One can scarcely open a food trade magazine, e-newsletter, consumer study or stroll an event like the 2017 Natural Products Expo West without hearing about the growing interest in plant-based foods. However, proteins from plant sources taste, function and are nutritionally different from animal sourced once, many which form the “gold standards” that consumers have come to expect.
If your new product development initiatives include the growing popularity of plant proteins, then attending Global Food Forums’ 2017 Protein Trends & Technologies Seminar is a must.
This event’s technical program features seven expert speakers providing key insights into the functional characteristics, flavoring, analysis, and regulatory issues that are relevant to optimal use of plant proteins:
· Disruptive Ingredient Technologies: Characterizing Plant Proteins to Predict Optimal Food Matrix Use
Speaker: Denis Chéreau, Ph.D., General Manager, IMPROVE SAS
· Plant Protein Use in Gluten-free, Grain-based & Non-Grain based Foods
