Practical Innovation utilizes leftover grapes to create O.Vine, a spring water infusion with the “spirit of wine”
Practical Innovation, Ltd., Tel Aviv, discloses its system for developing innovative food and beverage products out of previously cast off food fractions once treated as waste. The company calls on food and beverage manufacturers to identify, evaluate, integrate and create innovative products from these previously discarded — yet nutritionally valuable — materials.
Food waste varies from one category to another. Several examples involve canned vegetables, jams, frozen vegetables, as well as the baby food purée, baked goods, pasta sauces and wine industries. Precious peels and seeds rich in fiber, nutrients and nutraceuticals are abandoned rather than exploited. Nearly every food manufacturing system discards usable food cast-offs, costing money and resources.
