What’s in a Name? Unpacking the Fear of Scientific-Sounding Ingredients   We are kicking off our podcast series with a topic that sparks curiosity and conversation: Why are we wary of ingredients we don’t recognize, even when they’re safe to eat?   This topic felt important because we are witnessing a fascinating shift, especially with Gen Z—who are environmentally conscious and open to food innovation but often cautious about anything that sounds ‘unnatural’ or ‘processed.’ Meanwhile, millennials, though curious, seem to trust food science a bit more.   In this episode, we explore how labels, language, and social media shape our perceptions, often causing scientific terms to feel unfamiliar or intimidating, even when they represent safe and common ingredients.   We chose this topic to challenge assumptions and spark dialogue about science, safety, and the power of perception in our food choices. Do drop in your questions in the comments ; We will address them in the Podcast!   🎧 Stay tuned for the launch!    #Podcast #FoodScience #CleanLabel #GenZ #IngredientsMatter #giract

The global flavor industry is undergoing major transformations, driven by strategic moves and shifting market dynamics. Exter and Lallemand are collaborating to advance flavor technologies, while Lesaffre has strengthened its savory portfolio by acquiring dsm-firmenich's yeast extract business and a majority stake in Biorigin.    Meanwhile, Angel Yeast is rapidly expanding, challenging traditional European suppliers. The HVP sector faces a supply crunch, prompting key players to form strategic alliances, while reformulation efforts accelerate as YE, HVP, MSG, and nucleotides compete for dominance.    Our latest study aims to evaluate evolving supply chains, assess post-acquisition market impacts, and explore reformulation trends, including MSG and nucleotide replacements. It will provide insights into policy implications, demand-side changes, and strategic adaptations in the YE and HVP markets.   For details on the study, drop us an e-mail at info@giract.com   #flavorindustry #foodinnovation #markettrends #food #foodandbeverage #ingredients #savory #yeast #yeastextract #marketresearch #giract
