Textured Vegetable Protein

There is now an increasing awareness of, and a growing concern for future nutrition requirements of affluent nations as well as developing countries. Demand for foods of familiar texture, flavor, color, appearance, and bite has resulted in the development of textured vegetable protein products. The technology of these products makes it possible to convert nutritious but unappetizing high-protein oilseed meals to familiar foods of any culture, ethinc, or geographic requirement. The resulting products provide both the organoleptic qualities and nutritional requirements which a high-protein food must contribute to the diet.

Micronutrient Intake

Nutrition is important for human health in all stages of life - from conception to old age. Today we know much more about the molecular basis of nutrition. Most importantly, we have learnt that micronutrients, among other factors, interact with genes, and new science is increasingly providing more tools to clarify this interrelation between health and nutrition. Sufficient intake of vitamins is essential to achieve maximum health benefit. It is well established that in developing countries, millions of people still suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. However, it is far less recognized that we face micronutrient insufficiencies also in developed countries.
