22 October 2009

Visitors to Food Ingredients Europe (17-19 November) will want to take advantage of the opportunity to extend their visit to Frankfurt to attend this special event – and to hear the latest thinking and research findings from Volac too!

Learn about the latest research findings, challenges and market opportunities in the field of sports and performance nutrition from an impressive panel of experts and network at the conference dinner with other participants in this exciting high growth industry segment.

Dr Naomi Grant, Technical Manager for Volac and Deputy Chair of the European Sports Nutrition Association, will speak on day two of the conference on the role of whey protein in active lifestyles.  Naomi will present the latest scientific research on how protein intake and muscle support requirements change as people progress through life, explain the advantages of whey protein, and demonstrate how regular consumption of whey protein-fortified food and drink products can help maintain lean muscle tissue and improve calcium absorption, leading to a life-long healthier and more active lifestyle.

Naomi will cover scientific research available to support manufacturers’ nutritional claims and will offer valuable insights into the future applications and market growth opportunities for whey protein-based sports nutrition products. 

Based on over ten years of specialism in sports nutrition, Volac offers manufacturers a comprehensive range of nutritional whey proteins suitable for this high growth market sector.  Volactive Heat Stable for clear fruit sports drinks and ProCrisp for crispy cereal are both examples of Volac whey protein products that address the nutritional requirements of the sports sector and beyond, whilst combining the key consumer-winning ingredients of taste, ease of application, and convenience.
