What texture innovations can we implement in foods and beverages to create more consumer-centric and in-demand products that encourage repeat purchases.
Textures of the Future with iNewtritioninewtrition
Texture plays a huge role in the consumer's food and drink experience and often second only to taste, it can be the deciding factor in liking or disliking a product.
From an industry perspective, investing in texture will provide value propositions that satisfy the needs of your consumers, so we need to be able to measure its success when developing or modifying products.
How can we do this? Two ways:
1. Rheology: we describe the sample structure and flow behaviour.
2. Texture Analysis: we study or mimic the act of biting using Texture Profile Analysis (TPA).
It's important to combine the instrumental data which brings a deeper understanding of the structure, with a consumer analysis to provide a more subjective perspective.
We have a full deck on texture studies for food innovation and are happy to discuss in the context of your brand or #npd plans. Reach out to discuss: info@inewtrition.com or send me a PM on LinkedIn.

Data analytics to accelerate food product development and innovationinewtrition
Let's start building "Food-as-a-Software" model, where foods are engineered by scientists at a molecular level and uploaded to databases that can be accessed by food designers anywhere in the world. This will result in a far more distributed, localized food-production system that is more stable and resilient than the one it replaces. The new production system will be shielded from volume and price volatility due to the vagaries of seasonality, weather, drought, disease and other natural, economic, and political factors. Geography will no longer offer any competitive advantage. We will move from a centralized system dependent on scarce resources to a distributed system based on abundant resources

Module 8 Sensory Analysis and Consumer Testing.pptxcaniceconsulting
The way we perceive food, from a sensory point of view, is determined by the five human senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. The success of food greatly depends on the extent to which their sensory quality appeals to the target population.
Other benefits such as the health aspects may enhance the perceived value of the food but can be largely useless if the sensory qualities are unattractive.
…”You can tell me its good for me but that’s no good if it looks, tastes & feels like cardboard!”
Globally, it is estimated that over US$1.2 trillion of food is lost
or wasted across the food supply chain, equivalent to 1.6 billion
tons of food per annum.
“In Australia, it is estimated that $20 billion
worth of food is lost or wasted per annum, ...”
an estimated 7.3 million tonnes across the entire Australian
supply and consumption chain.
Fresh produce is a vital component of human health. Yet many
Australian adults fail to meet national guidelines on fresh produce
consumption, risking adverse health effects. Therefore, it is
imperative for strategies to be deployed which ensure access
for consumers to fresh, nutritious food, rather than allowing it
to be wasted.
Packaging plays an important role in the integrity and protection
of food as it travels through supply chains from farm, through
retail, to plate.
“The trade-off between food waste and
packaging is a delicate balance; more
packaging can result in less food waste
and therefore less impacts.”
The impact of this extra packaging must also be considered to
develop the optimal packaging-to-food ratio.
In light of these issues, the Australian Fresh Produce Alliance
(AFPA), made up of 14 of Australia’s key fresh produce growers
and suppliers, sought to provide key stakeholders with an
objective and evidence-based understanding of the value that
packaging provides within the life cycle of fresh produce. AFPA
engaged Empauer and RMIT University to examine the role
of packaging in minimising food waste whilst ensuring quality
produce reaches consumers.
RMIT University is one of Australia’s largest Universities and
is considered a leader in technology, design, global business,
communication, global communities, health solutions and
urban sustainable futures. Empauer is a leading sustainability
consultancy focussed on providing organisations with information
to make better decisions, convert those decisions to actions,
and deliver the business outcomes they desire.
The project was specifically concerned with the following:
• Mapping the life cycle of 10 fresh produce items, both with
and without packaging. Specifically, this included describing
the food supply chains, and projecting/estimating the shelf
life of produce which is extended with packaging, compared
to the shelf life without packaging i.e. sold loose.
• Describing product diverted from waste because of packaging,
and product going to waste because of no packaging.

How to launch a successful plant based product?inewtrition
- Plant-based proteins - the global demand for plant-based products is increasing and upcycled food scraps happen to be plant-based, setting optimal conditions for NPDs to launch plant-based protein powders, protein bars, burgers etc. into the market.
Much of the alternative food industry is recreating existing food products in a healthier or alternative way but where should we be putting our focus? Do you think consumers are looking for more plant products or meat alternatives?
Food-to-food fortification- Benefits and Constraintsinewtrition
the strategic approach to fight undernourishment and ensure food security
Food and health are garnering increasing attention especially since 2020. Customer awareness and education is playing a huge role on what is put on the shelves by the food industry and how it is processed. The need for clean labels, fresh ingredients and immunity-boosting products is escalating. Bridging provision of nutritious and clean foods is the key to strengthening food security. Here is where food fortification plays a huge role. Food fortification is the process of adding essential micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, trace elements) to food to make up for the nutrients that are absent or not present in significant amounts keeping in mind that the risk to one’s health is minimal. However, the focus is now shifting to one of the most clean food-based strategies that springs off but differs from conventional food fortification, known as food-to-food fortification (FtFF).
What is food-to-food fortification?
According to Kruger et al., food-to-food fortification is the addition of micronutrients-dense food(s) to a recipe (household level) or food formulation (food industry level) or the replacement of micronutrient- poor/antinutrient-rich ingredients, to substantially increase the amount of bioavailable micronutrients(s), with the aim of improving the micronutrient status of populations where the intake of bioavailable micronutrients is inadequate. In simpler words, taking an already micronutrient dense food and adding it to a staple food (vehicle) will provide a final product with highly bioavailable nutrient rich food. It is different from conventional fortification. In conventional fortification, the addition of a particular ingredient or a premix of micronutrients results in the increase in micronutrient content and bioavailability. However, in FtFF, the micronutrients are added via a food naturally rich in that micronutrient. There are certain substances in these fortifiers such as organic acids that act as natural enhancers in elevating the bioavailability of the micronutrient of interest. Food-to-food fortification offers benefits and constraints which need to be well understood before integrating it into any strategy.

