03 Jun 2020 --- Motif FoodWorks (Motif), a US-based animal-free ingredient company, is collaborating on an exclusive research collaboration and license option with the University of Guelph in Ontario, and Dr. Alejandro Marangoni, Founder of Coasun, which produces an alternative to shortening with low saturated fat. Under the partnership, Motif will evaluate novel technologies for formulating lipids and fiber-forming ingredients in plant-based foods. These have the potential to enable unprecedented taste and texture improvements in these fast-growing categories. This collaboration reflects Motif’s “whole science” approach to ingredient design, combining science, technology and insights in new ways to unravel the secrets of food.
