SUMMARY:Joint IAFNS/AOCS Webinar on Interesterified Oils in Food
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nInteresterified oils are used by the food industry as a replacement for partially hydrogenated fats\, offering the functionality of solid fats—such as texture\, stability\, and mouthfeel—without producing trans fatty acids. Through a chemical or enzymatic process\, the fatty acids on triglycerides are rearranged\, allowing manufacturers to tailor melting profiles and performance for baked goods\, spreads\, and confectionery. From a food science perspective\, this innovation has been critical in maintaining product quality while meeting regulatory and consumer demands. From a nutrition standpoint\, the picture is more nuanced. While interesterified fats eliminate trans fats\, questions remain about how these structural modifications influence lipid metabolism\, glucose regulation\, and long-term cardiovascular health. This webinar will explore both dimensions—the technological rationale driving their use in modern food systems and the emerging nutrition science.

SUMMARY:Formulating Functional Foods: What Works\, What Doesn’t
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAs consumers demand foods that do more than nourish—products that promise energy\, immunity\, focus\, or gut health—food scientists face the complex challenge of turning these aspirations into reality. In this fast-moving\, insight-packed webinar\, experts will reveal the science\, strategy\, and regulations behind formulating truly functional foods that deliver on their claims and delight the senses. Attendees will gain a front-row view into what works—and what doesn’t—when balancing bioactive efficacy\, taste\, texture\, and stability. From navigating FDA and EFSA regulations to optimizing ingredient bioavailability and avoiding formulation pitfalls using AI technology\, you’ll learn the secrets to creating products that perform in the lab\, in the marketplace\, and on the palate. Whether you’re developing your next probiotic beverage or plant-protein snack\, this session will help you innovate with confidence—and stay on the right side of science and compliance.
