What is Targeted Nutrition?
Nutritional needs differ between population groups
“70% of consumers globally think food is personal and should be adapted to their personal needs.” – Taste Tomorrow
Nutrition is a living science that must adapt to the unique needs and challenges of individuals. In today’s world, we are confronted with growing numbers of obesity, non-communicable diseases, and malnutrition, which can be linked to an unbalanced diet. In addition, the aging population and new research related to intolerances need to be considered when addressing these consumer groups with targeted solutions.
There is a clear need for solutions that go beyond the ‘one-size-fits-all’. A growing aging population has different dietary needs than regular adults. 1 in 3 people worldwide struggle with moderate to severe food insecurity which raises the question for affordable and nutrient-dense food all over the world. Understanding these differing dietary needs and statistics is crucial in developing nutritional solutions.
Addressing the targeted nutrition trend
At Puratos, we commit to providing targeted solutions for all consumer profiles. This involves incorporating or eliminating specific components based on consumer challenges, while meeting their needs. This also means keeping up to date with the latest scientific advances and changing consumer needs.
High protein: The World Health Organization’s guidelines recommends a daily intake of 0.75g protein/kg of body weight, from different animal and plant-based sources. Although there is no protein deficiency worldwide, certain groups are recommended to consume higher amounts:
- Elderly: Increased protein helps reducing age-related muscle deterioration and prevent sarcopenia.
- People in recovery: Protein supports healing and tissue repair.
- Undernourished people: When food is scarce, adequate protein intake is at risk.
- People that want to lose weight: Protein reduces hunger and manages appetite. This will help you eat less fats or carbohydrates.
- Sports people: Protein supports muscle recovery and strength.
We developed protein-rich mixes, which help you create delicious and nutritious baked goods with an added high protein claim.
