🌍 The formulation of the future demands data, not guesses
The development of wholesome, lasting, and cost-effective foods requires advanced tools.
Currently, creating a product means balancing:
- 📌 Nutritional factors
- 📌 Costs linked to ingredients
- 📌 Sustainability requirements
- 📌 Technological and functional conditions
At Yuït we understand that, to move forward in this complexity, it is essential to integrate craft and knowledge from the start.
💡 What is FOODATA?
FOODATA is a practical research project aimed at developing a digital platform for smart food formulation.
The tool will combine:
- 🔬 Models based on the makeup and pricing of ingredients
- ⚙️ Multi-goal optimization methods (nutrition ↔ cost)
- 📊 Simulation and display of formulations before their real development
- 📈 Mass balance adjusted to the production process
A digital setting designed to ease evidence-based decisions, speeding up innovation without sacrificing nutritional quality or economic efficiency.
🤝 A partnership with a vision for impact
The FOODATA project is led by a partnership covering different links of the food sector:
- 🔹 Yuït – Foodcraft specialized in functional nutrition and full food formulation
- 🔹 AZTI – Leading technology center in food research and development of digital solutions applied to the sector
- 🔹 FRIBASA – Company with long experience in the meat industry
- 🔹 Echebastar – Key operator in the fishing sector and processing of sea products
A collaboration designed to blend knowledge, production experience, and technological vision.
