IFF (NYSE:IFF) today announced the opening of its new Nourish

“This new facility is a testament to how we pioneer innovation

innovation project from concept to kitchen table, under one roof.
Using our scientific knowhow, application excellence and full
portfolio of ingredients, we’ll improve the taste and nutrition
profiles of next-generation food and beverages. With our new
culinary kitchen, we’re enabling technology focused on the
consumer-eating experience, taking food development out of the
traditional lab setting and into the kitchen.”
Conveniently located in the greater New York City area, the
cutting-edge lab will integrate IFF R&D projects with
commercial applications desired by consumers, with a special focus
on wellness, sustainability and advancing the circular economy. IFF
scientists will co-innovate with customers throughout the entire
process, allowing for increased customer feedback and faster
commercialization.
“Translating leading-edge science into consumer products
requires ingenuity and iteration,” said Gregory Yep, IFF executive
vice president, chief research and development, global integrated
solutions and sustainability officer. “The Nourish Innovation Lab
is yet another example of how IFF continues to invest in scientific
discovery. At this location and around the world, our best-in-class
science bench is foundational to our strategy to bring customers
specialized insights, while continuously looking for new challenges
and developing new-to-world solutions.”
“At the Nourish Innovation Lab, IFF will service customers using
the full portfolio of products from today’s IFF, which includes
proteins, maskers, modulators, sweeteners, seasonings, functional
ingredients, cultures and enzymes,” said Mauricio Poulsen, vice
president of Global Innovation, Creation & Design, Nourish,
IFF. “The innovation lab will support both the creation and design
needs of all key categories, including snacks, beverages, savory,
sweet, dairy, pharma and oral care. The site is the global hub for
enabling technologies including a full-scale sensory and consumer
insights lab, as well as an analytical lab.”
The Nourish Innovation Lab is one in a series of aggressive
investments IFF is making to broaden co-creation capabilities. The
160,000-square-foot Union Beach facility has served as IFF’s
premier taste and scent research center for more than half a
century, and includes a botanical garden, sensory science wing and
pilot manufacturing site. The lab’s proximity to scientists from
different backgrounds will allow for further collaboration and
out-of-the-box solutions which blend science and creativity.
“Our investment in Union Beach reinforces our commitment to
deliver advanced technologies and solutions in lock-step with our
customers,” said Adam Janczuk, vice president of global research
and development Nourish, IFF. “We’re proud of this accomplishment,
