Technical experts will also be on hand to discuss visitors formulation and production challenges. Firas Abu Irshaid, Sales Manager - Middle East, Ingredion, says: “The Middle East and African food and beverage sector is predicted to achieve between six and seven
percent annual growth between 2020 and 2022. Coupled with consumers’ willingness to try out new trends such as reduced-sugar and plant-based, this presents an opportunity for food and beverage manufacturers to tap into this developing market. “Our team of experts will be on hand able to guide visitors through the latest consumer insights and their own individual reformulation challenges, looking at the latest ingredient innovations can help to optimise costs without sacrificing taste, texture, nutritional appeal and functionality. The recipes and demo kits available to taste on stand will demonstrate how they can deliver exactly that.”
The future is plant-based One of the rising food trends over the past decade is the plant-based diet. But processing plant-based protein with outstanding results can be expensive and challenging.

On display will be the world-leading Inspira VFFS bagmaker, two dynamic X-ray inspection systems from Ishida’s IX range and the CHW 214 multihead weigher which enables growing businesses to cost-effectively access high-quality weighing. The models on show also indicate the huge range of weighing, packing and inspection equipment that Ishida offers as part of its ability to

THAI HALAL INDUSTRY POISED FOR STRONG GROWTH With a growing percentage of the world’s population consuming halal products, Thailand is well-positioned to harness the opportunity to deliver on its rising demand. The Federation of Thai Industries had earlier revealed that it expects Thailand’s revenue from halal exports to rise 5 per cent in 2021. Thailand is one of the largest halal product exporters in the world and produces everything from halal food and beverages to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, meat, fertilizer, animal feed and more. Panot Punyahotra Director of Thai Trade Centre, Dubai said: “With a long history in the
agri-food, food processing and non-food industries as well as expertise in international halal certification, Thailand possesses huge potential to have a greater share of the global halal market. Through the backing of the Thai government, Thai food manufacturers and exporters have strong institutional support in place to encourage capacity building in critical areas such as international food hygiene and Halal standards, innovation, marketing, and assistance for small and medium-sized companies. I am certain that Thailand will become the leading hub for halal products and capture a bigger slice of the global halal market.”
According to the State of the Global Islamic Economy Report 2020, the global halal industry is estimated to be worth around USD2.3 trillion and growing at an estimated annual rate of 20%. For halal F&B, Thailand is the world’s fifth largest producer with a 5.6% share of the global halal food market valued at US$5 billion a year, as per the Board of Investment of Thailand. Thailand also ranks first for halal export among ASEAN countries. Halal food currently accounts for 20% of Thailand’s global food exports with more than 60% of halal exports going to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei.

GLOBAL FOOD INDUSTRIES LAUNCHES REGION’S FIRST-EVER SALICORNIABASED BURGER RANGE IN UAE Global Food Industries (GFI), part of the Albatha Group, has partnered with the International Center for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA), an international, non-profit applied agricultural research center, to produce their latest range of Salicornia-based burgers for health-conscious consumers. This latest product range under GFI’s Al Areesh brand is a healthier alternative among burger lovers as it has Salicornia as well as Quinoa and Kale among its key superfood ingredients. A versatile crop grown in the UAE by local farmers, Salicornia is a plant that thrives in a saline environment and is a great substitute to table salt. Its use in making the burger patties has reduced sodium content by 40% while retaining the flavour. Salicornia is also known for
14
its antioxidant, anti-bacterial and antiinflammatory properties. Commenting on the launch, Ahmed Bayoumi, CEO GFI and IBFI, said, “This new burger range is a result of the commitment of our R&D team who worked tirelessly in coming up with a product that caters to the current demand for a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. Grown by UAE farmers, Salicornia is an innovative crop that is obtained from sustainable sources.” “I would also like to commend ICBA’s efforts to introduce innovationled solutions here in the UAE. Our partnership with them is further proof of our commitment to continuously bring consumers with innovative products that are intrinsic to our brand ethos.”
Food Business Gulf & ME | www.foodbusinessgulf.com
“With a view to boosting local UAE agriculture and foster farming innovation, we are extremely proud to launch the Salicornia burgers in partnership with GFI. 90% of groundwater in the UAE is saline, making it an ideal environment to yield the best Salicornia produce. Salicornia is completely safe for human consumption which is why we are focusing on building public awareness and increasing consumers’ knowledge about the nutritional benefits of Salicornia-based food products. We are optimistic that the launch of the new burger has the potential to transform the UAE’s burgeoning home-grown crops sector.” said Dr. Dionysia Angeliki Lyra, Halophyte Agronomist, Directorate of Programs, ICBA.

