Additionally\, the use of transglutaminase to improve the functional properties of mung bean and yellow peas will be discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMiek Schlangen\, M.Sc.\n\n\n\nPH.D. CANDIDATE \n\n\n\nMiek Schlangen is a GFI grantee and Ph.D. Candidate at the Food Process Engineering group at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on structuring meat analogues with next-generation ingredients. \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?
