The Bel Group, a well-known provider of branded cheese products worldwide, has recently teamed up with biotech company Climax Foods in a distinctive collaboration. Their primary objective is to create a new range of plant-based cheese products, which can help tackle the difficulties that the dairy industry is facing due to the worsening climate crisis.

The objective of the partnership is to develop plant-based versions of popular food brands such as Kiri®, Laughing Cow®, Babybel®, Boursin®, and Nurishh®. The focus is on creating affordable, nutritious, and eco-friendly products that are nearly identical to their dairy-based counterparts. To accomplish this goal, the companies will combine their respective skills and leverage data science and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Bel has invested in Climax Foods Inc. to support the advancement of this innovative solution.

“Food is a key lever to address climate change, and we, at Bel, have a strong determination to explore new territories and develop innovative solutions that will define the future of food, for all,” said Cécile Béliot, CEO of the Bel Group in a press statement. “The products we will develop in partnership with Climax have the potential to make a big difference: they can meet the three-fold challenge of sustainable, nutritious, and accessible. This collaboration epitomizes our co-innovation strategy by combining their distinctive technological data science and AI platforms and expertise with Bel’s pioneering and historical knowledge.”

Climax Foods has utilized predictive analytics and AI to gain a thorough comprehension of the molecular structure of animal-based foods. This expertise enables them to produce plant-based alternatives that replicate the texture, taste, and nutritional value of their dairy-based equivalents. Through the utilization of their AI technology, Climax Foods can accelerate the product development cycle and unlock the enormous potential of plant-based ingredients to create groundbreaking recipes in significantly less time than traditional methods.

Climax Foods CEO Dr. Oliver Zahn said, “AI and data can be game changers in food in terms of delivering optimal taste and texture while at the same time making it affordable and sustainable. Evolving recipes over time is what we’ve been doing for hundreds of years. In addition to changing consumer preferences, climate change requires us to accelerate the evolution of food. Together with Bel, we can make a significant positive impact so that people and the planet are better off.”

In 2020, Climax Foods, headquartered in California, received a funding of $7.5 million. Its Founder, Oliver Zahn, formerly a data scientist at Google, SpaceX, and plant-based food tech leader Impossible Foods, secured support from prominent investors such as Tom Chi, Co-founder of GoogleX, Manta Ray Ventures, and S2G Ventures. Recently, the company announced its collaboration with global conventional cheesemaking expert, Caroline Di Giusto, and its plans to establish a pilot and production center in Petaluma. Its objective is to create “Deep Plant Intelligence,” which combines molecular-level data about animal products with its exclusive plant-based ingredients database.

Climax Foods’ team of food scientists has successfully created several prototypes of specialty cheeses, including brie, blue, feta, and goat cheese, which replicate the taste and texture of their dairy-based equivalents. Bel intends to launch these innovative plant-based products in Europe and the United States by the end of 2024, as part of its effort to achieve a well-balanced portfolio of 50% dairy products and 50% plant-based/fruit products. The company aims to contribute to the transition towards a new food system model that can provide sustenance to 10 billion people by 2050 while reducing the environmental impact.

Caroline Sorlin, Chief Venture Officer of Bel, said, “Our group has always distinguished itself in its ability to dare and change the game with its innovative products. The challenge of the food transition is so big that collaborative innovation and the merging of skills is imperative. This partnership is definitely a source of pride, but above all, it is excellent news for the plant-based cheese market.”

Bel, the company that has already introduced a plant-based alternative to its popular Babybel cheese and established its own plant-based cheese label, Nurishh, declared its collaboration with two other firms last year. One is Superbrewed Food, situated in the United States, with whom Bel is collaborating to design dairy-free cheese using biomass fermentation. The other is Standing Ovation, a French precision fermentation dairy firm, who will assist Bel in developing microbe-based casein proteins for use in its cheese product line.

The food street, situated in close proximity to both PGIMER and Panjab University (PU), mainly serves students and patient attendants throughout the night.

A committee was formed to review the pricing of food items and recommended an increase of 20% to 100%, as well as changes to certain terms and conditions of allocation.

According to a municipal corporation official, the new rates will be implemented in the upcoming contract as the current agreement is set to expire in a few months.

The new prices for food items at the Night Food Street in Sector 14 have been announced. Tea will now cost INR 10, whereas it was previously INR 5, and coffee will be priced at INR 20 instead of INR 15.

