Healthfulness, Flavor and Food Safety

Two-Minute NutraNews Break with David Feder

David Feder suggests today's food chemists strive to surpass the tradition of profit before flavor.

David Feder, RDN, has been a food, nutrition and health journalist for 26 years. In spite of an academic background that began with psychology and biblical archaeology, David cut his teeth as a celebrated chef in Texas during the 1970s and 1980s, helping pioneer haute-health & fusion cuisines in high-end restaurants and hotels. In the 1990s he became a registered dietitian while completing research and coursework toward a Ph.D. in nutrition biochemistry at the University of Texas at Austin. Along the way he taught food science and nutrition while practicing as a nutrition counselor.

This exclusive webinar, sponsored by Amano Enzyme, outlines the use of a specialty enzyme that increases the umami of plant-based protein within the fibrous meat texture of texturized plant proteins. This “must-see” webinar will graphically demonstrate how this is accomplished with hard data including meat analog graphs, sample analyses, and sensory profiles.

Consumers continue to evolve when it comes to their expectations and choices with “clean label” food selections. Webinar panelists will discuss trends and technical solutions—for both today and tomorrow—involving clean label, plant-based, and processed foods and beverages.
