A new technology called iWeld™, developed by the Israeli start-up Torr, has the potential to revolutionize the way natural ingredients are bound together, from cashew nuts to peanuts and grains to fruits. An innovative approach with a direct application to cereal bars and beyond.
The technology combines sound waves and the right compression pressure to bind natural ingredients without the use of sugary binders, commonly used in cereal bars. The process preserves the nutritional profile and structural integrity of the ingredients, creating new opportunities for mixing textures and creating entirely new savory products.
The implementation of iWeld™ technology has the potential to bring exciting changes to the food industry starting with sugar reduction. "While the tech may be used to reduce sugar, we aim for a bigger play. No added sugar is an obvious one. Unmasked flavor and texture are also key features, but the tech goes beyond and allows new combinations, flavors and textures, catering to a “better for you” world. To be honest we aim to revolutionize the snacking category" shared with us co-founder Gil De Picciotto.
