Research, product development and innovations

We want to promote a future-proof, sustainable way of producing and consuming food. Building a sustainable food system is a monumental task that requires networks, partners and the joint processing of knowledge.

We are focusing on the growth areas of our strategy

Plant stanol ester solutions

Since 1995, we have been helping people eat healthier with our products containing plant stanol. Combining plant stanols and rapeseed oil produces plant stanol ester, a unique ingredient patented by Raisio that can be added to foods. Decades of research have shown that plant stanols lower cholesterol by reducing the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream. High cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Today, we are also exploring what other health benefits plant stanol could have. For example, we are interested in whether plant stanol could contribute to the immune response in connection with vaccines.

Oats

Oats have plenty of uses! In addition to the desired end products and ingredients, the processing of oats also generates a wide range of side streams. We are exploring how we can use the side streams with high-value components in new ways and turn them into raw materials for food.

 

We are building our network
with an open mind

We are interested in innovations, technologies and ideas that we can take forward together with partners. Our strategy guides our choices, but insightful partnerships can reveal exciting opportunities we do not even know about yet!

The Voice of Innovations co-innovation challenge for students

Together with SHIFT Business Festival we launched a co-innovation challenge, which can reveal new innovations, technologies and ideas that could promote healthy and sustainable eating.
