AI: your secret sauce for new product development

Harness data and AI to bring next-gen F&B products
to market faster.

Sizzle up new opportunities for product innovation

Bridging the gap between consumer demand and product innovation is tricky at best. Regulatory hurdles, short-lived consumer preference, increasing costs and lack of scalability are only some of the bottlenecks Nutrition enterprises juggle with. By placing AI at the center of Nutrition R&D, PIPA can streamline cumbersome research processes and unlock more opportunities for disruptive products.

Benefits

ENHANCE THE NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF FOODS, SNACKS AND DRINKS

Food formulation is as much a science as it’s an art. We help our partners optimize the nutritional profile of foods through science-driven and AI generated recommendations for nutrient equivalents from plant-based sources without sacrificing consumer-critical properties such as flavor, nutritional value and texture.

BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF FUNCTIONAL PRODUCTS

Health-conscious consumers are savvy, demanding and quick to switch brands if products don’t meet their nutritional and sensory preferences. Through our AI platforms, LEAP and Ingredient Profiler and our deep bench of subject matter experts in Nutrition, Nutraceuticals and Bioinformatics, we help our partners discover novel health-promoting ingredients that meet requirements for performance.

OPTIMIZE THE SENSORY PROFILE OF FOODS AND BEVERAGES

Flavor and texture can make or break a new product. PIPA helps optimize ingredient ratios to achieve the desired sensory experience consumers expect from a product category, be it a post-workout drink or a plant-based snack for teens. Apart from mouthfeel optimization, PIPA can support flavor innovation through AI-recommended combinations of ingredients.

Case studies

DAIRY CLOUD PLATFORM

PIPA built the first, AI-driven platform with unique, centralized, scientific and molecular knowledge on dairy and dairy molecules. The AI platform will accelerate the R&D and commercialization of dairy-based products for health-conscious consumers and provide science-based evidence on dairy’s role in promoting consumer health.

BIOACTIVE DISCOVERY IN BARLEY SPENT GRAIN

Partnered with Evergrain by ABinBev to uncover the potential health effects of EVERPRO’s polyphenolic and peptidomic content. Using LEAP™ we identified novel health benefits for its molecules and identified scientific evidence for its impact on human health.

BIOACTIVE MOLECULE DISCOVERY FOR HEALTH AGING

Ingredient development largely relies on serendipitous discovery of active ingredients through randomized library screenings.

An undisclosed client, enlisted PIPA’s expertise and AI solutions for the discovery of healthy aging bioactives. PIPA recommended novel bioactives derived from plants, specifically chosen for their senolytic and senomorphic bioactivity. The client leveraged our AI-powered, science-driven recommendations for downstream analysis and validation.

Our client used these science-driven insights to inform new product development in the healthy aging vertical.
