Palm oil processors can now significantly reduce their environmental impact whilst recovering valuable by-products through a new effluent treatment system developed by Alfa Laval. The POMEVap system employs advanced evaporation technology to transform palm oil mill effluent (POME) into reusable components, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional treatment methods.
A new persimmon extract (Diospyros kaki L.f.) has demonstrated significant effects on body composition and fat mass reduction in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The ingredient, called perFix, was developed by Spanish botanical extract manufacturer Euromed using their Pure-Hydro Process water-based extraction technology.
Alfa Laval has introduced a new technology that significantly reduces biofilm formation in dairy pasteurization equipment, enabling processors to extend cleaning intervals while reducing water, chemical and energy consumption. The Extend system, which can be retrofitted to existing heat exchangers, uses low-voltage electrical current to inhibit bacterial growth on equipment surfaces.
A new plant-based protein blend designed specifically for baked goods has been launched by GoodMills Innovation. The Hamburg-based company’s GoWell Tasty Protein combines fava beans, yellow peas, sunflower seeds and wheat to achieve a 60 per cent protein content while addressing common sensory challenges in protein-enriched baking applications.
Functional ingredients manufacturer Beneo has introduced BeneoCarb S, a low-glycaemic syrup derived from sugar beet, specifically developed for semi-moist and moist pet food applications. The ingredient offers manufacturers an alternative to conventional glucose syrups and caramel colorants whilst delivering specific nutritional benefits.
Food ingredient manufacturer Roquette has introduced four new hydroxypropylated tapioca starches designed to enhance texture and stability across multiple food applications. The CLEARAM TR range, launched this month, aims to provide food manufacturers with enhanced control over product viscosity, consistency and elasticity.
Sugar beet-derived excipient manufacturer BENEO has developed a pharmaceutical-grade sweetener that combines taste-enhancement properties with technical functionality. The company’s agglomerated pharmaceutical excipient galenIQ aims to address growing market demand for palatable oral solid dosage forms in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
The German beverage technology company Krones has enhanced its Modulfill Bloc FS-C system, offering improved efficiency and flexibility for beverage manufacturers processing up to 135,000 cans per hour. The integrated block solution, which launched seven years ago, demonstrates significant advances in automated control systems and cleanroom technology.
Industry-leading ingredient specialists Tate & Lyle and CP Kelco have released comprehensive research identifying novel approaches to texture optimization in food systems. Their collaborative report, developed with Kantar, examines emerging technological capabilities in manipulating food structure and mouthfeel properties.
The collaboration aims to create next-generation sweetening ingredients using BioHarvest’s Botanical Synthesis platform, which grows plant cells to produce targeted molecules without traditional agriculture. The partnership combines Tate & Lyle’s expertise in sugar reduction with BioHarvest’s cell cultivation technology to address demands for sustainable, cost-effective plant-derived ingredients.
