Today, consumers are increasingly concerned about what they eat or drink. In addition to the experience itself of eating and drinking regarding taste and texture, mindful consumption is now a key element they consider when consuming a product. It is even more the case since new mechanisms to help them find the right product have seen the light of day like Nutri-S+core in Europe for example but also digital applications to scan food products and their components. All these new concerns affect industry players in producing food products with balanced nutritional profile of sugar, fat, fibre, and protein.
