Foodpairing: a possible route for innovation in the fruit sector.

Foodpairing is a new and innovative approach to valorize fruit which is not suited for the fresh market. The foodpairing combines a thorough chemical analysis and identification of aroma and flavour compounds of fruits species or varieties. By datamining, a search is started to look for suitable combinations of aroma compounds of other food materials (raw or processed). For each compound, the fruit is scored for its fit with the ohter food materials in the database. As a consequence, the foodpairing exercise is an inspriring tool for food producers, food processors or restaurants to develop new products, An increased use of fruits in processed food products will bring an additional value to the fruit grower.
