RAPS will present its latest ingredient solutions under the banner “Ingredient Excellence by RAPS: Combining Taste & Functionality” at Alimentaria FoodTech 2026. The event takes place in Barcelona from October 6 to 8, 2026, at booth B250 in hall 2. Visitors to the stand can sample products across various categories and speak directly with RAPS experts who possess deep knowledge of the Iberian market.
Technology meets authentic taste solutions
RAPS plans to showcase a broad portfolio of ingredient solutions. The offerings include seasoning blends, marinades, savoury preparations, fillings and functional compounds crafted from high-quality raw materials. Three proprietary technologies underpin the portfolio on display: the RAPS Freshline Technology for all-in-one systems based on chilled and frozen raw materials, CO2 Extraction for solvent-free extracts, and Microencapsulation for controlled release and improved stability.
The tasting programme spans meat, plant-based and hybrid foods, dairy and spreads, bakery, sauces and dips, and confectionery. Highlights include hybrid meat balls with added protein, jalapeño & cheese-filled pastry balls as a snacking concept, and a Korean BBQ-style hummus dip.
Ingredient solutions for the Iberian market
RAPS has a dedicated team with direct market presence and established expertise in the Spanish and Iberian food industry. This local knowledge, combined with the company’s broad ingredient portfolio and application competence, enables tailored solutions that address the specific requirements of regional customers and production processes.

Having a physical team on the ground in the region provides a distinct advantage for food manufacturers adapting to local tastes. While global ingredient portfolios are common, the ability to fine-tune products for specific regional palates often determines whether a new item succeeds in a competitive market. RAPS leverages this local insight to bridge the gap between standard global formulations and the subtle preferences found on Iberian tables.
“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.”
RAPS combines over a century of ingredient and blending expertise with advanced technologies to deliver solutions that enhance taste, texture and functionality. The company processes more than 1,700 raw materials sourced worldwide and produces around 40,000 tonnes of ingredients and additives each year.
With seven production sites across Europe and a global team of over 900 employees, RAPS produces ingredient excellence across a wide range of applications. The company serves the food manufacturing, foodservice, retail and butchery sectors, delivering high-performance solutions for meat, fish and plant-based foods to sauces, delicacies, bakery, dairy, confectionery and snacks.
