PowderPure’s technology has also been used to effectively repurpose valuable materials resulting from other food processing systems, turning them into useful and nutritious products and saving them from waste streams. “PowderPure’s unique technology will give us new tools for natural flavors and taste solutions,” Sergio Gelernter, Vice President, Global Category Marketing at IFF tells FoodIngredientsFirst. “As clean label solutions become a greater consumer demand, we expect this segment to grow rapidly over the next few years. We plan to enhance capacity over time to address consumer demand.” “With innovation and the pioneering spirit an integral part of the IFF story, this acquisition represents another exciting chapter for us, as it fortifies our industry-leading naturals platform to meet consumers' growing demand for natural and clean label products,” said IFF Chairman and CEO Andreas Fibig. Mr. Fibig continued, “We are impressed with PowderPure’s commitment to innovation and believe that together, we are uniquely positioned to spark further discoveries.” Matthias Haeni, Group President, Flavors added, “IFF’s focus on creating natural sustainable solutions for our customers is woven into everything we do. We are excited to work with PowderPure and leverage their fantastic technologies to create minimally processed products from natural ingredients.
