Here, we recap the key takeaways from our MegaTrends webinar, which examines the food and beverage trends for 2025 and how they can impact new product innovation.
Global Trends in Hydration
InsightLearn about global hydration trends impacting the beverage industry, key consumer preferences, and the vital role of innovation in driving product success.
For National Dairy Month, learn about three of our dairy industry innovations: solutions for protein enhancement, lactose-free options, and cultural flavor exploration through dairy.
Athletic & Sports Performance
InsightThe evolving science of sports nutrition creates new product opportunities to support athletes’ core needs of strength, energy, and recovery—while incorporating emerging interests like mood benefits, plant proteins, and eSports nutrition.
Consumers are looking to improve their energy, but do they want a quick boost or sustained energy? A beverage or a bar? Here, we define the needs and opportunities in the evolving consumer energy landscape.
Cross Flow Microfiltration (CFM)
Innovative technologyCross Flow Microfiltration is considered the gold standard approach to producing whey protein.
Granulation
Innovative technologyGranulation is a process of forming single particles from multiple small and large particles, allowing them to be more easily compressible, become more soluble in liquid or to improve the flowability of a powder.
Microencapsulation
Innovative technologyMicroencapsulation is a process by which we apply a protective coating called a matrix around a small particle called the core or active. The matrix keeps an active ingredient locked in and stabilized until the release of the material is desired.

Spray Drying
Innovative technologyIn spray drying for encapsulation, we change a liquid into a powdered form. The spray drying process creates a dispersion or emulsion of an ingredient within another ingredient and then dries this emulsion very quickly. We utilize various carriers in the spray drying process to suit the properties of your finished product, taking into consideration desired characteristics such as solubility, particle size, and special label claims.
