The food industry has a bright future ahead of it. Future Food-Tech's message was clearly heard at the event.
The event celebrated innovation in food and beverage manufacturing at all stages, from start-ups to experts.
Food safety, sustainability, and wellness were the standout trends. The food industry was at the forefront, working to create a more sustainable and safer supply chain and to support consumer health.
Chemometric Brain: A powerful tool for detecting fake food
The food industry is working to combat fake food. Chemometric Brain is the solution. This intelligent software can analyze food packaging to confirm that it is what it claims to be. It can help ensure brands maintain the quality of their product by verifying ingredient levels.
Food safety shouldn't be a barrier for businesses, but rather a tool that helps them improve their production and control. Jacob Kristensen Illan is Vice President of Digital Food Quality at Chemometric Brain.
Food safety becomes more efficient with Sensip dx
Food safety is also a major concern for the industry, and manufacturers attach great importance to it. What's the problem? The production process is slowed down by relatively slow safety checks. Sensip dx is here to help. With its innovative technology, the Dutch startup improves food safety. Founded at Maastricht University, its technology uses polymers printed on metal discs. The sensor measures temperature to detect bacterial binding. This sensor can detect both live and dead bacteria. It also provides results in 15 minutes.
Sensip CEO Jaap Drenth said that "rapid results increase the value of food production."
Blackbear is a fresh produce eater
The smart startup is breaking the "use by" rules by creating an app that can determine the freshness of produce. This is a major step forward in the fight against food waste, as it can determine whether a product is still edible.
Max Grell, CEO of BlakBear, said: "One-third of food is wasted." BlakBear is a direct food measurement system. We want it to be algorithmically efficient.
We're not the only ones who think this is an interesting new invention. Most of the show's visitors do too, as the British startup won the Innovation Award at the show.
HuMOLYTE: Hydration during chemotherapy
HuMOLYTE is one of those rare products that stops you in your tracks and makes you want to know more. Why? We all wish we never needed it, but we'll appreciate it if and when we do. You may be wondering why we don't want to use it. It's because it helps chemotherapy patients stay hydrated. Cancer is a disease that affects us all, directly or indirectly. It's encouraging to see how the food and beverage industry is innovating to help patients during their treatments.
HuMOLYTE helps during chemotherapy. HuMOLYTE can help during chemotherapy. Chemotherapy treatments can cause diarrhea and dehydration, as well as electrolyte loss and intestinal damage. HuMOLYTE is a sports drink that aims to heal the damaged gastrointestinal cell wall. It increases mucin production in intestinal cells, which will help improve symptoms. The creators claim it helps keep cells together, and the magnesium-rich electrolyte blend hydrates the entire body.
HuMOLYTE, a patented electrolyte blend, is designed to minimize vomiting, diarrhea, and canker sores that cancer patients experience during chemotherapy, according to Dr. Sourabh Khrait, founder and CEO of IGH Naturals.
Plant-based foods promote gut health through fermentation
MATR Foods combines two of the world's most popular food trends by creating plant-based foods that are good for the gut. How? You asked. The new ingredient is created by combining organic grains, beans, and vegetables with the traditional art of mushroom fermentation.
Mushrooms are responsible for everything, whether we call it nature's magic or the science of fermentation. Randi Wahlsten is the CEO of MATR Foods. She said that at the beginning of fermentation, the mushroom roots, or hyphae, spread through our ingredients. This binds all the ingredients together, creating a naturally umami flavor.
Perfat Technologies offers healthy semi-solid fats
Jyrki Le-Korhonen and Jyrki Korhonen, CEO and co-founder of Perfat Technologies, presented their product at the Future Food-Tech conference in London. Finnish startup Perfat Technologies has created a fat with high nutritional value that can be used as a healthier alternative to traditional fats such as butter or palm oil.
We wanted to create a grease with the features required for various food applications. Perfat was designed to offer a neutral flavor, uncompromising mouthfeel, and customizable hardness.
