For Part 2 in this series, Henk continues to discuss how the food industry needs to transform and revolutionalise the way food is produced.
SALT: NOT A SWEET STORY
Sodium reduction in food products can be challenging. Salt (sodium chloride) is a highly functional ingredient. It not only makes food taste better, but it also allows a clean label, binds water, inhibits microbial growth, and costs cheap. Sodium in foods comes from multiple sources like bread, pastry, coatings (batters/ breading), canned soups, brines, and […]

SOYBEANS are known to contain specific proteins that cause allergic reactions or inhibit the absorption of other nutrients such as the so-called anti- nutritional proteins like trypsin inhibitors and lectins (carbohydrate-binding proteins). Humans and some animals have intolerances […]
Vega drammen column (Dutch)
April 2023 We kunnen het wentelen of keren, maar vroeg of laat gaat de huidige vegavlees-discussie kantelen. Van beide zijden gaan de scherpe kantjes eraf en wordt de noodzaak ingezien om de ongebreidelde vleesconsumptie in de Westerse landen te minderen, terwijl de ‘vega-idioten’ inzien dat voor grote groepen consumenten een aanslag op de gezondheid gepleegd […]
