Professor Martin Cole, Dr John Carragher, Professor Maria Saarela – Plant protein food initiatives at the University of Adelaide and SARDI
WRI, School of Ag, Food and Wine, SARDI
WHEN: Thursday 11th March 2021, 12pm
Abstract
Food companies are responding to consumer concerns about the climate change, environmental sustainability and animal welfare implications of increasing global meat consumption. To accommodate/take advantage of the increasing prevalence of vegetarian or flexitarian food options food companies are making a range of products from plant proteins that mimic the texture, taste and flavours of meat. Another market opportunity is the growth of the wellness and fitness sector with protein bars, workout supplements and shakes made from milk (whey) and /or plant protein ingredients. Many of these plant protein ingredients are made from soybean, but protein extracts from other legumes (eg peas, chickpeas) are also now appearing. South Australia grows a lot of legume crops – how are SARDI and the University of Adelaide responding to this exciting era of ingredient development? Come along and find out!
The seminar will be both face-to-face in Charles Hawker Conference Centre and as a webinar.
