🌍 Malnutrition is a major health concern in many countries, particularly in Africa, where a large percentage of the population is affected by food and nutrition insecurity. But there’s good news: the Innofoodafrica project is tackling this issue by developing safe and nutrient-dense food ingredients that can help combat malnutrition.

🍲 Using various technologies, the project focuses on producing value-added ingredients, such as flour and fat replacers, that are rich in vitamins and minerals. For example, the creation of flour from orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, amaranth leaves, and green bananas, as well as fat replacers from Teff and maize starches.

🌟 The results of the study show the potential of these ingredients to improve health outcomes for communities affected by malnutrition, with faster drying times, improved functional and nutritional properties, and more. If you’re interested in learning more about this innovative project and how it’s making a difference check out the blog article👉👉https://innofoodafrica.eu/2023/03/…

Feeding the world is a crucial issue, and a recent event in France drew over 615,000 visitors to meet with professionals and political delegations working to address it. The event was a major success, with over 40,000 professionals and delegations from around the world in attendance. One of the highlights was the Innofoodafrica project, presented by the Joint Research Unit IATE. The project showcased the nutritional benefits of pasta products made from African raw materials, highlighting the importance of innovation in addressing global food challenges. Congratulations to the team for their fantastic work! #FeedingTheWorld #InnoFoodAfrica

Introducing our newest food innovation! 🍝🌱 Our team at the Joint Research Unit L’Institut Agro Montpellier, located in France, has developed a 100% #cowpea pasta using classical wheat pasta processing methods. In our video, we take you through the processing and quality testing of this new whole food.

This work is part of Work Package 4 of the Innofoodafrica #H2020 #EU project, which aims to promote food security and sustainable agriculture through innovation and research. By utilizing #cowpeas, a drought-resistant and nutrient-rich crop, we hope to provide a more sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional wheat pasta.

Join us in our effort to revolutionize the way we produce and consume food. Watch our video and learn more about the Innofoodafrica project! #foodinnovation #sustainability #foodafrica

2023 has been designated the #YearofMillets by the United Nations
Among different millets species, the Innofoodafrica #EU #H2020 project puts the focus on #EleusineCoracana known as #FingerMillet. We will pursue our research in 2023 on the #FingerMillet crop and also on the post-harvest sidestream. Rather than disposing of the sidestreams, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, University of Pretoria, Nofima, and Puratos Group give them a new life for food packaging applications! … See MoreSee Less
