Innovative Ingredients

The Innovative Ingredients (INGRID) project operates to promote knowledge-based and high-tech growth in the Danish food industry, to ensure Denmark's continued strength as a world-class ingredients country.

This Kick-off conference will:

• Showcase the state-of-the-art as well as needs for innovation in functional ingredients.
  Six thematic areas have been selected: probiotics, structural ingredients, immunology and allergens, healthy fats, bioactive peptides, and fibres.

  These include: enzyme technology, nutrigenomics and nanotechnology, encapsulation, documentation of health-enhancing effects, and safety.
• Investigate the approval procedures and marketing legislation for functional ingredients.
• Gather the relevant stakeholders interested in exploring opportunities for innovation in ingredients.
• Facilitate the initiation and development of dialogue platforms, R&D projects, and training opportunities for consortia formation, funding & strategic alliance discovery, and public-private partnering.