SAUDI ARABIA EMBRACES EUROPEAN CHEESE AS IMPORTS FROM THE EU INCREASE TO OVER 42,476 TONNES The European Union’s (EU) imports of European cheese to Saudi Arabia increased to 42,476 tonnes in 2020, an annual increase of 15% on the 36,888 tonnes imported in 2019, according to the latest research from CNIEL, the French Dairy Board. France is the second-largest dairy producer in the EU with 23.8 billion litres produced in 53,800 dairy farms in 2019 and continues to command the attention of Saudi Arabian cheese aficionados with well-known cheese such as Camembert and Brie remaining popular choices for all culinary occasions. Other French cheese varieties increasing in popularity in Saudi Arabian cooking includes blue cheese, like Fourme d’Ambert or Bleu d’Auvergne, slightly salty cheese made of cow’s milk; Comte, which has the highest production volume with approximately 64,000 tonnes annually; and fresh cheese, which is made from whole or skimmed milk and cream and can be used as an appetizer, a snack or creamy desert. Marie-Laure Martin, International Project Manager from CNIEL, said: “Both hotels and consumers in Saudi Arabia are continuing to choose French cheese for their cooking and baking, signalling a real awareness from the Saudi consumer in using only the finest produce that is known for safety, superior quality and traceability.” “French dairy farms adhere to a national charter of good cattle breeding practices with 250 analyses per farm per year for milk pricing in accordance with its composition and quality. Also, traceability is provided between the farms and the collection tanker, and then along the entire processing chain right to the enduser to ensure world-class food safety. Technology has made it possible to make our food chains completely transparent – something we know our Saudi consumers welcome.” French cheese is also gaining popularity in the wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Kuwait has seen imports up 9% from 5,328 tonnes in 2019 to 5,788 tonnes in 2020. Despite restrictions on the tourism and hospitality market, the UAE imported 15,710 tonnes in 2020, further underscoring the demand for French cheese in the UAE.

NSK TRIPLE LIP SEAL PROVIDES ULTIMATE BEARING PROTECTION Bearings that operate in conditions with a high degree of contamination must offer many attributes. A highly efficient sealing arrangement is priority number one. However, these bearings must also be cost-effective and provide easy, quick and convenient fitting and removal, including the capability to counter any misalignment during assembly. To help meet all of these demands, an increasing number of OEMs and manufacturing plants are finding the optimum solution in NSK’s Self-Lube® bearing units with triple lip seal. Self-Lube® bearing units help users to combat extreme condition challenges through a broad portfolio of reliable inserts and housings. Notably, these cost-effective units provide a simple and fast solution for mounting bearings without the need for complex housings or special shaft arrangements. Self-Lube® units provide all the features necessary to easily attach a bearing to a frame and a shaft. Premier among the advantages is the specially developed triple lip seal, a one-piece moulded nitrile seal with three sealing lips. Bonded to a protective outer steel pressing (secured in the outer ring), the triple lip seal makes for a highly efficient sealing design that protects the bearing in severe conditions involving dust, sand, water or slurry. Among a growing number turning to Self-Lube® bearing units with triple lip seal is a manufacturer of barrel washers for cleaning vegetables prior to processing or packaging. The barrel washer’s bearings submerge in water with every rotation of the drum. Due to water washout and corrosion it was proving necessary to replace the bearings every three months. To avoid this costly exercise, the company invited NSK’s expert team of engineers to investigate the problem. After a full application review and bearing failure analysis, NSK recommended its Self-Lube® bearing units with triple lip seal, which are perfect for applications where bearings face exposure to water contamination. The solution produced a significant lifetime extension to more than 7 months (at least 133% improvement). As a result, the manufacturer of barrel washers is saving €56,600 in bearing replacement and maintenance costs over every six-month period of operations. Self-Lube® bearing units comprise an insert and a housing. The inserts are deep-groove ball bearings made to the popular 6200 series configuration, with integral design features that make them more functional and versatile than standard ball bearings. Self-Lube® inserts not only suit the wide range of RHP housings available from NSK, but applications where the user’s own housing is preferred.

