This includes reformulating food, using innovative and sustainable technologies, and designing new foods while considering emerging interindividual features that drive personalised nutrition.
The focus is on promoting consumer health through improved food, diet, and nutrition, while also taking into account the large inter-individual variability of response to the diet and promoting careful personalisation of consumption.
After the greetings from the president of the OnFoods Foundation, Daniele Del Rio, and the introduction by Spoke 4 leader, Patrizia Riso, each Work Package will present its research activities.
The presentations will begin with WP1 (Product and process innovation) and continue with the others: WP2, Product characterization by advanced analytical approaches; WP3, Healthy, sustainable, and personalised precision nutrition; WP4, Innovation in food design and scaling-up.
To close the meeting, there will be an introduction to the funded projects within the Spoke 4 cascade call, updates and future research directions from the ECS, and concluding remarks by Patrizia Riso.
