In runners, climbers, golfers, tennis and football players, and more, injuries often result from the overuse of tendons, which bind muscle to bone, and ligaments, which bind bones together. In preventing and recovering from such injuries, rest plays a key role, but so too does effective nutrition. And this is where collagen comes in. TENDOFORTE® – Bioactive Collagen Peptides® from GELITA – can help prevent sport- related injuries and help restore normal function faster, as has already been proven by a number of scientific studies.

And all this needs to be delivered while also meeting expecta- tions for more natural, minimally processed food and beverage products.
Clean solutions One way in which some manufacturers have tried to overcome the taste challenge for meat substitute products is by adding more salt. However, this can in turn lead to the issue, and indeed headlines, about the high amounts of sodium often found in plant-based products. For example, some meat-free burgers have been found to contain on average 0.89g of salt per serving, compared with 0.75g for a traditional meat burger.5 While a quick and cost-effective consumers looking for food supplements.

Stress relief in a probiotic snack Stress and anxiety have reached epidemic proportions. Soon the rise of probiotic mood foods may help us get our mental wellbeing back on track.
f you ask consumers what probiotic bacteria are good for, most will say digestive health. A good handful will mention immune health. But very few will name stress and anxiety relief. Over the next few years, that’s going to change. As science provides more insights into the so-called gut-brain axis, the ability of probiotics to influence our mood is a topic of growing interest – for consumers and the food industry. A DuPont-sponsored Gallup survey has shown that as many as 15% of consumers are interested in probiotics that can reduce feelings of stress and fatigue. That’s not so surprising when you consider the findings of a global survey by Regus Group, which revealed that 60% of workers regularly experience stress in their daily lives – at great expense to their long-term health and to the economy. In Europe alone, the International Labour Organization puts the estimated cost of work-related depression at €617 billion a year. “Our biological response to stress is healthy, as it dates back to our primal survival instinct.

Dairy protein and its role in the health of elderly people
eniors in the 21st century are “health conscious”, in other words, they actively seek to maintain good health throughout the latter part of their life. In order to respond to this ever- growing market demand, the food industry strives to offer products with an adapted nutritional profile and texture (due to issues such as small appetite, dental problems, dysphagia, taste and smell deficiencies, …). Despite these specific nutritional needs, seniors do not want to feel categorized and so, nutritional products aimed for them must be just as indulgent, attractive and functional as its counterparts aimed for other population categories. With age, we observe changes in way of life due to decline of physical capacity and evolution of psychological state. It can drive to a decrease of physical activity and a reduction of food intake. The weight loss can be important and diseases like sarcopenia and osteopenia can appear. Protein are depending on the lifestyle.1, 2 This is the potential progressive bone weakening: this is osteopenia. It extremely important to maintain the integrity beginning of sarcopenia. The most important point is possible to simplify the evolution of bone health of muscle mass and bone mass. The growing is to provide enough proteins to the body in order degradation in 3 steps. Before the age of 50, nutritional potential of dairy protein due to their to increase the muscular protein synthesis. 1.2g of mineral density is generally normal, and bones are abundance and optimal biodisponibility in all of the proteins per kilogram of the bodyweight per day is strong. Then the first complications appear: bones essential amino acids has distinguished them as a a minimum to maintain muscular mass and start to weaken and the fracture risk increase. This first-choice ingredient for development in clinical improve physical abilities. The leucine, an essential is osteopenia. At this point, the aim is to strengthen nutrition. amino acid is also very important to trigger muscle bone mass to delay osteoporosis as much as As from the age of 40 to 50 years old, a synthesis. A quantity of leucine between 2 and 3g possible, even recover a good bone health.

Over 200 million women are affected by osteoporosis. 1 out of 3 women over 50 years old will suffer from osteo- porosis. (International Osteoporosis Foundation, 2019) In the world, 33% of senior of 60 years and more, rate that mobility problems have a severe impact on their current health. 31% of global population are ready to take vitamins or supple- ments to treat or to help to prevent mobility problems.