WORLD’S FIRST RENEWABLE DRINKING WATER, SOURCED FROM THE SKY AND SUSTAINABLY BOTTLED, COMES TO THE GCC Masafi recently announced plans to launch SOURCE®, the world’s first renewable, sustainable bottled water, in the UAE and soon, across the Gulf Coast region. By tapping the sky for the finest water on earth, SOURCE Global, PBC has created the world’s only premium bottled drinking water that’s sustainable inside and out. SOURCE® Water comes from an entirely new, endlessly renewable, and locally created resource – the pure water vapor in the air – and is harvested using nothing but the sun. It starts pure, is mineralized for great taste and good health, and always packaged in reusable, recyclable
22
bottles. Because SOURCE® is locally made, it reflects the unique terroir of the region and has a smaller carbon footprint. For every litre sold, SOURCE and its partners donate a litre of the same, worldclass drinking water to local, waterstressed communities. “This premium product is designed for modern consumers, who care about health, wellbeing, sustainability and community. SOURCE® Water embodies each of these values,” said Neil Grimmer, Brand President of SOURCE Global, PBC. “We’re revolutionizing a large, fast-growing category, transforming the drinking water experience, and redefining
Food Business Gulf & ME | www.foodbusinessgulf.com
what is means to create premium eco-friendly consumer products, and we’re excited to partner with Masafi to bring SOURCE® bottled water to the GCC.” Masafi, the pioneer of deep earth drinking water and the Middle East’s industry leader, will offer SOURCE® still, sparkling and flavoured sparkling water, packaged in recyclable glass, at retailers throughout the GCC. The company is working with SOURCE to develop the region’s first and the world’s largest water farm in the Masafi Mountains, creating a landmark where people can see the future of water and a technological breakthrough in developing the sustainable products consumers want. The water farm will be located in the Al Hajar Mountains at Masafi in the Ras Al Khaima Emirate, in the United Arab Emirates. According to Boston Consulting Group, more than 40 percent of Gulf States consumers have begun or are considering buying ecofriendly products and many cite lack of sustainable product offerings as a barrier to change. “We are proud of this strategic venture, which is an important milestone in our 44-year journey and an essential step toward the future we aspire to for our industry, our country and the region,” said Saood Al Ghurair, CEO of Masafi. “This fantastic, truly proprietary product combined with our industry know how, reach and consumer engagement expertise will transform the bottled water category and help solve one of the region’s most pressing problems – access to clean, safe drinking water.”

AAK’S AKOMEL™ FATS OFFER GATEWAY TO GROWING PREMIUM CARAMEL OPPORTUNITY AAK has developed a range of fats for chocolate and confectionery manufacturers that are looking to benefit from the growing popularity and premiumization of caramel. AKOMEL™ is a portfolio of clean-label and plant-based fats from sustainable sources. Non-hydrogenated, non-

trans and low-saturated fat options are available. Already a well-established classic, caramel is also one of the fastestgrowing confectionery categories, according to Euromonitor, with value sales set to increase by about 5 percent between 2020 and 2023.
Food Business Gulf & ME | www.foodbusinessgulf.com
This will outstrip volume growth over the same period (2.5 percent), indicating that caramel has established itself as a premium category. In addition, caramel is the fastest-growing flavor component in indulgent categories such as chocolate and confectionery. This trend towards premiumization is further supported by Mintel data demonstrating that there has been an increase in the number of new launches of higher-priced caramel products. By contrast, the number of launches of cheaper caramel products is declining. The caramel category also covers toffee, fudge and nougat – with textures ranging from the hard and chewy to very soft and melt-in-themouth. The fat content in caramel is typically 5 to 15 percent and plays a major role in terms of its flavor, mouthfeel and texture. How the fat melts in relation to human body temperature is an important part of the taste experience. Apart from having the desired sensory quality, caramel must be stable enough to retain its shape at room temperature and ensure it does not stick to packaging. Speciality vegetable fats can provide improved process control and lower costs without compromising clean label appeal. They are also vegan-friendly and aligned with demand for plant-based foods. Vegan and plant-based foods are strong trends and high in the top of mind of consumers nowadays. Consumers’ awareness of products that are good for themselves but also good for the planet seems to be an important driver of their purchasing decisions.

There was a great desire to do business live, as shown by the meetings of the more than 150 thousand visitors with more than 2,700 companies. Crowded aisles and lively exchanges at different booths consolidate Fiera Milano’s growing

role as a European exhibition hub and internationalization for Italian companies of all sizes. A continuous and organic strategy demonstrated by the constant increase in international buyers was also collaborated by the ICE Agency. The new agreements signed by Fiera Milano reinforced the supply chain approach that the Italian agri-food and hospitality ecosystem needs to present itself abroad in an organic way. The new partnership with Fiera Italia and Coldiretti will promote the ‘Made in Italy’ agri-food products to double the value of exports. The agreement with Informa Market- a leading trade fair sector with over 450 events in its

ong hailed as a wellnesspromoting health food, yogurt is most often considered a dietary choice that doctor not only approve of, but often choose for themselves. High in protein, calcium, and beneficial live cultures, the age-old fermented food is a mainstay in communities around the world. However, in recent years, yogurt recipes have evolved to include more sugar, in some
38
cases reaching levels that rival soft drinks and candies. Today, an average pot of yogurt could contain 12% sugar, and many brands contain even more. At a time when promoting health and preserving wellbeing is of greater emphasis than ever, consumers are taking extra care to reduce their sugar intake. Producers aiming to keep pace with current trends need to evolve their offerings accordingly.

