“This project, MilaCel Plus, aims to develop innovative, sustainable, and fibre-rich fat and sugar replacement ingredients for prepared foods, using underutilised local crops to support healthier diets, reduce food waste, and boost biodiversity in Mid and North Wales.” – Growing Mid Wales
The project was recently awarded new funding from Innovate UK as part of the Nurturing Innovation in the Agri-tech and Food Technology Cluster for Mid and North Wales. Pennotec worked with AberInnovation, part of Aberystwyth University, and Cleobury Project Management on ingredient drying and taste testing of the produce.
A showcase ‘tasting menu’ to highlight the ‘Sweet Versatility’ of MilaCel Plus was hosted by AberInnovation. This event highlighted the possibilities for application of MilaCel Plus across a range of sweet and savoury products. MilaCel Plus offers practical solutions for professionals in NPD, nutrition, education, commercial buying and public health policy working to tackle obesity and meet evolving health targets.
