US food major Cargill has invested in Singapore startup ProfilePrint, which grades food ingredients using artificial intelligence technology, increasing efficiency and reducing wastage along the supply chain.
“Typically what big companies will do is they will collect the beans, send it to a lab, and it takes weeks for them to assess whether they are good enough,” he said. “By the time you go through your lab test, ProfilePrint has already made the assessment on the spot.” “ProfilePrint’s digital food fingerprinting technology holds the potential to transform the global food ingredient supply chain, strengthening the sensory innovation capabilities of our ingredient portfolio without compromising on taste and quality,” said Francesca Kleemans, managing director for Cargill’s cocoa and chocolate business in Asia-Pacific, in a statement on Thursday.
The company said that its technology also helps to reduce the wastage of food ingredients and hence their carbon footprint, through reducing the frequency as well as the amount of samples sent out for grading along multiple stages of the supply chain.