How to choose the right packaging for your food product?inewtrition
The food packaging you choose isn’t just about what looks good on shelf. You also have to consider functional elements like how it will work to contain and protect your product in the short and long-term, how convenient and easy-to-open it is for the consumer, and if it effectively communicates the purpose and benefits of your product.
Creating the perfect packaging for your functional food or beverage product is all about finding the balance between the technical side and the artistic side. Oftentimes, brands spend too much time on one or the other, which more often than not, leads to poor management of time and resources, and a less than ideal package that doesn’t tick all the necessary boxes that consumers require.
The goal for any brand with its food packaging should be to create a well-designed package that contributes to a positive consumer experience.

Natural products: extract the best from nature! Nature has been men’s pharmacy for millennia. A myriad of chemical compounds is available in the form of traditional medicines, (standardized) supplements, cosmetics or as isolated compounds in different medicinal forms. They may improve inflammatory processes and mobility, improve metabolic diseases, help digestion, relieve respiratory problems or allergy, alleviate stress and depression, boost immunity, and restore skin properties among many other activities.
Health scares around ultra-processed foods are driving consumer interest in more natural and sustainable ingredients, and less heavily processed foods. The plant-based market is projected to grow at approximately 8.5% CAGR between 2018-2023. Moreover, 81% of US consumers are trying to reduce their sugar intake and to increase their fiber consumption through responsible purchase choices.
How to integrate and align perceived product value and consumer experience (CX)inewtrition
Speed to launching on the market is one of the primary considerations of product developers and for this reason, all NPD activities should be timed and tracked, but without cutting corners and rushing decisions. Developing products is easy, developing products and services that appeal to sufficient numbers of consumers is less so and developing sustainable brands that achieve commercial success is very difficult. Many products fail in the marketplace because marketers and developers do not focus systematically on consumer preferences and perceptions of sensory properties and value proposition.
Data analysis for scientific enterprisesinewtrition
The need to build a healthy, sustainable world has produced many inspiring innovations and vast amounts of valuable data. This data can become your competitive advantage when analysed to deliver impactful solutions. Without data analysis, the velocity and variety of raw information is overwhelming, making it impossible to solve problems effectively. However, when you are equipped for data analysis, it will become your greatest problem-solving tool and essential for a successful business strategy. When developing your world-changing innovations, you can be confident in your ability to solve problems and make smart decisions with proficient data analysis capabilities.
Supply chain innovation with iNewtritioninewtrition

Give food waste a second life: upcycling & value chain innovationinewtrition
- Upcycled products utilise ingredients that otherwise would not have gone to human consumption, are procured and produced using verifiable supply chains, and have a positive impact on the environment. The past decade has seen an increase in plant-based alternatives, oat milk, electric cars and compostable packaging - the food system is transitioning from a commodity-driven supply chain to a consumer-centric and value-added food and agriculture ecosystem. This presents a profitable for NPDs to reimagine the food system and create products that use upcycled food scraps.
- Ultimately, food trust is a decision maker in purchasing new food and beverage products. Thus, great storytelling and transparency of the supply chain through social media and packaging compels consumers to trust and thus purchase the product.
iNewtrition Using Marketing and Consumer Insights in Product Innovationinewtrition
Meeting consumer needs when designing and developing your food and/or beverage product is critical to your product's success in the future and brands have a lot of power in their ability to change consumer emotions, so this presentation looks at some of the areas in the product development journey from the perspective of marketing and consumer insights.
What will the future of our health and wellness look like, and how can we better understand the health-driven NPD journey to capitalise on opportunities and overcome challenges when creating more nutritious products?
Food enzymes, such as Amylase, can help improve the texture and shelf-life of foods and beverages which can lead to both a better, more positive experience for the customer, as well as additionally aid in the reduction of food waste by converting or reutilising byproducts that would otherwise contribute to a negative environmental impact.
Food fortification is the process of adding essential micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, trace elements) to food to make up for the nutrients that are absent or not present in significant amounts.

Packaging design & innovation in foods and beveragesinewtrition
Do you want to choose the right packaging for your new product?
Do you want to strengthen your existing product as part of your marketing strategy and consider the alternatives to your current packaging?
Creating or selecting a food package is partly art and partly science. Both are significant and go hand in hand. Besides, designers must evaluate the technology push, market pull and socioeconomics carefully for successful packaging design.
To average consumers, food packaging is simply the enclosure of a food product in a plastic pouch, a metal can, or a glass bottle. To scientists or engineers, food packaging is a rather technical subject – it is a coordinated system designed for the efficient delivery of high quality, safe food products throughout the supply chain and the shelf-life. However, for food entrepreneurs, food packaging is all the above and more. The packaging gives you innovative ways to reach your customers. It enables you to communicate with your consumers as a marketing tool. For more information, please contact Raphaelle at info@inewtrition.com
