Join us on July 9 at 4:00 PM CET for our upcoming webinar

This webinar provides with an overview of the rapidly growing market for “free-from” and “rich-in” food products. The session will explore the scientific, technological, regulatory, and consumer aspects driving the development of foods that meet specific nutritional and health-related needs.
Participants will gain insights into the formulation challenges and opportunities associated with products that are free from lactose, added sugars, cholesterol, gluten, and other unwanted components, while also delivering enhanced nutritional value through high protein, high fiber, and functional bioactive ingredients.

Key topics include:

Market trends and consumer expectations in the free-from and enriched food sectors.
Ingredient selection and technological solutions for sugar, lactose, and fat replacement.
Strategies for protein and fiber enrichment while maintaining product quality and sensory acceptance.
Emerging functional ingredients and bioactive compounds for health-promoting foods.
Regulatory considerations and nutrition/health claims.
Case studies highlighting successful product development and innovation.

The webinar aims to provide practical knowledge and scientific insights to support the design of next-generation foods that combine nutritional benefits, clean-label appeal, and consumer satisfaction.
