Cargill to Discuss Functional Foods for Joint Health at IFT Conference
The Developing and Marketing Products for Consumer Health and Wellness Conference provides food professionals with practical, actionable information that can help meet product development challenges with unique solutions.
26/02/08 Brent Rogers, a technical manager at Cargill, will discuss the opportunities available in targeting the joint health market --with insights on formulation with functional ingredients in products targeted to boomers and athletes -- at the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Developing and Marketing Products for Consumer Health and Wellness Conference, Feb. 27-28, in Chicago.
“The food industry is making strides in delivering functional food solutions that can make a real difference, but more can and should be done to provide solutions that address specific health needs of consumers,” said Rogers. “This discussion will provide an overview on the delivery of health benefits through food, and glucosamine’s role in joint health,” he said.
Cargill’s REGENASURE Glucosamine is produced from a vegetarian source and is the only commercially available non-animal, non-shellfish and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) glucosamine made domestically. Other glucosamine products on the market are derived from shellfish (shrimp, crab, etc.) shell waste.
The Developing and Marketing Products for Consumer Health and Wellness Conference provides food professionals with practical, actionable information that can help meet product development challenges with unique solutions. The event will be focused on five of the most rapidly growing market segments associated with health and wellness products: Active/Sports Nutrition, Aging Management, Cardiovascular Health, General Health & Wellness and Weight Management.
