Puratos, an international supplier of raw materials and application expertise for the bakery, patisserie, and chocolate sectors, and ReGrained, a food upcycling technology and ingredient platform, have partnered.
“This partnership offers powerful tools for the commercial baking industry to unlock the upcycled food opportunity at scale,” says Dan Kurzrock, founder and CEO of ReGrained, in a statement. “Together we can bring clean, elevated nutrition, superb flavor, and real sustainability to some of human civilization’s most time-honored food traditions.”
ReGrained’s Upcycled Food Lab is an innovation platform for upcycled product development. ReGrained SuperGrain+, its first certified upcycled ingredient derived from brewer’s spent grain, delivers a minimum of 3.5-times the dietary fiber and 2-times the plant protein of whole grain flours while lowering net carbs.
Puratos brings expertise in natural fermentation, health, and well-being, enzyme-based technologies, and consumer insights. Together, they share a customer-centric approach for creating scalable and marketable baked goods.
“Puratos aims to be the most reliable partner in innovation for the baked goods and chocolate market, which is why we invest so heavily in research and development,” says Michael Gleason, product manager of bakery for Puratos USA, in a statement. “We’re committed to helping the next generation create a better and healthier world for all. ReGrained’s leadership in upcycled food innovation is a great fit with our strategic mission.”
