BRABRAND, Denmark, Aug. 3, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- IFF (NYSE:IFF) today announced the opening of its
new Culinary Design Center, which provides specialized plant-based
expertise to global cuisine creators, and allows for the
co-creation of new product experiences to satiate rapidly growing
consumer demand for novel plant-based foods. Designed to shorten
the time from ideation to commercialization, the new Culinary
Design Center features a high-end pilot manufacturing site for
plant-based foods and a studio for livestreaming and performing
remote sensory evaluations.
"The new facility connects customers from around the world with
IFF's team of experts, providing them direct access to our broad
expertise and capabilities, ranging from texture to taste, allowing
us to deliver new plant-based solutions faster," said Marcus Pesch, vice president of the IFF
RE-IMAGINE programs. "The Culinary Design Center is part of a
global network of IFF's RE-PROTEIN® Innovation
Program."
The opening of the Culinary Design Center is timely with
Euromonitor's projection of double-digit growth in plant-based food
and beverages segment in Europe in
the years ahead, as consumers seek healthier, more sustainable
diets. At the facility, the IFF team of scientists and culinary
experts will leverage livestreaming capabilities, bringing
customers along for every stage of the development process from the
pilot plant, to the top of the line demonstration kitchen. After
experiencing how IFF's deep scientific expertise will perform in
real-world kitchens, customers will receive product samples to
taste during expert-led remote sensory sessions.
"Our technical experts have already created some of the
best-tasting meat and dairy alternatives, and we are excited to
continue pushing the envelope in plant-based innovations," said Pernille Bak
Høstrup, IFF's culinary design director for ingredients in
Europe and head of the Culinary
Design Center.
Through our exploratory development work at the Culinary Design
Center, IFF and its customers will deliver the next generation of
delicious, plant-based foods to consumer tables around the
world.
