Revolutionizing Food: the Power of Whole Grains and Functional Fibers
In a world where metabolic disorders are costing consumers more than their food expenses, it's time for a change. The root of the problem lies in the lack of nutrition in our daily diets, with most foods consisting of purified starch, providing empty calories. Even "whole-grain" cereals fall short, as the milling process removes the essential outer fiber and germ, destroying vital polyphenols that offer cancer prevention and immunity-boosting properties. But what if we told you that these polyphenols not only enhance health but also taste delicious?
Transforming the Food Industry: a Tastier and Healthier Approach
We are on a mission to innovate food for health and taste. The same foods that people love and know can be more healthy with whole grains and fiber. However, the challenge for the food industry lies in modifying these foods without compromising taste or texture. Food companies are faced with the daunting task of selecting the ideal grains and conducting countless experiments to achieve the perfect balance. That's where we come in.
Decoding the Secrets of Grain Chemistry
Our cutting-edge approach harnesses the power of grain chemistry to solve the formulation problem. By delving into the internal molecular structure of ingredients, we create data-driven models that predict the physical and material properties of different products. Imagine a lego sculpture representing the ingredient's structure, and our models act as the translator from structure to property, predicting its mechanical strength and texture.
