Potential applications for Citri-Fi ingredients include dairy alternatives, beverages, ice cream and frozen foods.

The food tech company is partnering with Vectron Biosolutions to create new animal-free proteins.

Increased consumption of milk alternatives is creating opportunities for upcycled byproducts.

Cultures and enzymes influence the flavor, texture and even the shelf life of dairy products.

The Danone North America brand previously only offered plant-based creamers.

The dairy alternative dessert includes pumpkin purée and pie crust crumbles.

Swapping caloric sweeteners with non-caloric ones is not always the best, depending on the application.

Innovations entering the alternative dairy space have sophisticated flavors, formats and nutrient density.

The company plans to invest in nutrition education, improved access to healthy foods and food security research.

The new dessert snacks are available in five flavors.
