Protein Enrichment in Biscuits

Today’s consumers have a strong focus on their wellbeing and physical health. Due to the health advantages of protein, high-protein foods and beverages represent a long-term market trend. Consumers look for convenient snacks with a high-protein content to help them stay full for longer and manage their energy intake throughout the day.

The presentation will include insights on market information as well as the challenging parameters and how to overcome these when developing high protein biscuits qualifying for the EU high-protein claim (min 20% protein based on energy) and at the same time ensuring nice tasting and delicious products.
