Ingredient specialist to exhibit three proprietary technologies in Barcelona RAPS will present its ingredient solutions at Alimentaria FoodTech 2026 in Barcelona from October 6–8, occupying booth B250 in Hall 2. The exhibition will feature live tastings and direct access to RAPS experts with knowledge of the Iberian market.
Portfolio and technology focus The company's display will showcase seasoning blends, marinades, savoury preparations, fillings, and functional compounds formulated from high-quality raw materials. Three proprietary technologies underpin the portfolio: RAPS Freshline Technology for all-in-one systems using chilled and frozen raw materials; CO2 Extraction for solvent-free, standardized extracts with consistent flavor intensity; and Microencapsulation for controlled release, improved stability, and reliable functional performance. Tasting samples will span meat, plant-based and hybrid products, dairy and spreads, bakery, sauces and dips, and confectionery. Featured products include hybrid meat balls with added protein, jalapeño and cheese-filled pastry balls, and a Korean BBQ-style hummus dip.
Market positioning RAPS maintains a dedicated team with direct market presence and established expertise in the Spanish and Iberian food industry. The company combines this local knowledge with its broad ingredient portfolio and application competence to deliver tailored solutions for regional customers and production processes. "At Alimentaria in Barcelona, we look forward to presenting ingredient solutions that are directly relevant to the Iberian food industry," says Agneta Hoffmann, Chief Marketing Officer (Product & Marketing) of the RAPS Group. "Our team on the ground understands the market, and our tasting programme reflects both the breadth of our portfolio and our commitment to application-driven development."