Dietary proteins could act on different mechanisms of our body and thus have a positive impact on bone health5. Proteins increases intestinal calcium absorption and muscular mass, providing a better bone protection and reducing fall and fracture risk. A 5-years cohort study completed in 2009 showed a positive link between muscular mass increase and bone health

Thus, to maintain a good bone health, people need a diet with proteins, vitamins and minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium). Nutritional mimilklk proteinsproteins “Move Up”, high protein and high content calcium drink to & natural bbioactivesioactives prevent muscle and bones loss for a better mobility! At Vitafoods Europe 2020, Ingredia will be essentially focusing on nutrition and health in relation to the elderly population. We are pleased to for serenene agingaging present an innovative concept: a healthy and indulgent protein drink “Move Up” dedicated to seniors. High in protein (10% protein) and calories, this beverage with dairy ingredients is for better mobility by preventing sarcopenia and osteopenia. Packaged in a recyclable carton of 200ml, the beverage can be carried wherever you want and drink it throughout the day. “Move Up” is rich in protein (20g in 200ml, 31% of the DRI* of a senior of 65kg), a great source of CPP (CPP/calcium ratio: 1) all while maintaining a fluid, creamy texture. This beverage is naturally rich in micellar calcium (566mg, 47% of DRI* for an adult). “Move Up” is a high protein drink formulated with our dairy cooperative milk and two complementary ingredients: PRODIET® Fluid, a native micellar casein and Osteum™ CPP (Casein phosphopeptides), a milk protein hydrolysate. PRODIET® Fluid provides high content of leucine and its fast assimilation by the body, triggers muscle synthesis and thus avoiding muscle mass loss and prevent sarcopenia. The micellar caseins are slowly digested (fully digested up to 7 hours after ingestion), thus making them efficient to help maintain a normal turnover of protein in the body. PRODIET® Fluid has been specifically developed to formulate high protein beverages while retaining good fluidity (up to 14% protein). Osteum™ CPP provides a high content of CPP: 35%. CPP are phospho- rous rich peptide, known for the part they play in improving mineral absorption such as calcium. CPP acts as a carrier of calcium and improves its bioavailability and thus bone mineralization. *DRI: daily recommended intake

Global burden of asthma Asthma, a life-long chronic inflammatory air way disease, represents one of the most common chronic health problems. It is a non-communicable disease that affects nearly 440 million people worldwide,2 and furthermore represents the leading paediatric cause of morbidity, affecting around one in seven school aged children.3,4 Asthma, a condition generally originating early in life, is characterized by recurrent attacks of breath- lessness and wheezing. During attacks, the lining of the bronchial tubes swells, causing the airways to narrow thereby reducing flow of air in and out of the lungs. While common, it should never be forgotten that asthma can be fatal. In 2016, the Global Burden Disease Collaboration estimated that 420,000 people worldwide died from asthma amounting to more than 1000 deaths per day.2 But asthma deaths represent ‘the tip of the iceberg’ with respect to the burden of this disease. In the US alone, the annual cost of asthma has been estimated at $56 billion, with a significant

suggests, mothers who notice early signs of asthma in babies may be motivated to extend breastfeeding, thereby masking the protective effect, or even resulting in false negative associa- tions. Theories proposed to account for how breast feeding protects against asthma include breast feeding affecting epigenetic programming through DNA methylation (addition of methyl groups to DNA),14 and the physical effects of suckling resulting in increased lung capacity and airflow.15 But the prime candidate for asthma protection is the effect that breast milk has on the development of a healthy gut microbiota. Breast milk both provides the probiotic bacteria (with studies showing that it contains as many as 600 different bacterial species)16 and HMOs which are prebiotic non-digestible carbohydrates which enable selection for beneficial bacteria.
What are HMOs? Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) represent the third most plentiful ingredient in human milk after lactose (a different type of sugar) and fats. While more than 150 different HMOs have been identified so far,17,18 their composition follows a basic blueprint connecting five building blocks (glucose, galactose, N-acetyl glucosamine, fucose, and sialic acid) which are put together in a variety of different linkage patterns, that may be linear or branched and occur in different isomeric forms.19 Each mother produces a unique signature of HMOs, with the most extreme variations due to whether the woman is a ‘secretor’ producing the 2/FUT2 gene encoding the enzyme ␣-1,2 fucosyl- transferase that adds fucose to oligosaccharide chains in alpha-1,2-linkages. The result is such mothers have high 2’fucosyllactose (2’FU) content in milk; while mothers lacking the enzyme (known as non-secretors) have no or much lower levels. While intuitively HMOs should provide a rich energy source, the reality is that human infants do not possess the enzymes required to digest them. is considered to protect against asthma, although explanations for these conflicting findings, The result is that HMOs pass through the stomach some studies have produced conflicting results.

