Spotlight on Innovation Dutch businesses are continually developing new concepts, research methods and packaging solutions. The website www.dutchfoodinnovations.com puts the spotlight on the latest innovations from the agri-food industry. Take a look at five of the latest innovations.
Alginate Technology for Co-extrusion Ruitenberg Ingredients introduces RudinVegaCasing, a special ‘skinless’ casing, which simultaneously forms and protects sausages in a co-extrusion process. The new casing is an edible sausage skin
Upcycling Vegetable Waste to Fibers and Juices
from a seaweed extract paste. It completely integrates with the sausage when cooked in water. This solution eliminates the need to remove the casing before eating, yet provides the look and bite of a peeled sausage. Products like frankfurters and hotdogs can be cooked and packaged in a continuous in-line co-extrusion process which is fast, hygienic, and waste free. The casing is suitable for application in all co-extrusion lines currently available to the industry. Recent casing innovations target new market segments such as water-cooked sausages and breakfast sausages (to be deepfried directly from the freezer). The technology can also be applied in the vegetarian, vegan, cheese and fish industries. .................................................................................www.ruitenberg.com
Provalor has developed a unique technology for extracting juice from vegetable waste. Creating products from industrial byproducts spawns innovative technologies, fosters new partnerships in the production chain, generates new business, and benefits the environment. The technology developed so far separates the vegetable stream into liquid and solid fractions. The liquid fraction is used in juices, soups and sauces. The solid fraction is further upgraded to high-quality dietary fibers. These are applied in bread, meat products, sauces, pancakes, and so on, adding value as insoluble dietary fiber which is good for gut health. 04
