Narinder Bains, the project coordiantor (iNeuvo Ltd, UK), discussed ‘Finding new ways to valorise industrial side streams for use in food, feed, cosmetics and packaging’. This BBI project will produce functional innovative ingredients from paper and agro-food by-products through sustainable and efficient tailor-made biotechnological processes for food, feed, pharma and cosmetics.
Every year the European Federation of Food Science and Technology (EFFoST) organises this prestigious academic food science and technology conference to facilitate knowledge and technology exchange among food professionals and to promote connection and collaboration between food scientists and technologists.