HMOs on the gut microbiota is to stimulate growth feeding. In a second study, utilizing the same CHILD In the case of asthma and breast feeding, she of beneficial bacteria, while keeping harmful cohort, Azad and colleagues found that by three years of age, infants who had been exclusively breast fed had lower risk of developing asthma than those fed with breast milk and some expressed milk, breast milk and formula, and formula alone.8 The view of breast milk protecting against asthma is supported by a meta-analysis of 117 studies conducted between 1983 and 2012 show- ing breastfeeding to be associated with a 22% reduced risk of asthma, with the strongest effects observed during early childhood.9 However, the beneficial effect was less clear in the UK Biobank study, involving over 500,000 subjects, which showed breast feeding was protective for non- atopic asthma, but not for atopic asthma.10 Furthermore, other studies have revealed that breast feeding had no effect on asthma,11 or even that breast feeding represents a risk factor for asthma in later childhood and adulthood.12 Meghan Azad suggests a number of possible

The rise of sports nutrition and the active consumer With each passing year, the concepts of health, fitness, and well-being are becoming more prominent. As the general public’s awareness of staying active is growing, the sports supplement market is moving away from the niche base of elite sportspeople. Now, casual consumers are working on their fitness routines, whether to maintain their health, develop new skills, or compensate for their increasingly sedentary lifestyles. The market shows this rise, with Euromonitor predicting a 10.6% CAGR for the sports nutrition market between 2018 and 2023.5 For the consumers who are taking charge of their fitness, keeping their joints strong and healthy is of the utmost importance. quality of their lives. relates to cartilage.

One in vivo study showed that Peptan IIm stimulates chondrocytes to produce the lubricating matrix at a low dosage, as well as being absorbed quickly and easily.9 Effectiveness at a low dosage is vital, as it offers consumers maximum convenience. Altogether, the benefits of Peptan IIm make it a strong ingredient for joint health supplements. Peptan IIm is valued by manufacturers for being safe, and highly soluble, as well as for offering exceptional application versatility: it can be integrated into a wide range of solutions, from drinks and powders to bars and gummies.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit the headlines and impacted markets around the world, the important issue of well-being had been brought to the fore and highlighted as a major trend for 2020 and beyond. According to Mintel’s Director of Innovation and Insight, David Jago, “well-being is no longer about simply wanting to look after oneself in broad terms, nor is it about the extremes of a total lifestyle change or com- mitment to an intense regime. Instead, a holistic, longer-term approach is becoming a key motivator of consumer behaviour, underpinned by conven- ience, transparency and value. Concern for our environment will also grow and successful compa- nies will be those that improve the health of the planet and its population.”
Transparency is key Consumers want to know and understand more about what is in their food and drink products, so that they can consciously make ethical and healthy buying decisions. Transparency is a powerful purchasing driver for consumers, with many actively seeking out products that promote sustainability, organic and natural ingredients, as

The coronaviruseffect According to Soil Association Certification, the UK’s organic market is set to surpass the £2.5bn sales mark by the end of the year – achieving more than 50% growth in a decade7. However, in light of the recent Covid-19 pandemic, it is highly likely this trend will be accelerated even further as a result of the increased consumer understanding of, and interest in, the link between nutrition and health. Organic foods have, not surprisingly, benefit- ted from heightened interest as consumers increasingly look to local, home grown produce and opt for foods that are considered to be safer and healthier for you during these unsettled times. Demand for organic foods doesn’t look set to dissipate quickly either once the initial pandemic surge calms. According to the research company Ecovia Intelligence8, which has analysed the buying patterns that followed in Europe after the BSE crisis and in Asia following SARS, demand for organic products will ‘remain strong’ post-Covid.

Putting it into practice BENEO‘s portfolio is based on functional ingredients derived from natural sources. Additionally, the company follows a customer- centric approach and as such, its offerings are largely determined by customer demand. With this in mind, the BENEO-Technology Center works hard to translate these ingredients into versatile recipe concepts for producers to use and adapt in their own facilities.

The expression of Collagen Synthase 3 (enzyme involved in collagen production), of Metallopeptidase 13 (MMP13 involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix and tissue remodeling), TGF and IL-10 (anti-inflammatory and proresolutive cytokines) were evaluated by real-time qPCR. Results showed a significant increase of the collagen synthesis through a decrease of the matrix metalloproteases and an increase of the collagen synthesis.

