01 Aug 2024 --- Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition and AI-enabled protein discovery company Shiru are joining forces in a first-of-its-kind partnership in the global ingredients sector. They will jointly develop sweet proteins to replace the “sweetening power of sugar and other sweeteners.” One of the crucial benefits expected of the collaboration is the commercialization of sweet proteins for use in beverages and specialty products that target health benefits for consumers. This makes them an appealing sugar replacement and could offer brands clean label on-pack sugar reduction health claims.
