Science & Technology

INNOVATING FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET

Our taste and nutrition strategy is underpinned by the deployment of our leading taste and biotechnology capabilities to address customer and consumer needs across food and beverage markets. Each technology area has dedicated teams focused on delivering the next generation of product capability.

Taste

Our taste expertise is built on a deep understanding of the holistic taste experience, and how natural food components can influence this. We focus on key areas such as sweetness and salt perception, mouthfeel and masking. We are committed to creating ingredients that are ‘from-food, for-food’. This means using natural extracts – like botanicals, coffee, dairy, stocks and meat – or fermentation-derived compounds to deliver the building blocks that enhance functionality and taste.

Biotechnology

Our biotechnology capabilities comprise core sciences that deliver impact into our taste, enzyme, proactive health, food protection, preservation and bio-pharma portfolios. We deploy expertise in bioinformatics, untargeted and targeted omics, strain engineering, microbial screening, clinical studies and enzyme hydrolysis, to deliver the next generation of clinically-backed products for use in food, beverage and biopharma markets.
