NovaBite is the expertise centre for sensory research and product optimisation in the food industry. We support the entire product development process, from idea to market launch. Through in-depth knowledge, practical research, high-quality facilities, and clear advice, we provide insights into consumer preferences and help determine what is allowed, what is possible, and what is meaningful. Our four core services include: sensory research (taste testing), qualitative research (focus groups), in-company panel training (training panels of sensory experts), and food legislation advice. Our goal is clear: to help create successful products that match the needs and experiences of consumers and the market. 80% of product innovations disappear from the market within one year. Food companies often face challenges like unclear consumer needs, disappointing taste profiles, poor packaging choices and complex regulations. NovaBite helps tackle these issues by guiding consumer-driven innovation, grounded in real consumer insights and scientific research. We support improvements in taste, quality, sustainability, and advise on packaging, presentation, and pricing. Our sensory testing, qualitative research, legal expertise, or in-company trainings ensure that every decision is informed and effective. NovaBite reduces risk and accelerates time to market by helping companies launch products that are relevant, compliant, and valued by consumers. 

Rousselot launches Nextida® GC, a specific collagen peptides composition developed to support metabolic wellness by: 1. Stimulating natural GLP-1 secretion 2. Reducing post-meal glucose spikes 3. Improving insulin response. Nextida® GC is supported by scientific research. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, healthy individuals (normoglycemic and prediabetic) consumed 5 or 10 grams of the ingredient 30 minutes before a carbohydrate-rich meal. The results showed: 1. On average, 42% reduction in glucose spikes 2. Increased GLP-1 secretion 3. Enhanced insulin function which helped priming the body’s metabolic response. Nextida GC represents a new frontier in collagen technology, expanding the potential of collagen peptides applications. Growing awareness of healthy lifestyles and the global metabolic health trend has fuelled interest in glucose control and GLP-1 supplements. High blood sugar spikes after meals can disrupt energy, mood, cravings and lead to overeating. Rousselot addresses these challenges with Nextida GC—a science-backed, safe, and versatile ingredient developed for glucose control and GLP-1 natural boosting. It integrates easily into various formats like powders, shots, and gels. Offering instant solubility in hot or cold water, neutral taste and odour, and stability across temperatures and pH. Nextida GC is a pure, sugar- and fat-free protein that enables flexible, hassle-free nutraceutical formulation.

Proxy Foods offers an AI-powered SaaS platform built for F&B product development and R&D teams. Users create new products and formulas or optimise existing ones by using state-of-the-art AI models, a feedback-loop mechanism, analytical tools, and an expansive ingredient database of nutritional values, organoleptic properties, costs, and regulations. Our data-driven feedback mechanism mitigates trial-and-error and bias from formulation, enabling teams to create better products in fewer iterations. Our platform is plug-and-play and customisable to organisational needs and infrastructure. Users retain full ownership of proprietary formulations, intellectual property, and data uploaded and outputted by the platform, and such information will remain strictly confidential to your team.    Formulation is the cornerstone of success in F&B, but it is complex, dynamic, and endlessly iterative. As regulations, preferences, and supply chains rapidly change, companies operating on already challenging margins must develop new products or optimise their existing ones to succeed. Today, scientists are left to navigate the infinitely combinatorial formulation landscape through unguided trial and error, fragmented feedback loops, siloed knowledge, bottlenecks, and unstructured communication. Our platform eliminates these pain points by centralising knowledge, standardising communication, and replacing what was once guesswork with guided, data-driven formulation.
