14 Feb 2024 --- On the first day of the Biofach 2024 trade show in Nuremberg, Germany, we catch up with Michael Wieland, regional innovation manager for Europe at Agrana, who explores the company’s latest innovations in vegan organic ice creams. A challenge for the firm is how to achieve the right texture that mimics conventional ice cream and helps formulators enhance consumer acceptance.“We want to mimic a milk soft ice cream, so that you have the same texture and behavior on your tongue. Our ice cream is rice-based and melts like standard milk ice cream, so it’s nice to eat,” he tells Food Ingredients First.
