITT Gasetechnik has launched the LEAK-MASTER ONE, an inline leak testing system for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) that detects micro-leaks down to approximately 10 micrometres while inspecting individual packs at production line speed. The system targets one of the most persistent sources of quality loss, consumer complaints and food waste in chilled and ambient MAP […]
Austria Juice has introduced a patent-pending yeast fermentation system that lowers sugars and calories in 100% fruit juice by at least 30%, without artificial sweeteners or off-flavours. The Allhartsberg-based concentrate specialist is positioning apple, orange and multifruit concentrates as plug-and-play solutions for CPG brands preparing for the amended EU Breakfast Directive, which takes effect on […]
Fortress Technology has launched the Raptor Tritek, a fully integrated metal detector, checkweigher and vision inspection system housed within a single 2.5-metre stainless steel frame – a combination that promises to cut floor space, reduce contamination risk and simplify compliance for food processors operating under HACCP, BRCGS, GFSI and IFS frameworks.
A landmark survey of 212 plant-based products purchased from UK retailers has detected mycotoxin contamination in every single sample tested, including meat alternatives and beverages. The findings, published 1 May 2026 in Food Control, carry significant implications for food safety regulation, raw material monitoring, and manufacturing practices across the plant-based food sector.
A platinum electrode and a voltage sweep may soon replace the cupping table for routine coffee quality control. Researchers at the University of Oregon have demonstrated that cyclic voltammetry can simultaneously quantify beverage strength and roast colour in undiluted black coffee – without sample preparation – opening a credible path to instrument-based flavour assessment for […]
Zürich-based food technology company SentiaNova has publicly launched a patented pre-processing technology that removes off-flavours from pulse proteins at source. Independent sensory evaluation by a panel of 12 trained evaluators confirms the pea protein concentrate outperforms leading de-flavoured benchmarks, while application testing demonstrates a 15 per cent reduction in formulation cost. Commercial volumes are planned […]
