Sweet protein, microalgae powder... Will these be the new food technologies that will dominate the future?

Recently, the Future Food Technology Summit was held in London,
, and
13 international start-ups were nominated for breakthrough innovation awards, showcasing their innovative technologies and products. Some new sugar products and solutions, natural microalgae powders with versatility and potential nutritional value, personalized nutrition customization services driven by artificial intelligence will be the core demands of future food technology...1New Generation Sugar ProductsSweet Proteins
Amai Proteins
healthy sweet protein products with zero calories and zero glycemic index from Israel, which are used as substitute sugars and are compatible with a wide range of foods and are cost-effective.sugar consumption, as the main global health challenge to human beings, has been a major concern for consumers. In tropical and subtropical countries near the equator, such as China, Malaysia, South Africa and other countries, many plants seduce animals by secreting sweet proteins that are sweeter than white sugar
3,000 times, including internationally recognized singular fruit sweet protein (thaumatin), as well as other proteins such as monellin, mabinlin, and mysterious fruit protein (miraculin). Unlike small molecule sweeteners such as stevia, sweet protein molecules can be digested in the gastrointestinal tract without causing insulin reactions or adversely affecting the body's microbiome and liver metabolism.: Food Ingredients First Amai Proteins was founded in December 2016 to break the existing sweetener market by offering new sweeteners to the mass food market. In partnership with PepsiCo's newly acquired Soda Stream, Amai Proteins has introduced different flavors of sweet soda, and 50% of the sweeteners in soda water have been switched to Amai Proteins sweet protein products to maintain their original flavor. In addition, Amai Proteins has worked with Danon and Strauss to promote the use of sweet protein in beverages and dairy products.2Sugar Solution Nutrition Innovationfrom the newly-added
Innovation Innovation is dedicated to producing healthier, less refined, lower glycemic index substitutes. Nutrition Innovation has developed a range of breakthrough food sweeteners with ingredients derived from natural ingredients such as sugar cane and protein.Photo Source: Food Ingredients First Nutrition Innovation's business model is not to produce these innovative products, but to license these solutions to global leaders in the sugar and sweetener industry so that they can serve their established customer base manufacturers.Nucane is one of a range of sweetener solutions designed specifically for industrial customers.

Triton Algae Innovations is a start-up dedicated to improving human nutritional health, developing a nutrient-rich microalgae powder that tastes good while supplementing protein, vitamin A, essential amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and other important nutrients.Photo Source:challenge facing the algae industry today is to achieve scalable, repeatable, efficient and cost-effective production on a commercial scale. However, for traditional outdoor culture production methods, weather, seasonal changes, pollutants, waste disposal and other uncontified variables often lead to the production of algae also need additional processing and purification.
Triton has developed a scalable and sustainable closed fermentation process that further stimulates the potential of this algae to produce key nutrient compounds such as collagen and hemoglobin binding proteins, which are important components of meat substitutes.microalgae powder in the food industry applications have great potential,
Triton currently introduced two different colors of green and yellow microalgae powder to adapt to different product applications, through cooperation with food enterprises, microalgae powder is well adapted to customers and market demand, microalgae powder has the versatility and potential nutritional value to make food more colorful.4other future food technologies Veg of LundImage: Veg of Lund Veg of Lund is rooted in the scientific food innovation research at Lund University, dedicated to creating all-vegetarian plant drinks for lifestyle. The patent for its invention solves the problem of non-soluble oil and water, and consumers can obtain Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid sources from potato and rapeseed oil raw materials in beverages. Based on this patent, Veg of Lund introduced my Foodie® SWE and My Foodie® two ranges of vegetarian all-plant beverages.Startchy STARTCHY is a new coating made from 100% natural products that reduces the steaming of fruits and vegetables after picking, thus maintaining the moisture of fruits and vegetables, reducing weight loss during transportation, and extending the shelf life of food.The first biopic coating developed by STARTCHY was Apple's STARTCHY, a natural starchy water mixture of natural biological products. By spraying the coated liquid on the apple, the coating limits the apple's interaction with oxygen and has an antibacterial effect that inhibits bacterial reproduction. The product has been tested in the laboratory and the results show that the coating can extend apple shelf life by up to 50 days.Photo Source: STARTCHYEderna Between 2011 and 2016, consumption of cold coffee in the United States soared by 580 percent, a trend that is growing rapidly in Europe.
