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 […]
Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has launched the M50 R-Series AdvancedLine metal detectors, a platform engineered for food manufacturers contending with tighter audit requirements, faster line speeds and increasing pressure for digital traceability. Combining AI-based machine learning algorithms, multi-simultaneous frequency technology and embedded Wi-Fi connectivity, the series aims to raise detection sensitivity whilst reducing false reject rates […]
As the food industry fixates on cultivated meat and precision fermentation, Dr Briony Sayers, ACI Group, argues that the most impactful lever for sustainable protein transition may already be within reach. She examines the science and commercial logic behind partial meat substitution — and makes the case that incremental reformulation, applied at scale, could deliver […]
New research from the southwestern Brazilian Amazon demonstrates that selecting the right cocoa clone and post-harvest processing method can significantly enhance the functional and nutritional quality of cocoa beans – findings with far-reaching implications for the specialty chocolate and functional food industries.
Kerry has opened an expanded biotechnology manufacturing hub in Carrigaline, Co. Cork, significantly increasing its industrial-scale lactase enzyme production capacity to serve dairy producers across more than 80 countries.
TNA Solutions will preview its tna vacuum de-oiler at Interpack 2026, offering potato chip manufacturers a method to reduce total fat content from approximately 32–35% to the low 20% range – without reheating chips or compromising texture and flavour.