A best-in-class portfolio of natural solutions for less added sugar Chr. Hansen’s solutions are inspired by nature and enable dairy producers to significantly reduce the sugar content of their products and ensure delicious outcomes with authentic taste and texture. • NOLA® Fit is a highly efficient, cost-attractive innovative enzyme solution that converts lactose to glucose and galactose, enhancing sweetness perception while creating the option for going lactose-free at the same time. This allows dairy producers to keep the sweetness, reduce added sugar by 1.5 – 2.0g per 100g of yogurt, and maintain the same great taste throughout shelf life. • The innovative Sweety®
culture is founded on principles of fermentation. The culture works by consuming galactose coming from lactose, and then excreting glucose into the milk to enhance sweetness without upping sugar content. With Sweety, producers can look forward to maintaining the level of sweetness their customers love, all while reducing added sugar. [1] Sustainability Development Goal 3

BENEO INGREDIENTS PROMOTE IMMUNE SUPPORT AND HEALTHIER AGEING
N
ot surprisingly, given the global pandemic, immune health support is at the top of consumers’ minds at present. Here Anke Sentko, Vice President Regulatory Affairs & Nutrition Communication at BENEO discusses how the immune system can be supported and healthier ageing promoted using BENEO’s low glycaemic functional ingredients. Consumers want to age more healthily In a recent BENEO and Health Focus International survey, 85% of those aged 50 and over have
42
shown a willingness to take charge of their health, realising that their short-term health depends on how well a person takes care of themselves. A key way of doing this is through changing what they eat and drink, with 30% of consumers aged 50+ saying that the primary reason for them choosing healthy foods and beverages is to ensure their future good health, with another 28% choosing these products to enhance their daily health. Smart food choices strengthen the inner defence system Supporting the immune system is a
Food Business Gulf & ME | www.foodbusinessgulf.com
key part of healthier ageing. As well as sustaining the gut microbiome with gut-friendly foods containing prebiotics, a key recommendation to supporting immunity is to manage blood glucose levels. Traditionally, high blood glucose is linked to those with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, however, blood glucose levels also influence the innate immune system. This became very clear during the COVID-19 pandemic when researchers found that high blood glucose was a risk factor independent of diabetes. Having high blood glucose levels is closely linked with being
October-December 2021
I N GR ED I E N TS overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, diabetes, coronary heart disease and more. An important way to address this is through a change of diet. Food choices and ingredients that can reduce the blood glucose response will become increasingly important, and low glycaemic functional ingredients, such as the balanced sugar isomaltulose, are playing a growing part in this process. BENEO’s low glycaemic functional ingredients According to a consumer survey conducted by Insites Consulting on BENEO’s behalf, 78% of 65to 75-year-olds in Asia, Europe and the US are now paying attention to their sugar intake. However, the key to promoting healthy ageing through blood sugar management is through the right choice of carbohydrate. The
October-December 2021
ideal carbohydrate provides the necessary energy for a person’s metabolism, it triggers a low and balanced rise in blood glucose and a low increase in insulin, as well as encouraging fat burning rather than fat storage. The goal for any food producer interested in promoting the long-term health of consumers should be the development of food choices that deliver a lower glycaemic profile. This is only possible by selecting the right ingredients. A case in point is the increasing popularity of isomaltulose, chicory root fibre (inulin, oligofructose) and isomalt functional ingredients in product development. With a low glycaemic profile, all of these ingredients can help in the creation of foods and beverages that promote blood sugar management. BENEO’s Palatinose™ (isomaltulose) is a slow release sugar. It is made from sucrose which is naturally sourced from sugar beet. It is also naturally found in honey. Palatinose™ is unique in its ability to deliver a lower rise in blood glucose, while delivering full carbohydrate energy (4 kcal/g). Its slow uptake results in a low and balanced blood glucose response, making it an ideal ingredient to help support blood sugar management. No wonder therefore that almost two thirds of European 55- to 75-yearolds in a consumer survey found Palatinose™ appealing due to these unique characteristics. Additionally, this unique sugar carries EU health claims for being toothfriendly and providing a lower blood glucose response. BENEO’s sugar replacer Isomalt supports a low glycaemic diet by making tasty and enjoyable sugarfree confectionery and other food
products possible. It is an almost non-digestible carbohydrate that provides half the calories of sugar, whilst having an almost negligible effect on blood sugar and insulin levels. Similar to Palatinose™, Isomalt also supports dental health and carries an EU health claim for being toothfriendly, as well as an US health claim for not promoting tooth decay. Chicory root fibres, such as BENEO’s Orafti® Inulin and Oligofructose, contribute to a low glycaemic diet by replacing available carbohydrates and enriching the food with a dietary fibre. At the same time, numerous studies have shown that prebiotic chicory root fibre nourishes the beneficial gut microbiota, supports blood sugar management and weight management together with digestive health and wellbeing. With COVID-19 driving consumers to boost their longterm health, immunity and mental stability, manufacturers are increasingly looking to functional ingredients, such as slow-release carbohydrates, to support consumer health goals. Working with food and drink providers worldwide, BENEO is well able to help producers create exciting solutions that promote long-term health, whilst offering immune support.

