Puratos UK secures grant from Innovate UK to enrich breads and cakes with sustainable fibre, aiming to fight food waste while contributing to consumer's health and well-being A collaboration between Puratos UK, Biobower Technologies, Food Science Fusion and the University of Chester has won a grant from Innovate, the UK government funded body. The grant is awarded for the innovative usage of food waste to enrich bread and cakes with fibres and proteins. The innovation, called Maxfibre, is brepared from side stream products of brewery, cereal milling and fruit processing to deliver a natural, low cost dietary fibre in a micro powder format. It could allow bakers to increase the amount of fibre in a finished good without compromising taste and texture. This would make affordable, nutritional food accessible to more people, and in a sustainable way thanks to the upcycling of fibres.
