Tate & Lyle Research Landscape: Recent R&D and Innovation Focus Areas

This landscape reveals what Tate & Lyle is actively researching on recently. It organizes signals from patents into clusters of real scientific and technical questions being explored, showing where Tate & Lyle is repeatedly investing effort, building knowledge, and reducing uncertainty. The result is a forward-looking view of strategic intent , often visible months or years before it appears in products, partnerships, or financial disclosures of Tate & Lyle.

What are Tate & Lyle's key R&D focus areas?

Glycosyltransferase mediated steviol glycosylation

(3)problems

The cluster focuses on the engineering of specific GT and SUS enzymes to control the regioselective glycosylation of steviol glycosides. This enables the precise molecular transformation of common stevia compounds into high-value, rare rebaudiosides.

Inhibited pregelatinized waxy starch

(1)problems

The engineering of starch rheology through chemical inhibition and thermal pregelatinization of high-amylopectin (waxy) sources. This controls viscosity stability and textural integrity in aqueous food systems.

Chickpea protein isolate fractionation

(2)problems

The engineering of specific fiber structures and the removal of antinutritional factors from plant-based matrices. This controls the digestibility and functional purity of protein concentrates.