Belgian white blue: remarkably developed muscle mass The dominance of the Belgian white blue is unique in Europe. The production of beef is greatly specialised and there is barely any link to the dairy industry. Thus over 70% of the cows slaughtered are class S or E with regard to conformation. The greater majority of the animals are fattened to a warm carcass weight of 450 to 600 kg (for cows and bulls respectively). The absence of fat leads to a very high muscle mass.

hen it comes to manufacturing the highest quality chocolates, many companies rely on the MacIntyre Refiner/ Conche to produce their own unique recipes and there’s never been a better time to think about making your own chocolates. Having control of quality and delivery is
essential for all chocolate users - key factors to take into consideration when choosing to make rather than buy in. When opting for the Next Generation
Refiner/Conche, however, the cost savings can be even greater now that both the cycle time and energy required can be 40% less. Recent cycle

Refined sesame seed paste, 20 micron finish times for standard recipes include – • 9 hours for 20 micron milk couverture on a 5000Kg batch capacity Duplex Refiner/Conche (10,000Kg per 24 hour day) • 6.5 hours for 20 micron milk chocolate on a 500Kg batch capacity Refiner/Conche (1500Kg per 24 hour day) • 3 hours for 30 micron milk compound on a 500Kg batch capacity Refiner/ Conche (3500Kg per 24 hour day) A large output can be achieved from a small footprint, making it the ideal choice for newcomers to chocolate world (who are short of factory space) as well as multi-nationals who need to maximise their capacity in production halls around the world. It’s not unusual to see multiple Refiner/Conches installed, manufacturing the same product, as the simplicity in operation is favoured by many.
October-December 2021
With models of 45Kg, 500Kg, 1250Kg, 2000Kg, 3000Kg & 5000Kg batch capacity available, it’s prudent to consider and analyse the costs of manufacturing rather than buying readymade. The MacIntyre Refiner/ Conche performs the function of a Mixer, Refiner and Conche all in the one machine, with the option to use the Refiner/ Conche as a cocoa mill and start manufacturing the highest quality chocolate straight from the nib. The milling capabilities within the Refiner/Conche also gives MacIntyre customers the flexibility of using their equipment for products such as nut based spreads, working from a variety of roasted nuts. Also, tahina and halva are produced by some customers working from roasted sesame seeds. With the vegan market ever growing, MacIntyre recently gave some focus to more unusual recipes in recent trials.
They opted for a roasted seed paste working from sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax/linseed, sunflower oil and sesame oil. First of all, the mixture was ground to a rough texture and then finally refined to 20 microns, demonstrating a large range of textures possible when producing seed pastes or nut butters. Also, a pure roasted sesame seed paste was produced. With such a large commitment by the MacIntyre team to optimise cycle times for pure chocolate and compound, over the past 12 months, the seed paste trials have been a good demonstration of the versality of the MacIntyre Refiner/Conche and a reminder of the variety of products being manufactured by MacIntyre customers all around the world.

