What is NinjaPaste developed by NinjaFoods?
Sydecas Inc. launched the food tech business “NinjaFoods” in 2020 with the aim of realizing “a world where everyone can enjoy delicious food without restrictions”. Developed “NinjaPaste” based on konjac, a traditional Japanese healthy vegetable ingredient. This paste-like konjac material is mixed with other materials, and then heated, frozen, or dried to reinforce the target fibers and form an irreversible gel to achieve strong binding molding.
NinjaPaste
After molding, it is resistant to retort processing and frozen storage, so it has the potential to become a key material indispensable for the development of new food ingredients. Since it is possible to mold foods that take advantage of the goodness of the ingredients without using gelatin, eggs, or starch syrup, NinjaPaste combine various new ingredients to create “next-generation foods.”
