Three Global Trends Shaping the Grain Processing Industry

Increased dietary fiber

Today’s consumers are more aware than ever about the benefits of a healthy diet and recognize that fiber can play an important role Global demand for dietary fiber and more specifically soluble dietary fiber is increasing as more consumers shift towards healthier eating. As leaders in enzyme technology, we are well positioned to offer the expertise and solutions to our customers to meet this growing demand.

Reduced Sugar

Allulose with the same taste and texture as table sugar is shaping up to be a low-calorie alternative as consumers seek ways to reduce sugar in their diets without compromising taste. Allulose is a rare sugar that can be found in small quantities in nature and can be produced in existing grain processing plants. We are developing immobilized enzymes for the efficient production of allulose and other low calorie alternative sweeteners.

Global Decarbonization Efforts

As countries step up efforts to combat climate change, accelerating the transition to net zero emissions has become critically important. Ethanol, already a low-carbon solution compared to gasoline, continues to reduce its GHG intensity through improvements on the farm and more efficient ethanol production. Our innovative enzyme and yeast technologies are a component of the ethanol industry’s commitment to achieve net zero by 2050
