Ingredion, Oobli announce partnership

Oobli, the first company in the world to successfully build a sweet protein platform, announced its partnership with Ingredion (INGR). Together, Oobli and Ingredion will accelerate industry access to great-tasting, affordable and healthier sweetener systems by bringing natural sweetener solutions like stevia alongside Oobli proteins – proteins that sweeten. Oobli and Ingredion recently tested several co-developed products to better understand the opportunities for sweet proteins and stevia. Both companies shared enthusiasm about the consumer feedback collected, which ultimately led to the partnership. Next month, the two companies will unveil some of these novel sweet treats at Future Food Tech in San Francisco on March 13-14,.
