Arla Foods Ingredients has developed a range of high-protein, nutrient-dense food and beverage concepts designed to address the nutritional challenges faced by users of GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1) anti-obesity medications. The solutions will be presented at Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona (5–7 May 2026).
Researchers at Zhejiang University have identified four key volatile compounds in citrus essential oils responsible for measurable emotional benefits, using a novel combination of electroencephalography, autonomic nervous system monitoring, and flavoromics analysis. The findings open new avenues for functional food design and nutraceutical applications targeting emotional wellbeing.
A synergistic system combining dielectric barrier discharge plasma with a chiral titanium dioxide/sodium alginate composite film has demonstrated significant advances in postharvest cherry tomato preservation, reducing microbial counts, extending shelf life by more than four days, and degrading chlorpyrifos pesticide residues to 65.86% – well below regulatory limits – without chemical preservatives.
UK biotech Clean Food Group (CFG), the world’s largest yeast-derived oils and fats manufacturer, has confirmed a £4.5 million investment led by Clean Growth Fund and New Agrarian, alongside a £700,000 non-dilutive grant from Innovate UK, to accelerate the scale-up of its fermentation manufacturing facility in Knowsley, Liverpool.
SIRIO Europe has announced Aeion, a science-led supplement platform comprising eight ready-to-launch longevity concepts designed to support long-term healthy ageing through daily, repeatable nutritional rituals.
Karsten Smet, CEO of ACI Group, investigates the complex physiological, neurobiological, and sensory mechanisms that govern satiety – revealing why food formulation, far beyond calorie content, determines how effectively a product regulates appetite. Drawing on emerging research into olfactory-neural pathways, hormonal signalling, and macronutrient functionality, he makes the case for ingredient-led design strategies that align […]
As GLP-1 medications reshape consumption patterns at scale, Greg Holgate investigates how appetite suppression is forcing food and beverage manufacturers to fundamentally reconsider formulation strategy, ingredient selection and value creation – shifting the commercial imperative away from volume towards nutritional efficiency and demanding that reformulation moves from tactical response to long-term strategic priority.
BIOGRUND has integrated Seprify’s cellulose ingredient SilvaAlba™ into ready-made coating systems, offering nutraceutical manufacturers a mineral-free, clean-label alternative to titanium dioxide (E171) and calcium carbonate (E170).
A US physicians’ organisation has filed a formal legal petition urging the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to mandate cancer warning labels on processed meat and poultry products – a move that could have significant implications for food labelling standards and the wider meat processing industry.
FrieslandCampina Ingredients has completed a major capacity expansion at its Borculo facility in the Netherlands, doubling production of both whey protein isolate (WPI) and milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) ingredients to meet accelerating global demand across the sports, early life, active, and medical nutrition sectors.
