Bridging the Valley through Fantastic Fats

When something’s not quite right about the taste of plant-based food — unconvincing animal fat substitutes drag us down into the uncanny valley…

Plant-Based Food, Fats & the Taste Experience

“Fats are key contributors to the experience of eating meat, eggs, dairy, and more, they can be critical to nutrition, sensory characteristics, or functionality of animal products...”

FATS ARE WHERE IT’S AT

WHAT’S NEXT

Food & Drink Business

The animal protein industry is ripe for disruption, and while plant-based protein has commanded the attention of consumers and investors to date, the answer to disruption of our current food system lies in an age-old technique. Gabrielle Munzer, principal at Main Sequence, looks at the power of fermentation.

Alt-protein without the alt-experience

The secret ingredient

We take the key aspects of the taste experience of food — appearance, smell, texture, taste, function — to give fats the love they deserve.

Food Without Fats? You Might As Well Be Eating On Mute.

Some big news from Nourish

TechCrunch

While other startups develop alt-proteins for meat replacement, Nourish Ingredients focuses on fat

The best way to appreciate the value of fat in the kitchen is to try to imagine cooking without it. What would vinaigrette be without olive oil, sausage without pork fat, a baked potato without sour cream, a croissant without butter? Pointless, that’s what. Without the flavours and textures that fat makes possible, food would be immeasurably less pleasurable to eat. In other words, fat is essential for achieving the full spectrum of flavours and textures of good cooking.

“It would be great to have a quick chat about the animal-free dairy (and meat) lipids”
