Associate Director of RiFood Introduces New Mushroom-Based Fat Replacer AkkMore™ and Discusses Regulation of Future Foods on HOY TV

22 Aug 2025


Professor Amber CHIOU, Associate Director of RiFood, along with core member Dr Gail CHANG, were recently interviewed on HOY TV’s program “InnoAction”, where they introduced their team’s newly developed mushroom-based fat replacer, AkkMore™. This innovative fat alternative has been shown to help prevent obesity and other metabolic disorders, enhance gut health, regulate immune responses, and reduce anxiety. When used in dessert preparation, AkkMoreTM can be blended with traditional cream to significantly reduce fat and calorie content while maintaining desirable texture and mouthfeel.

Given that novel foods are expected to become a major trend in the future food market, Professor Kevin KWOK, also Associate Director of RiFood, commented during the interview that whether new regulations are needed for such foods depends on the ingredients used and whether new production methods are involved.
