Project title: - Reduced Fat and salt in soups, sauces and ready meals by utilisation of novel processing to create novel microstructures
Project Background: The project will aim to develop healthier products within the fresh category that deliver an improved nutritional composition whilst still maintaining great taste and quality. The innovative aspect is the use of cutting edge technology and ingredients without the need for the addition of flavours to deliver reductions in nutrients that are commonly over consumed in the UK diet (such as fat, saturates, sugar and salt). This will help to facilitate progress on some key government initiatives outlined in the Public Health Responsibility Deal Pledges and aims to impact on a large number of food products and therefore have a positive impact on consumer health. The resulting outputs could revolutionise product formulation throughout the food industry to deliver high quality products with improved nutritional credentials.

Feedback from a recent intern
Anais Laurent from the University of Lorraine whom was with us between February 2017 and July 2017
"This internship was in relation with an industrial bakery and had for goal to extend the mould shelf life of their products from 6 to 10 days. Realising this internship with New Food Innovation has been a great experience and allowed me to develop several skills. Indeed, working with enterprises was different from working in a research lab and therefore it was so interesting. I learned how to work with different peoples with different environment and formation and explain the purpose and the results of my work to them. All these skills are valuables so I’m very grateful to have had this opportunity."
