ICL Food Specialties used Fi Europe in Paris, Dec. 2-4 to share ingredients and insights for consumer-pleasing foods and beverages. Visitors to Stand 71K18  learned about ICL’s portfolio, which includes 

•    Phosphate Technologies
•    Stabilizing Systems
•    Texturizers
•    Plant-Based Solutions
•    Taste Solutions

Attendees discovered exciting and new developments in alternative proteins and marinades for meat and seafood. In the alternative protein market, ROVITARIS SprouTx is revolutionizing formulations—addressing taste and texture challenges faced by the plant-based meat and seafood industry. 

Leveraging proprietary germination technology, ROVITARIS SprouTx is a unique textured soy protein without the characteristic “beany” or bitter taste that helps formulators create nutritious, better tasting, better performing plant-based meat and seafood products. ICL is honored to be a finalist in the Plant-Based Category of Fi Europe Innovation Awards with ROVITARIS SprouTx.

TARI Smart Marinades introduce a revolutionary way to season meat, seafood, and vegetables. Thanks to a unique gelling technology, the marinade adheres directly to the food, not the packaging—ensuring less waste and cleaner handling while retaining a natural appearance. 

Benefits of this smart marinade:

•    Increases viscosity for easy application
•    Prevents the marinade from dripping
•    Improves yield