October-December 2021
S EA S O N I N G T ECHN O L OG Y packaging station without crosscontamination. Regardless of throughput, maintaining a steady uninterrupted flow of product through the seasoning applicator is critical. Consistent product delivery stabilises the application rate and the operation of the weigher and bagmaker, maintaining optimal performance and reducing waste. Proportional distribution solution Proportional product distribution, like that provided by Heat and Control’s FastBack® Revolution® Proportional Gate conveyor system, assures that each seasoning/packaging station receives exactly the product it requires. For small and large throughputs, the Revolution system delivers even flow of product. Especially useful for small bag packaging, it accurately controls the delivery of product necessary for high speeds. Each seasoning station has one Revolutional Gate. When the bagmaker or weigher demands product, the gate rotates to transfer the exact amount while allowing product to continue to other stations. The best On-Machine Seasoning systems measure product before it enters the seasoning applicator. Load cell conveyors, such as Heat and Control’s WeighBack™ Weigh Conveyor, continuously communicate product weight to the seasoning feeder so it can dispense the exact amount of seasoning needed. This eliminates the sanitation issues of weigh belts and produces a
October-December 2021
repeatable travel rate with more accurate product measurement than is possible with vibratory weigh conveyors. The Next Challenge Latest technology uses a twostage horizontal tumble drum to control application rates, coverage, and dwell time. Matching seasoning feed to product volume reduces waste and under-seasoning. The AccuCoat drum from Heat and Control has a cylindrical section for seasoning application, and a cone-shaped section for mixing. OMS improves processing line output, packaging efficiency, and production versatility, even for medium-capacity snack and potato products producers. Benefits Include: • P roduce greater range of products on-demand • C onsistent product quality and reduced waste • R educed warehouse requirements • L onger shelf time for the product • B etter packaging utilization • L onger equipment uptime • L ower energy usage Market flexibility As customer demand for different flavours continue to grow, OMS allows you to quickly and efficiently adjust production to meet consumer trends, including small production runs to serve niche markets. Around the Clock Production One of the biggest cost benefits of OMS is the ability to run production equipment around the clock without the normal stoppages associated with flavour changes. This alone can
account for a full shift or more of actual production, plus huge improvements in overall line efficiency – all of which greatly improve the financial bottom line. Warehouse space OMS permits just-in-time production capability that reduces the need for warehouse space. New orders can be quickly filled so product gets on the shelf faster instead of sitting in a warehouse waiting for another flavour to be run before a shipment can be completed. Energy savings Compared to a multi-lane kitchen seasoning system, OMS lines reduce the number of motors and equipment by up to 30% which also reduces energy usage by a similar amount. Where can OMS be used? Traditional and batch fried potato chips, baked and extruded products, to tortilla chips, pretzels, and crackers can all be seasoned using OMS. OMS systems make it possible to apply a different flavour at each packaging station. FastBack systems offer Modular Dust Collection systems that draw air from the tumble drum inlet area while giving an unrestricted view to operators, allowing seasonings to be contained and kept from migrating from one station to another. When not needed, these modular units can be turned off individually to save power and do not require long overhead ducting runs that require additional energy losses or cleaning.

indset & approach are just as important as technology when it comes to dealing across global markets. Trust underpins so many relationships, which can then be reinforced with classleading secondary packaging technology. As a global supplier, Cama Group knows that there are two primary elements to any successful machine order. Technology and people! Simply delivering powerful yet easy-to-use machines and helping companies to modernise their infrastructure – especially in emerging and growing markets – is just half the story. Understanding local customs, cultures and business practices is just as vital! And it is this deep appreciation of local demands and nuances
58
that has helped Cama to grow and reinforce its share in many of the world’s markets, be they established, growing or emerging. A case in point is a recent project, which saw CAMA deliver three secondary packaging machines to a confectionery manufacturer in Middle East. In this instance, according to Renato Dell’oro, Cama’s Area Sales Manager for the Middle East: “We had to have a personal mindset and approach that was just as flexible as our machines!” Cama is fortunate to have a team that has been working with the region for a number of years. “We have a sales and engineering team that is used to the market dynamics and the ways of doing business. I particularly enjoy working in this region, as it is all down to
Food Business Gulf & ME | www.foodbusinessgulf.com
gaining confidence and building close and very open and honest relationships.” The market itself is also in a state of flux, seeing rapid expansion of existing homegrown companies and huge investment from many leading multi-nationals looking to gain share. The influx of global companies is forcing many local companies to “up their game” in terms of packaging, to at least match the shelf appeal and
October-December 2021
PA CKAG I N G larger-scale economies of foreign companies. The Middle East region is rapidly evolving, especially over the last five years, and is becoming highly influenced by global trends. In fact, the Middle East is rising as one of the fastest-growing markets. While some countries in the region are facing economic instability, the market still offers low taxation compared to the European market. In mature markets, such as Europe, specifications are high on the list of considerations in order to compare services & machines before making a decision. The Middle East, as an emerging market, is less concerned with specifications and instead is interested more in machine suppliers that offer high standards in terms of people, technology and machine building. For this project Cama supplied three machines for five of customer confectionery lines. The first, a cracker line, is an IF315 top-loading monobloc packaging machine, which delivers box forming, product loading and box closing. “This is a very compact machine,” Dell’oro explains, “which uses an in-house developed delta-type robot which can deliver fast and efficient product loading based on any number of different packaging recipes. In this case the machine has to cater for four different product formats and six different box formats. “Extra flexibility was a key consideration too,” Dell’oro adds, “as the robot in the IF315 is capable of loading products onto the infeed conveyor of a downstream flowpacker, which creates flexible multipacks. From
October-December 2021
an upstream perspective, our IF315 integrates very favourably with other machines, including in this instance a machine from a company we have worked with in the past.” The second line saw the installation of two IF296 toploading monobloc packaging machines, both of which accept two in-feeds and package sandwich-style biscuits/cookies. In this application there is even greater variety, with seven flowpacked product formats and 11 box formats. The Cama IF series – based on the company’s award-winning modular Monobloc architecture – offers users a unique combination of integrated packaging machines and robotic loading units. Through tight integration of each of the primary modules (forming, loading and closing), Cama has developed a machine that delivers the incredible flexibility demanded by the confectionary industry, but within a reduced footprint. Both machines are part of Cama’s Breakthrough Generation (BTG), which is setting the standard in secondary packaging. They comprise modular, scalable frameworks that offer easy entry and access, coupled to a hygienic machine design. Within this framework, contemporary
automation solutions, including advanced rotary and linear servo technology, is tightly coupled to in-house-developed robotics, to deliver the all-important flexibility and adaptability required by modern packaging operations. According to Dell’Oro: “Servo technology is used throughout the machine, which is what gives it its excellent flexibility for format and packaging-count changes. The robot solution used has been developed in house by Cama, which means we can deliver perfect robot/machine synergy. We are unique in the market in this respect. By removing thirdparty robotic controllers, we can also sidestep any potential communication conflicts that can affect output. The robot technology has been specifically perceived for secondary packaging applications and, due to this in-house development, when our technicians install the machines or troubleshoot any issues, they are 100% capable of servicing the robot technology, too. Our customer recognized that the design of the machines and the know how that they got from the project team was also a major feature that any technical team will be looking for.

