Winners of the FI Innovation Award
FrieslandCampina Professional has WON the prestigious Fi Innovation Awards in the Food Tech Innovation category with the Kievit Vana-Cappa X01 Foam Booster!
During the Fi Europe Tradeshow, the prestigious Innovation Awards competition was held to celebrate initiatives breaking new ground in the food ingredients industry. From the 93 submissions, 20 finalists were selected for the 6 categories. FrieslandCampina Professional was very proud to be selected as a finalist for the Food Tech Innovation award. This award celebrates the best innovative solution dedicated to outstanding technical, processing, manufacturing, packaging or waste reduction for food ingredients or finished products, introduced within the last 2 years.
The process
Last Monday, all the finalists were asked to present their innovations live in front of a 9-member jury in Frankfurt. After the first day of the Fi Europe Trade Show, the world's largest event for F&B ingredient buyers and suppliers, the winners per category were announced during the Award Ceremony Event. FrieslandCampina Professional was selected as the winner for the Food Tech Innovation Award with the Kievit Vana-Cappa X01 Foam Booster.
The innovation
The Kievit Vana-Cappa X01 Foam Booster is unique as it is made with a special booster technology. This innovative approach involves high-pressure gas encapsulation creating (nitrogen) bubbles at high pressure in powder form. The ingredient typically yields at least 10 times more foam than traditional foamers. The result is a high-density powder with exceptional foam height and stability. In contrast to traditional foamers, with only 1 to 2 grams per serving, it delivers a significantly higher, thicker, and longer-lasting foam. And the additional benefit is that it reduces packaging and transportation, contributing to environmental sustainability.
The team would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey. From the dedicated team members who have put their heart and soul into driving our success, to the partners who have helped us develop this product, this couldn’t have been achieved without them.
