Project

Smat - Smart Food

We develop protein foods which are better than meat. They are succulent, contain more protein than meat, and are healthy and good for the environment. The protein comes from oat, pea and hemp, and there is even an opportunity to a…
Project

Mechanisms for fibre formation in extruded meat analogues

The food chain contributes 25% of the total greenhouse gas emissions, with meat production alone contributing a staggering 14.5%. The consumption increases and it is alarming also from a health perspective, as excessive meat consu…
Project

Edible hot-melt adhesive for food and packaging

Most people have used a hot glue gun for hobby or craft projects, and also wished it would be possible to use also for food decorations. A new, hot-melt adhesive now makes it possible to use for food decorations as well as for pac…
Project

Like:meat

The interest in plant-based meat-like products, so-called meat analogues, is large and growing. In this project, RISE, together with Lantmännen and Orkla, aimed to develop useful and attractive meat analogues based on Swedish raw …
Project

Talk with the food in the mouth!

By using remote, sensitive magnetic techniques the movement of magnetic iron oxide can be determined, thus giving local texture properties such as viscosity. This in turn gives a measure of changes in softening, drying, aggregatio…
Project

A model of the human throat

The Gothenburg Throat is a model of the upper throat, the pharynx, which is a passage for both air, food and beverages. The model is used for studying the flow of different foods with the aim of developing foods which are easy and…
Story

Swedish plant-based proteins ― our new everyday food?

Seafood made of seaweed, meat analogues made of peas, oats and gluten, and yeast will be the cornerstones of the protein on our plates in the future. In three projects funded by Vinnova, RISE and industry partners will develop the…
Expertise

Food Oral Processing

Understanding oral activities leading to food perception is crucial for developing desirable products. Further, understanding bolus formation and swallowing is important for a pleasant meal, especially for individuals with swallow…
Expertise

Rheomicroscopy

Crystallisation of polymers and fat is complex and difficult to explain, as is process effects during incipient structure formation. The explanation is considerably easier when you can measure material properties while simultaneou…
Expertise

Extrusion

Extrusion is an established process technology in the food industry. Extrusion is used to produce many different food products available on the market; snacks, breakfast cereals, pasta and vegetarian meat substitutes, and is also …
Expertise

Sustainable protein

Due to climate and health aspects there is an increasing interest to switch to a more sustainable production and consumption of proteins. RISE wants to contribute to this development, for example, by developing new products f…
Expertise

Optimization of texture

How can a meat substitute based on peas have a texture like chicken? How can yogurt made from field bean get a creamy texture? With the help of formulation, structural design and material science, RISE can provide answers to what …
Expertise

Development of products

When you want to create crunchy snacks or the right chewing resistance in a meat alternative product, extrusion is the right manufacturing method. Furthermore, RISE has the expertise and the equipment required to produce ferm…
Expertise

Rheology

Rheology describes texture, flowability and product stability leading to the right product properties, ability to process and shelf life.
Expertise

Functional biomaterials

Future functional materials and sustainable foods are developed by designing specific material properties.
Expertise

Product design food and biomaterials

Future sustainable, healthy and tasty foods and functional biomaterials are developed by designing of composition, taste, nutrition, texture and structure.
