TOMORROW’S FOOD TRENDS
By: scientistlive.com
Just what will whet consumer appetite in the near future, and what food fads
are in store? ScientistLive offers a preview of the latest food trends, from
satiety enhancers, sweeteners and nutraceuticals, to novel weight-loss products.
The latest fad in persuading consumers to buy food products is offering satiety, a new concept for dieters and healthy eaters. It could replace the passion for GI, glycaemic index, foods, which seem to have slipped from the headlines.
The emerging satiety trend provides a licence for makers of low-GI products to re-market their offerings. It also throws a lifeline to low-carb packaged foods makers whose sales are waning. Low-carb products are generally high in protein, at the expense of quickly digested, high glycaemic, carbohydrates and are thereby more satiating than high-sugar snacks.