GEA INJECTING VALUE INTO THE SEAFOOD SECTOR
L
eading technology provider GEA Food Solutions has launched automated injection systems suitable for the hygienic handling of a variety of fish, including cod fillets, salmon and mackerel. Configuration of the needle pattern can be adapted according to species, whether injecting brine, marinating or flavoring products. There are multiple reasons for injecting fish with brine, most important is the need to ensure product safety especially for ready-to-eat products. Brines include salts and additives that help to inhibit bacterial growth, such as listeria, and to extend the product’s shelf life and flavor to make sure that it arrives with the consumer in perfect condition. If fish is dried & smoked, it will lose weight in the process. Adding brine before smoking ensures that the product remains succulent, with less protein loss, while it absorbs the characteristic smoked flavors. GEA’s 2mm injection concepts
62
such as the MultiJector introduce brine in a high-density injection pattern, combined with the right injection pressure, avoiding injection points becoming saturated which can cause the brine to leak out. A higher density of needles allows less brine per needle to be injected at a lower pressure. It also means reduced downtime spent cleaning the equipment and surrounding environment. Senior product sales manager for GEA, Bjarne Lyngø, explains that a tight needle pattern, in combination with immediate post-injection handling such as shaking or vibration, helps close needle marks while the brine is more easily absorbed by the fish, improving the flavor. For good vibrating the GEA MultiShaker is the market leader. Shaking the fish with highfrequency vibrations achieves even better distribution of brine. To complete the line there is the cool GEA SuperChill. This accurate temperature-controlled
Food Business Gulf & ME | www.foodbusinessgulf.com
brine chiller reduces both injection pick-up variation and post-injection purge enabling manufacturers to provide a better, more consistent product. GEA injection, shaking and chilling technology is designed to work together with safety and accuracy built in through decades of experience and engineering excellence. As a result, product quality and consistency are significantly increased, and higher efficiency can be achieved. Without a doubt the seafood industry benefits from GEA’s unique brine injection technology. This is driven by an understanding of the process and the quality of the equipment deployed to carry out the tasks involved. This ensures that the benefits extend from the processor to the reseller and ultimately to the all-important end consumer. For more information, visit www.gea.com