The municipal corporation has also approved a policy regarding temporary tables and chairs in front of eating joints. As per the new policy, the charges levied by the civic body will be based on the area covered outside by the joints, rather than the number of chairs and tables set up, which is the current practice.

OfBusiness, a B2B marketplace, has expanded its operations into the food processing industry through the acquisition of Koeleman India, a subsidiary of Koeleman Foods International based in the Netherlands. The agreement involves the purchase of the entire 100% stake in the company.

According to ET’s report, the agreement has an estimated worth of approximately $10 million.

Koeleman India, located in Bengaluru, operates a food processing facility in Narsapura, Karnataka. The company specializes in processing various fruits and vegetables including gherkins, olives, and baby corn, among others. Additionally, it serves as a supplier of these products to prominent food corporations in the United States, Europe, and Australia.

Through the acquisition, OfBusiness will obtain access to Koeleman India’s food processing plant and the company’s export markets.

“The Indian food processing industry is witnessing many transactions in the branded and private label space, and this transaction signifies the growing appetite among large groups in expanding their presence in this high-growth segment,” Sreeraj Krishnamoorthy, vice president of Singhi Advisors, said.

The Koeleman Group received advisory services from Global Investment Bank Limited for this transaction.

OfBusiness was established in 2016 by Asish Mohapatra, Ruchi Kalra, Vasant Sridhar, Bhuvan Gupta, and Nitin Jain. The company primarily deals in purchasing raw materials, with a particular emphasis on agriculture and construction materials, for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) throughout India. OfBusiness is supported by a number of investors, including SoftBank, Tiger Global, Norwest, Zodius, and Matrix Partners.

In addition to procuring raw materials for SMEs, OfBusiness offers cash-flow based financing to these businesses through its financial division, Oxyzo. In March of last year, Oxyzo achieved unicorn status.

OfBusiness saw a significant increase in its net profit in FY22, with a year-on-year (YoY) rise of 3.6X to INR 201.11 crore. The company’s revenue from operations also experienced substantial growth, increasing more than four-fold to INR 7,139 crore during the fiscal year that ended in March 2022.

OfBusiness has launched a mobile app that aims to onboard small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMEs), traders, farmers, and distributors. According to Nitin Jain, one of the Co-Founders of OfBusiness, the app provides information on raw material prices and industry news, thereby reducing market opacity.

Smart shopping tips: 5 groceries you should always have on hand and never buy at the last minute!

Secrets & Tips (Steal this trick!)

We’ve all been there – you’re about to start cooking dinner and realize you’re missing a key ingredient. The temptation to run to the grocery store and grab what you need at the last minute is strong, but it’s not always the best idea. In fact, there are some groceries that you should never buy at the last minute, as they may not be fresh or of high quality. In this article, we’ll explore 5 such groceries and why it’s important to plan ahead when grocery shopping.

The Importance of Planning Grocery Shopping:

Planning ahead when grocery shopping has numerous benefits. For one, it can save you money, as you’re more likely to stick to a budget and avoid impulse buys. It can also save you time, as you’ll have a list of what you need and won’t have to wander aimlessly around the store. Additionally, planning ahead can help you make healthier choices, as you’ll have the opportunity to research recipes and make a list of ingredients accordingly.

When you do find yourself in a situation where you need to run to the store for a forgotten ingredient, it’s important to be mindful of what you’re buying. Certain groceries may not be fresh or of high quality when purchased at the last minute, which can affect the taste and nutritional value of your meals.

5 Groceries You Should Never Buy At the Last Minute

A. Light green avocados

Avocados are a popular ingredient in many dishes, from salads to guacamole. However, when it comes to buying avocados, you need to be careful. Light green avocados may look appealing, but they are not yet ripe. If you buy these avocados at the last minute, you may end up with unripe and hard avocados that are difficult to use.

Instead, look for avocados that are dark green or black in color. These avocados are ripe and ready to eat. You can test if an avocado is ripe by gently pressing on the skin. If it gives slightly, it is ready to eat.

B. Frozen meat and poultry

Frozen meat and poultry can be a convenient option when you’re running low on groceries. However, buying these items at the last minute can be risky. If the item has been thawed and refrozen multiple times, it can be unsafe to eat.

In addition, frozen meat and poultry may not be as fresh as fresh meat and poultry. If you plan on cooking the meat or poultry right away, you may be able to use frozen items. However, if you plan on storing the meat or poultry for later use, it is best to buy fresh items.

C. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a versatile ingredient that can be used in many dishes. However, buying tomatoes at the last minute can be problematic. Tomatoes are fragile and can spoil quickly. If you buy tomatoes that are already starting to go bad, they may not last very long in your fridge.

Instead, look for tomatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. If you plan on using the tomatoes right away, you can buy ripe tomatoes. However, if you plan on storing them for a few days, it is best to buy slightly under ripe tomatoes.

D. Green bananas

Bananas are a popular fruit that can be used in many dishes or eaten on their own. However, buying green bananas at the last minute is not a good idea. Green bananas are not yet ripe and may be difficult to peel and eat.

Instead, look for bananas that are yellow or slightly green. These bananas are ripe and ready to eat. If you prefer your bananas to be a little firmer, you can buy slightly under ripe bananas. These bananas will ripen over the course of a few days.

E. Frozen fish

Like frozen meat and poultry, frozen fish can be a convenient option when you’re running low on groceries. However, buying frozen fish at the last minute can be risky. If the fish has been thawed and refrozen multiple times, it can be unsafe to eat.

In addition, frozen fish may not be as fresh as fresh fish. If you plan on cooking the fish right away, you may be able to use frozen items. However, if you plan on storing the fish for later use, it is best to buy fresh items.

There are certain groceries that you should avoid buying at the last minute. Light green avocados, frozen meat and poultry, tomatoes, green bananas, and frozen fish are all items that can be problematic if not purchased at the right time.

Elevate your Wine experience: A wine lover’s guide to finding and enjoying delicious low-sugar wines

Wine is a popular alcoholic beverage enjoyed by people all over the world. It comes in many varieties, each with its unique flavor profile and nutritional information. As more people become health-conscious, there has been an increased demand for low-sugar wines. Low-sugar wines are becoming increasingly popular among wine enthusiasts, and for good reason. This article will provide tips for finding your low-sugar wine and discuss the different types of low-sugar wines available.

Why choose low-sugar wines?

Excessive sugar intake has been linked to various health problems such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Therefore, it is essential to be mindful of your sugar intake, including the sugar content of your alcoholic beverages. Drinking high-sugar wines can also cause a spike in blood sugar levels, leading to unwanted effects such as headaches, nausea, and dehydration.

Choosing low-sugar wines allows you to enjoy your wine while still being mindful of your sugar intake. Low-sugar wines are also less likely to cause hangovers, as they are not loaded with excess sugar. Therefore, if you’re looking for a healthier way to enjoy your wine, low-sugar wine is the way to go.

How to find low-sugar wines

a. Read the label

The easiest way to find low-sugar wines is to read the label. The label will typically display the sugar content of the wine, measured in grams per liter (g/L) or in percentage (%). A wine with a sugar content of fewer than 5 g/L or 0.5% is considered low-sugar. However, it is essential to note that not all wines with low sugar content will be labeled as such. Therefore, it is essential to know what to look for when shopping for low-sugar wines.

b. Look for wine with lower alcohol content

Wines with lower alcohol content tend to have lower sugar content. Alcohol is a byproduct of sugar fermentation, meaning that the higher the alcohol content, the higher the sugar content. Therefore, choosing wine with an alcohol content of 12% or less will typically result in a lower sugar content.

c. Choose dry wines

Dry wines are wines that have little to no residual sugar. They are made by fermenting the grape juice until most of the sugar has been converted to alcohol. Therefore, dry wines typically have a lower sugar content than sweet wines. Dry wines can be identified by their lack of sweetness and often have a crisp, acidic taste.

d. Avoid sweet wines

Sweet wines are wines with a high sugar content, and they tend to be popular among people with a sweet tooth. However, they are not suitable for those looking for low-sugar wines. Sweet wines include dessert wines, fortified wines, and many of the popular fruity wines on the market.

Types of low-sugar wines

a. Red wines

Red wines are made from grapes that are typically higher in sugar content than white grapes. However, some red wines can be lower in sugar than others. Dry red wines are a good option for those looking for low-sugar wines. Dry red wines have less residual sugar, which means they have less than one gram of sugar per liter. Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Merlot are all dry red wines that are low in sugar.

b. White wines

White wines are generally lower in sugar content than red wines. Dry white wines, like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio, have very little residual sugar, making them a good choice for those watching their sugar intake.
