Presenters at Prepared Foods' R&D Applications Seminars gave formulation advice for meeting consumer demands for healthy, higher protein snack offerings
Diana Seevers, senior application scientist, DuPont Nutrition & Health, focused her seminar topic, healthy snacking, on the benefits and challenges of adding minimally processed protein. The seminar started off by reporting on consumer dynamics surrounding protein. Then, Seevers provided data about protein sources, functionality and the profitability of introducing these popular proteins into the snacking niche.
Seevers did not shy away from discussing the complications businesses will encounter when going clean label with protein additions. She instead offers solutions, formulating processes and ingredients that will help maintain safety regulations and increase product shelflife.
