Nutrition and food reformulation

Nutrition and product reformulation are strategic areas for the food industry.

Manufacturers need to adapt their products to new consumer demands, nutritional objectives, labelling requirements and market trends, whilst maintaining safety, stability, texture and flavour.

At Chemital, we develop food reformulation solutions designed to improve or adjust product profiles without compromising their technical performance. Every change to a formula can affect the overall balance of the food: reducing the salt, fat, sugars or certain additives can alter the texture, shelf life, yield, stability or sensory perception.

Reformulate without compromising functionality

Reformulation requires an understanding of the technological role of each ingredient. It is not simply a matter of replacing or reducing components, but of restoring the functional balance of the matrix. At Chemital, we work with systems that help maintain structure, juiciness, stability, flavour, shelf life and process efficiency in reformulated products.

New consumer habits

This technology responds to changing consumer habits and the need to develop products with profiles better suited to new expectations: nutritional optimisation, reduced salt content, improved fat profile, clean-label alternatives and alternative protein solutions, amongst other approaches.

Solutions tailored to each matrix

We apply nutritional science and product reformulation across various food sectors: meat, dairy, bakery, beverages, savoury snacks, and fish and seafood. Each project is developed using a technical and bespoke approach, ensuring that nutritional improvements are compatible with industrial processes, food safety and the consumer experience.
