In this case study, an international food ingredients company engaged CPL Business Consultants to investigate a potential opportunity addressing post prandial lipemia.
Postprandial lipemia (PPL) is the prolonged increase of lipids in the blood, which can also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CD). The client received details of a novel ingredient which could potentially reduce the incidence of PPL and, therefore the risk of CD.
The objective of this brief overview was to provide assistance in determining whether the client should move forward in this area and, if so, how.
Over a short time period, CPL was able to investigate the ingredient e.g. through its networks, in-house information and publicly available sources. The report informed a board-level discussion on whether the client should pursue the opportunity further.
