With the ageing of the population, adapting food products to the nutritional needs of seniors of all ages is becoming a crucial issue for preserving their health, independence and quality of life.
This workshop explores innovative nutritional and sensory approaches to meeting the specific needs of seniors: guaranteeing a relevant and sufficient nutritional intake, adapting textures and flavours to stimulate appetite and offering tasty food solutions that are beneficial to health.