By keeping our finger on the pulse of the latest developments and delivering a complete range of solutions, we can help solve more of our customers’ holistic challenges. The Givaudan ‘Food Experiences’ definition is unique: we look at multi-sensorial events along the full length of the consumer journey. From interacting with a product’s

packaging on a shelf, to preparing and consuming the food or the beverage at home, Food Experiences provide both immediate and long-lasting physical and emotional benefits throughout that journey. With our partners, we’re working to cocreate the ‘Food Experiences’ we know consumers are looking for. Q: What exactly is happening on the Givaudan stand? We recently realigned our portfolio to better reflect how we support customers to deliver future facing food experiences that consumers love and value. Anchoring our flavour, taste, natural functional and nutritional capabilities around the concept of food experiences enables us to link what we do with the benefits that consumers expect from the food, beverages and nutraceuticals they consume.
October-December 2021
Our portfolio of products, programmes and services is organised into three Food Experiences spaces, ‘Feel Good’, ‘Does Good’ and ‘Imagine’ – all of which will be showcased at Gulfood Manufacturing. The ‘Feel Good’ Food Experience space encompasses Givaudan’s flavour, taste, colour, preservation and texture capabilities – creating sensory experiences that feel good, surprise and delight. We’ll be sharing some of our street food flavours with a Food Truck experience with Middle Eastern, Asian, and African-inspired tastes that we know will be a hit with our customers and their consumers across the region. The ‘Does Good’ Food Experience space covers our nutrition and health related portfolio of botanicals, bioactives and technologies that reduce
sugar, fat and sodium. On the stand, we’ll be showcasing new products, flavours and ingredients that do good, and respond to the rising interest in food for health supported by regional consumer insights. The ‘Imagine’ Food Experience space includes our Integrated Solutions capabilities as well as tools and programmes that enable discovery, innovation, creation and collaboration with customers and partners. At Gulfood Manufacturing we have some truly innovative experiences – including Atom, the first AI-designed drink with tropical flavours inspired by data from thousands of consumers. We expect a huge amount of interest in this ground-breaking product. It really shows how we are working with our customers to imagine the future of food, together. We’ll also have a VR experience which showcases our work in plantbased proteins and some exciting innovations in this high-growth space.

NEW RESEARCH FROM HARVARD EXPLORES LINK BETWEEN WALNUT CONSUMPTION AND LIFE EXPECTANCY F indings show a connection between regular walnut consumption and greater longevity, as well as reduced risk of death from cardiovascular diseases. According to a study by researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, higher walnut consumption – both in terms of the amount and frequency – may be associated with a lower

risk of death and an increase in life expectancy among older adults in the U.S., compared to those who do not consume walnuts. “What we’ve learned from this study is that even a few handfuls of walnuts per week may help promote longevity, especially among those whose diet quality isn’t great to begin with. It’s a practical tip that can be feasible for a number of people who are

looking to improve their health, which is top of mind for many people,” said Yanping Li, Senior Research Scientist at the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and lead investigator of this research. This study, supported by the California Walnut Commission and published in Nutrients, found five or more servings of walnuts per week (one serving = one ounce) may provide the
October-December 2021
R ES EA R C H greatest benefit for mortality risk and life expectancy. Eating five or more servings per week was associated with a 14% lower risk of death (from any cause), 25% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases, and a gain in about 1.3 years of life expectancy, compared to those who didn’t consume walnuts. Consuming walnuts two to four times per week could have its benefits, too, with the study finding a 13% lower risk of death overall, 14% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases, and a gain in about one year of life, compared to non-walnut consumers. Interestingly, even among people with a suboptimal diet, as measured by a validated index based on foods and nutrients predictive of chronic disease risk, just a one-half serving per day increase in walnut consumption was associated with benefits, including 12% reduced risk of death and 26% lower risk of death from cardiovascular diseases, specifically. For this study, researchers examined data from 67,014 women of the Nurses’ Health Study with an average age of 63.6 years and 26,326 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study aged 63.3 years in 1986 (the first cycle collected data of walnut consumption in both cohorts). Participants were relatively healthy when they joined the studies (e.g., free of cancer, heart disease, and stroke) and were followed for about 20 years (1998-2018). Dietary intake was assessed every 4 years in which participants
October-December 2021
reported on their overall dietary intake - including how often they consumed walnuts, other tree nuts, and peanuts – as well as lifestyle factors like exercise and smoking status. Based on this data, the researchers were able to identify associations between walnut consumption at varying levels and different health indicators related to longevity. As a prospective observational study, these results do not prove cause and effect, but they do shed light on how walnuts may support an overall healthy lifestyle that promotes longevity. Participants who consumed greater amounts of walnuts tended to be more physically active, have a healthier diet, lower alcohol consumption, and take multivitamins. All of these factors could influence
life expectancy, however, the researchers adjusted for these aspects in their analysis. In addition, it’s important to note that this data was collected before the current COVID-19 pandemic. One ounce of walnuts is a powerhouse of important nutrients for optimum health, including protein (4g), fiber (2g), a good source of magnesium (45mg) and an excellent source of the essential omega-3 ALA (2.5g).
