Customised 'Protein' Nutrition
Future trends in nutrition for both humans and animals show that the formulation of food and feed products will face an increasing challenge of a global protein shortage.
Solutions to this challenge require a multi-targeted approach including efficient use of existing protein sources, and development of new protein sources for human and animal consumption. The Customised Protein Nutrition programme will deliver tailor-made solutions utilising the broad expertise of Wageningen UR and their industrial partners.
Process and product development
Novel proteins or efficient use of existing proteins will deliver new challenges in the area of product development and processing.
Immune and gut functioning
Novel proteins will deliver new opportunities in optimal immune and gut functioning.
Customisation to end-users
Malnourishment or risk thereof is highly frequent phenomenon in elderly consumers, and the use of novel protein sources and/or production technologies could help in overcoming this challenge.
