SUMMARY:Thermo Fisher Scientific: Alternative protein and plant-based meat
DESCRIPTION:Thermo Fisher Scientific: Alternative protein and plant-based meatPast\n\n\n\n\nThermo Fisher Scientific’s new weekly webinar series focuses on alternative proteins and plant-based meats. Tune in on Tuesdays beginning September 13th through October 18th where a new speaker will share their expertise during a talk followed by a 10-minute live Q&A session. GFI Senior Scientist\, Priera Panescu\, Ph.D\, will lead the talk on October 18th.  \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nGFI Senior Scientist Priera Panescu\, Ph.D. will deliver a talk on the “effects of extrusion on protein functionality and digestibility” on October 18th at 11:30 am EDT. \n\n\n\nExtrusion is a scalable\, effective mechanical process that can create meat analogues with fibrous textures\, thus enhancing the taste and texture of alternative protein products. One potential bottleneck for consumer acceptability is that extrusion processing adds to conceptions that alternative protein products are “highly processed” and\, therefore\, unhealthy. In reality\, literature studies demonstrate that extrusion cooking enhances protein digestibility\, reduces antinutrient content\, and can reduce ingredient allergenicity.  \n\n\n\nThis talk will review studies that demonstrate the effects of extrusion on plant protein digestibility and nutrition. There will also be an emphasis on research gaps that should be further explored to demonstrate the benefits and potential pitfalls of extrusion cooking for the production of meat analogues. \n\n\n\n\n\nGFI speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPriera Panescu\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\n\n\nSENIOR SCIENTIST – PLANT-BASED SPECIALIST \n\n\n\nPriera Panescu is focused on analyzing plant-based meat and proteins and how to best expedite their progress. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about Priera\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											McNamara Alumni Center\n																	\n				\n				\n					Bridge2Food North America\n				\n				\n							\n				Join GFI at Bridge2Food North America\, where food industry leaders will gather to explore the latest developments in ingredient innovation… \n\n			\n								\n										\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											FAO Headquarters\n																	\n				\n				\n					World Food Forum 2026: Protein diversification for the Global South\n				\n				\n							\n				How can protein diversification strengthen food systems across the Global South?
