Susanna Palatucci, Vice President, Commercial Innovation and Strategy at Tate & Lyle

“Different food and beverage categories demand different balances of taste, nutrition, cost and labelling, which is why building a broader toolbox of solutions matters. This milestone further bolsters the potential of BioHarvest's Botanical Synthesis™ platform and the role new approaches to ingredient development could play in helping us meet those varied customer needs across our portfolio.”

“What makes technologies like this particularly interesting is their potential to open up new ways of accessing valuable ingredients, while also considering consistency, supply reliability and the responsible use of natural resources. We're encouraged by the progress of the programme and what it could add to our science-led approach to sweetener innovation.”

“The value of this collaboration goes beyond a single development programme. It is about exploring how Botanical Synthesis™ can open up new approaches to ingredient innovation, particularly where traditional production methods can be complex or resource-intensive.”