Indeed, it has been shown, in vivo, that MR (Mannose Receptor) specifically expressed by M2-like macrophages is responsible for the recog- nition and endocytosis of collagen across the fibronectin type II domain and recognizes both native collagen and hydrolyzed collagen peptides (Curino et al., 2005; Eichele et al.,2017; Engelholm et al., 2009; Madsen et al., 2013; Malovic et al.,2007; Melander et al., 2015; Napper et al., 2006; Seikh et al. 2000).

he meal preparation is relocating from the private person to the industry but the nutritional aware- ness of the population is still rising. The people want to buy ready-to- eat food but it should be healthy and free of “unknown” additives. The list of ingredients should be short and the consumer want to avoid E-numbers if possible. To give the consumers a better overview about the ingredients, the producer is allowed to claim their product as “clean label” if it is free of additives like artificial flavours, colours, allergens, aromas, sugar etc.. They are allowed to write claims like “free of….” or “with- out…” on the package if the product fulfills the requirements and if it is no advertisement with a matter of course. Since this topic is more and more common, the producer is strive to replace their additives with natural alternatives. The dietary fibre intake of western people is far too low. At the homepage of the “British Nutrition Foundation” it is written, that the average consumption is about 18 g per day instead of 30 g, which is recommended by the WHO. This deficit is mainly caused by the development of the food industry towards ready meals and junk food. People rarely buy fresh ingredients to prepare their meal by themselves, instead they buy ready-to-eat food to save time and be more flexible. The high processed food often contains low levels of nutrients like dietary fibre. Without adding extra fibre to the products the average dietary fibre intake of the population will hardly meet the recommended daily intake. Many people still don’t know the health benefits connected with dietary fibre and the disadvantages that can be caused by fibre deficiency. Dietary fibre helps our digestive system to stay healthy by stimulating the bowel move- ment. Thus the transit time of the bolus through the colon is reduced and the shortened contact time helps to prevent the bowel wall from harm- ful substances like carcinogens. Most of the dietary fibre have a prebiotic impact. The intestinal mucosa protecting bacteria can ferment the fibre reduction of cholesterol in blood and the produc- the insulin sensitivity they can regulate the blood in the gut which increase the growth of this tion of short-chain fatty acids due to the fermen- sugar level.

meal. The diet of consumers of these products often goes along with a reduction of carbohy- drates which in turn causes a reduction of dietary fibre. Some shakes contain soluble fibre but insoluble fibre is rarely to find. The issue of soluble fibre is, that in high dosages they may cause flatulence due to a quick fermentation process. In comparison, the fermentation rate of our insoluble SANACEL® fibre is much slower. So, the air will be released over a longer time and is not causing a noticeable abdominal bloating, that customers would recognize negatively. That is a big advantage for a product in order to be recognized as well tolerated. A general time span for the fermenta- tion process is not given because it is depending on the composition of anyone’s microbiome in the colon. The only challenge left for the producer is to Figure 1: Satiety with and without SANACEL stabilize the insoluble fibre in the drink and prevent the product to settle down on the bottom. There- fore we, the CFF GmbH & Co. KG, have developed a SANACEL® add blend to increase the dietary fibre content of protein shakes and dietary drinks by combining high soluble and insoluble, slow fermentable fibres. Due to this special combina- tion we created a fibre blend which do not just enrich the shake with dietary fibre but also stabilizes it and gives it a smooth mouthfeel as the soluble fibre acts like a coating around. To rate the performance of the SANACEL® add 045 a small consumer study was done by our company. The aim of this trial was to compare a fibre enriched drink with a standard drink without fibre. The study was performed as a single-blind-trial with 15 subjects. Every person had to test 2 shakes, Figure 2: Duration of satiety one enriched with fibre and one without. The trial took place at two different days at the same time in the morning. While and after consumption of the shake the subjects were asked to rate the shakes by filling out a questionnaire. Figure 1 shows, that both shakes have an effect of the satiety after consumption. The shake enriched with SANACEL® add 045 did increase the satiety slightly more compared to the same drink without SANACEL® add 045. Three hours after consumption of the shake the satiety was still noticeable. Figure 2 shows that around 25 % of the people stayed saturated for at least 3 hours after consuming a fibre enriched shake. In comparison, after intake of the shake without fibre enrichment, less than 15 % stayed sated for 3 hours. In the questionnaire it was also asked, to rate the well-being before and after consumption (Figure 3). With this small study no significant Figure 3: Well-being with and without SANACEL difference between the products could be found.
