Contributing to sustainable food resources
Overview
Amid concerns about the worsening of food problems due to various factors such as global population growth and loss of biodiversity due to the effects of climate change, we believe that it is an important responsibility to contribute to sustainable food resources and reduce food loss as a member of a food company.
We are developing products that make use of our proprietary technologies, expanding plant-based food ingredients to meet diversifying protein needs, and developing and providing applications. In addition, we are focusing on the development and provision of products that contribute to solving social issues, such as increasing the amount of water-pasted products and improving the texture by combining textured materials (starch) and our proprietary technology.
By combining "Oil", "Starch", and "Protein" ingredients with our proprietary technology, we will continue to contribute to the effective use of limited food resources by supplying delicious, healthy, and environmentally friendly food.

Utilizing our proprietary technology "SUSTEC®" to extend the shelf life of oil
Our Business use product "Cho Toku®" series uses our proprietary technology "SUSTEC®" to extend the time between oil changes while maintaining the same Good taste, making it possible to extend the life of frying oil by 30% compared to general frying oil (our product). Not only does it reduce the amount of raw materials (grains) used, but it also contributes to sustainable food resources and food waste reduction by reducing the amount of waste oil.

Contributing to sustainability with plant-based proteins
Livestock farming requires many resources, including grains, which are essential for feeding livestock, water, and farmland for growing grains. In addition, methane emitted from the stomach and intestines of cows is the second most influential greenhouse gas after CO2, and is an environmental issue that cannot be ignored. In recent years, interest in plant-based proteins, which have a lower environmental impact than animal proteins, has been growing, and we are using our proprietary technology to develop alternative foods.
For example, by combining our products, including texture materials (starch), flavor oil "JOYL PRO Series," and vegetable protein ingredients, we are able to impart a juicy, meaty texture that cannot be achieved with vegetable protein alone, and to mask the unusual flavors of plant-derived ingredients.
We are committed to Good taste of plant-based food, which is attracting growing social interest, and will continue to approach the issue with a view to achieving health and reduced environmental impact. -
Utilizing texture improvement and syneresis suppression technology
As the demand for ready-made meals and take-out ready-made meal boxes to eat at home grows, there is a growing need for food moisture retention and suppression of deterioration over time, which contributes to extending the expiration date. We combine starch, a plant-derived ingredient made from corn and tapioca, with our unique technology to provide solutions for improving texture, which is one of the important elements of Good taste.
For example, our proprietary material "NEOTRUST"has the ability to retain both water and oil. It can create and maintain a variety of textures, such as chewy, crispy, and juicy, without compromising the original Good taste of the ingredients, which not only improves Good taste but also helps prevent deterioration over time.
In addition, the "ACTBODY"series has high water absorption and anti-syringe effects, allowing it to be used as a substitute for surimi to increase the amount of fish paste products (surimi) without compromising their texture. Not only does it reduce food costs, but it is also expected to be used as a material to prevent the reduction and depletion of marine resources by producing and selling this product.
Our technological capabilities in utilizing these unique materials also contribute to reducing waste during manufacturing and extending disposal times.
We will continue to contribute to solving global social issues such as conservation of food resources and reducing food waste."NEOTRUST"series usage examples Examples of using the "ACTBODY"series *A useful B2B website that solves food issues with the power of starch

initiatives to increase the proportion of low-impact products
Our definition of a low-impact product is a new or renewed product that meets at least one of the following criteria: low impact on the global environment, low impact on human work and labor environments, and response to food resource depletion. With the goal of a 100% low-impact product ratio in 2030 *, we will promote initiatives to utilize our proprietary technology "SUSTEC®" that extends product life and extend expiration dates.
