This webinar is organised by IFST Food Science and Nutrition SIG
IFST is celebrating its 60th year this year and what better way to celebrate than to delve into the history of the staples milk and bread.
This second webinar will focus on bread. There will be a broad overview of how it has changed in terms of processing techniques (Chorleywood process) and ingredients, consumer trends and new product development, nutritional composition (including salt reduction) and meeting dietary needs.
Half the session is dedicated to Q&A, so there will be ample opportunity to ask the speakers questions after their presentation, perhaps on the nutritional equivalence (or otherwise) between wheat and gluten-free breads or whether changes in processing have detrimental or beneficial effects on taste, nutrition or functionality.
What participants will learn about:
- An overview of bread production techniques, including the science of different processes and ingredients
- Consumer trends and NPD
- Nutritional composition changes over 60 years
Target Audience:
Industry colleagues, Academics, Food scientists, Nutritionists, Students
