From Dave Fusaro, Editor-In-Chief, Food Processing:
Immunity has long been a concern for some consumers, but many more are on that bandwagon as a result of the pandemic. What are the prospects for immunity boosting ingredients like vitamins C, D and E, zinc and antioxidants—and their plant sources (tropical superfruits, turmeric, elderberry, blackcurrant)—as well as probiotics/prebiotics? And what are the best food or beverage products to deliver those ingredients and their benefits?
