The Business of Alt Protein: How to formulate great-tasting plant-based products
Event description
Research consistently shows that taste is one of the primary drivers of food choice, and creating plant-based products that taste like their conventional counterparts is key to expanding the consumer base for plant-based proteins.
Join taste and flavor experts from Givaudan, one of the world’s largest flavor companies, for a presentation and discussion on formulating plant-based meat products that taste the same as or better than their conventional counterparts.
Topics include:
- How to use flavor to replicate the taste of animal protein and fat.
- When to add flavor in your manufacturing process.
- Key considerations for achieving a meaty flavor.
- The nuances of seafood flavor.
- Audience Q&A.
Speakers
- Ozlem Ladd – Savory Flavorist
- Erica Boyd – Senior Application Scientist, Savory and Plant Protein
