Topic: How to balance dairy and non-dairy while maintaining taste and consumer demand
There is a growing move towards increased use of plant proteins to meet sustainability requirements. This shift presents several technological challenges, as current food production processes are largely optimised for animal proteins. In addition, the development of fully vegan dairy-mimic products can present issues related to off-flavours, antinutritional factors, and insufficient nutritional quality. Combining plant-based ingredients with dairy in hybrid products can offer the best of both worlds, providing optimal taste and health benefits while increasing the intake of plant-based foods and limiting animal product consumption. In this presentation, we will explore how to achieve this balance in an evidence-backed way, without compromising nutritional value or consumer appeal.
