Innovation Rooted in Nature

HIFOOD header

Since our foundation, we have harnessed the power of nature combined with cutting-edge technology to elevate food performance in every dimension: texture, freshness, taste, and nutrition.

By continuously exploring, combining and transforming natural raw materials such as chickpeas, yellow peas, flaxseed, and many others, we create cleaner label, plant-based solutions that make food better and simpler.

Each HIFOOD ingredient is designed as an easy-to-use building block within food formulations, helping manufacturers achieve consistent, high-quality results in both product performance and production efficiency.

Plant-based system MELTEC® for sugar and syrup replacement

Winner of the CFIA Innovation Trophy 2019 at the Carrefour des Fournisseurs de l’Industrie Agroalimentaire in Rennes and Finalist at Food Ingredients Europe in Paris at the FI Innovation Awards 2019.

The Solution: Cleaner label, semi-solid vegetable fiber system for the replacement of sugars and syrups in foods. Obtained from natural origin raw materials, it is soluble in water, odorless and flavorless, and therefore very easy to include in recipes and production processes. Furthermore, Meltec® also allows to increase fiber content, improve textures, and give body to several food applications, as well as binding bars and snacks and enhancing creaminess and spoonability in ice creams and frozen desserts.
