28 Aug 2019 --- By 2060 the percentage of people over sixty will outnumber that of teenagers. This creates challenges, especially within health care and social services, but also opportunities for innovation in the food industry. This is according to Dr. Minja Miettinen, Senior Research Manager, Research and Innovations at Valio, who spoke to NutritionInsight. The Finnish dairy manufacturer has developed a lactose-free milk protein powder that caters to the nutritional demands of the growing aging population, coined Valio Eila Nutri F+. The ingredient allows food manufacturers to develop formulations that utilize the benefits of phospholipids on cognitive health and create functional food products for healthy aging, Valio notes.
