In order to jointly create future food and beverage items for the European market, MycoTechnology and IFF have formed a collaboration.
The world’s foremost researcher of mycelia, or the “root system” of mushrooms, is a US-based company called MycoTechnology. With the new arrangement, it will be able to take use of IFF’s RE-IMAGINE PROTEIN® innovation initiative and utilize its cutting-edge Brabrand, Denmark facilities, including its Culinary Design Center, which offers specialist knowledge in cutting-edge plant-based food products.
The new relationship between the two businesses in Europe underlines their common commitment to partnership and innovation in the service of a sustainable food system. The two businesses have already collaborated in the US.
Through a unique liquid fermentation platform, MycoTechnology exploits the potential of mycelia to create novel components. It has collaborated with food and beverage businesses since its creation in 2013 to develop products that are nutritious, sustainable, and delicious.
In the fields of food, drink, health, biosciences, and smell, IFF is a market leader. With the use of market-driven innovation and insights, its Nourish business provides cutting-edge protein sources and future technologies for plant-based cuisines all over the world. The Company helps the industry produce better, tastier, safer, healthier, and more sustainable food and drinks by anticipating and answering consumer needs.
The firms intend to create fresh, cutting-edge solutions for food and beverage goods across Europe by integrating MycoTechnology’s revolutionary mycelial fermentation platform with IFF’s technical proficiency and skills.
MycoTechnology’s CEO, Alan Hahn, said: “This new level of cooperation is quite exciting. The IFF is aware of the value of innovation and how to use it to create a better, more sustainable food system. We are excited to set out on a new adventure together as we develop the innovative solutions that today’s consumers expect for sustainability, flavor, and nutrition.”
The two businesses keep looking for fresh ways to grow their collaboration. They are now collaborating on a project in the Asia-Pacific region and anticipate expanding their cooperation there in the future.
