Döhler wins “Food Innovation Award 2014” in London

Döhler has won the “Food Innovation Award 2014” as part of the “12th World Food Technology & Innovation Forum” in London. Again this year, representatives from world leading companies within the food and beverage industry, from fields of research and development, innovation, marketing and technology, met with one another in order to discuss what will move the food market of the future. This top-class audience honoured Döhler with the Innovation Award for its breakthrough in the area of “gluten-free malt extracts”.

“Gluten-free” is an emerging trend which presents new opportunities and challenges to the food and beverage industry. According to a Döhler market research, over 7,000 new products labelled “gluten-free” were introduced to the global food and beverage market in 2013 alone. Döhler detected this trend in its early stages and has intensively conducted research on a new generation of malt ingredients. The driver of innovation provides both the food and beverage industry with application-specific, gluten-free malt extracts that can be used as natural ingredients for a variety of product applications as a unique taste component, for natural colouring and sweetening. “We are delighted to have been awarded this outstanding distinction. The award proves that our intensive research has paid off,” says Marco Schmidt, Head of Innovation Management at Döhler.
