KH Roberts was thrilled to host aspiring plant-based start-ups in our facility on 24 June 2022!

Accelerator Cohort Visit 2022, organised by Innovate 360, brings together industry experts and plant-based start-ups to discuss and learn about enhancing the taste and texture in plant-based applications like bakery, beverage and meat products.

Our Innovation manager, Mr Derrick Heng, explained the importance of using the correct flavour formats on specific applications. For example, a liquid water-soluble flavour will not work as well in instant beverage pre-mix as it would in Ready-to-Drink beverages. Participants also had the opportunity to taste plant-based meat and dairy, incorporated with KH Roberts’s aroma and taste solutions.

Participants also had the opportunity to watch the extruder in live action, and learnt about how plant-based meat analogues achieve different textures through the utilisation of different extruder screw shapes and processing parameters.

Collaboration has always been at the core of KH Roberts. Our open collaborative platform serves as the “third place” in the food industry where like-minded partners and collaborators, including start-ups and industry players, come together to conceptualise and launch innovative and future-forward food products successfully.

This culture demonstrates our brand pillars, to become an agile, collaborative and future-ready flavours hub where we work with our customers and partners to create tomorrow’s flavours and foods that bring delight to consumers.
