Food meets High-Tech

What will the food system of the future look like? And what will be the role of food technology? Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) play a dominant role in steering manufacturing processes? To increase efficiency by preventing the maintenance and reducing failure costs? Which alternatives are out there to increase food safety? And how can we assure the required transparency in the food chain? The fact is, in 2050 over 9 billion people have to rely on food security. To make this happen the food industry needs to produce more efficiently, effectively, sustainably, and perhaps very differently.

New technologies and expanding scientific insights are emerging at an increasing pace.

While these offer many new opportunities for innovation to the food industry, that industry is operating in a less predictable society, facing the tremendous task to feed a growing population while reducing the environmental impact. The food industry is facing the challenge of how to develop attractive products with the right balance between taste, nutritional functionality and minimal environmental impact while responding to the growing need for targeted and more personalised solutions in taste and nutrition.

Building local sustainable markets for Plant Based Ingredients by means of thermal cooking

Demand for Plant based, sustainable Food products is booming. Key success factors for success in the long run for these functional ingredients, are excellent taste, affordability and sustainability.

Technological know-how and experience, has opened ways to produce Ingredients with the right functionalities and the best sensorial experience that address current trends.

Less processed raw materials can be turned into high performing components by mechanical means, for instance air classified protein concentrates into top quality Textured Plant Proteins. By selection of local crops, a minimal environmental impact and hence sustainable footprint can be achieved. The thermal treatment combines cooking and mixing through low water consuming and highly Energy efficient processes, which minimizes carbon footprint and make the process Planet Proof. Food Safety is secured under closed and stable, controlled conditions. Processing conditions can be adjusted to create Ingredients addressing today’s challenges, such as: mouthfeel & texture of Textured Plant Proteins, Crumbs with a Bite and Pregel flours with specific solubility and viscosity profiles.

Codrico’s industrial set up in the Logistical heart of Europe’s largest harbor, assures a highly cost efficient production to supply the European Food market.
