WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
The Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences (IAFNS), in partnership with AOCS, presents a webinar on in vitro protein screening from 10:00 AM – 12:15 PM CDT on June 24.
Growing consumer demand for protein foods and the use of alternative protein sources drive the need for foods providing quality protein beyond traditional protein food forms. In vitro protein digestibility is a cost-effective, ethical, and feasible means to screen ingredients and processing parameters in order to make decisions that maintain or improve protein quality of the food products.
Food ingredient and product developers will learn about new in vitro protein digestibility methods that, when combined with amino acid composition, allow them to calculate the quality of protein in the final product or to screen ingredients in order to make decisions at the formulation stage.
Webinar co-chairs – Barbara Lyle, PhD, IAFNS, and Fiona Liu, MSc, AOCS
