Al desarrollar materiales de embalaje sostenibles, elegir el material y el proceso de embalaje adecuados es un paso importante. Al elegir un material, básicamente también está eligiendo un proceso de embalaje. Esta combinación determina qué tipos de 
envases puede producir.
Por lo tanto, la elección de una solución de embalaje sostenible no se limita solo a la sostenibilidad de los materiales de embalaje. Además del material en sí, el proceso de embalaje y el proceso logístico también afectan a la sostenibilidad. Por lo tanto, se debe contar con información sobre la selección de materiales y materias primas, así como puntos de atención para el proceso de embalaje, los sistemas de embalaje y la logística. https://packforward.eu/themes

Future of Protein
Prof. Michelle Colgrave, Professor, Future Protein Mission Leader, CSIRO, Australia
Estimates predict that 70 per cent more food will be required to feed the growing global population which will reach 9.7 billion by 2050. The challenge will be how to meet this global food gap while maintaining our planet's health. Australia's traditional animal and plant protein offer an opportunity to address this gap, with emerging sources of protein seen as complementary. We are witnessing changing dietary patterns, with increasing numbers of flexitarians, due to concerns over the environment, animal welfare and personal health and nutrition. In response to the growing demand for protein, technologists have been searching for cost-effective, resource-efficient and environmentally friendly protein technologies and solutions that can support traditional industries or create new industries. In this presentation, the opportunities and challenges in growing Australia's protein industries will be discussed.
Issues for Protein and Health - Identifying the Gaps
Prof. Christiani Jeyakumar Henry, Deputy Executive Director, SIFBI /CNRC, Singapore
Proteins are essential components for human life. Historically, our needs for protein have been met by the consumption of animal meat, fish, poultry, whole legumes, and cereals. With the global increase in the production of alternative protein-based foods, our access to protein foods has been revolutionized. Whilst embracing the new technologies used in the production of alternative protein foods, it is important for us to understand the nutritional, and physiological impact that the transition from eating conventional protein sources to the consumption of alternative proteins may have. This presentation will showcase and highlight the opportunities and challenges we face in the development of next-generation alternative proteins that not only have excellent taste, texture, and sensory properties but critically, have nutritional and health advantages. With increasing global population, we also need to consider how the "alternative protein" revolution could also include the nutritional needs of the less fortunate that approximate 3 billion people. This understanding will enable the next generation of alternative proteins to be widely accepted in our quest for planetary and human health.
Bioprocessing for Innovative Alternative Proteins - Cultivated meat, fermentation-derived products & plant-based meat alternatives
Dr. Deepak Choudhury, Group Leader & Senior Scientist, Biomanufacturing Technology, Bioprocessing Technology Institute (BTI), A*STAR, Singapore
It won't be an overstatement to say that innovations in Alternative Proteins have taken the world by storm. There are increasing demands from informed consumers for nutritious, delicious, affordable, and easily accessible sources of alternative proteins as traditional products. As per the Good Food Institute (GFI) estimates, the alternative proteins companies have raised a total of $11.1 billion since 2010, half of which has been raised in 2021 itself! The heart of the alternative proteins' revolution lies in the bioprocessing of relevant cells, especially for cultivated meat and fermentation-derived products. The speaker will quickly dive into innovative alternative protein-based product development, vital technological challenges, and unique proposed solutions to make the scale-up of alternative proteins a reality. The session is proposed to touch upon aspects of cells, media, scaffolds, and bioreactor hardware development, as well as how fermentation is exploited as a critical technical tool to produce various ingredients.
November 2, 2022; 1030-1200 hr at BR5 -- Food-omics - Rethinking Analytical Tools for Food Components and Their Health Impact

Proteomics - a versatile tool for revealing protein food value, allergenicity and food pathogens
Prof. Michelle Colgrave, Professor, Future Protein Mission Leader, CSIRO, Australia
A major challenge facing the world is providing protein security in the face of a growing global population. To this end, we have started exploring different crops and food sources from pulses to insects to algae and more. As we pivot towards these under-utilized resources, the potential exists for the increasing prevalence of allergy or cross-reactivity. Soy is a mainstay of the plant protein ingredient market, but new plant protein sources are emerging. For instance, lupin seeds possess high protein content (35-44%) and many health-promoting benefits (lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, managing glucose levels). But lupin also contains proteins that can trigger life-threatening anaphylaxis. Another complementary, sustainable source of protein to feed the world's growing population is insects. Insects have been consumed by people for millennia, but belong to the arthropod family, like crustaceans. Crustacean (shellfish) allergies are both relatively common and potentially severe; hence, the cross-reactivity of the immune system with insect proteins (e.g., tropomyosin and arginine kinase) is a potential health concern. The development of insects for food requires technology to explore their allergenic potential. In this presentation, the role of proteomics as a powerful tool to characterize both nutritional and antinutritional proteins in emerging protein sources will be discussed.
The intergenerational landscape of the human circulatory lipidome during pregnancy and early life
Prof. Markus Wenk, Professor, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore
Pregnancy and early child development are characterised by profound changes in physiology and metabolism. Here I will highlight results from our recent biochemical characterization of large Singapore birth cohorts. Mass spectrometry-based lipidomics was used to measure hundreds of circulating lipid metabolites in mothers and their offspring until early childhood. We have also characterized inter- and intra-individual (morning versus evening) variability of breastmilk. Collectively, these studies are providing valuable information maps to advance our knowledge in the fields of nutritional science, endocrinology, and pediatrics.
Measuring the health effects of food by metabolomics and other omics sciences: An example using volatilomics of several Zingiberaceae spices from Indonesia
Dr. Nancy Dewi Yuliana, Associate Professor, Department of Food Science and Technology, IPB University, Indonesia
Metabolomics is one of the emerging biomarker discovery tools that has received a lot of interest. It enables systematic investigation of a complex mixture, such as a botanical preparation or food product, which may be linked to the results of biological testing systems to identify active principles without the need for recurrent chromatographic procedures. Metabolomics of the plant or food can be integrated with the metabolomics of the treated patients or experimental animals in order to correlate the compounds with their quantifiable health effects. Thus, how the chemicals normalize the human or experimental animal metabolome at distinct disease phases to achieve homeostasis can be investigated. In addition, metabolomics can be utilized to determine whether a substance is harmful to human health. In our lab, we conducted metabolomics-based research using several analytical platforms, primarily to describe bioactive chemicals in various plant-based foods. We recently focus on the volatile components of numerous Indonesian underutilized Zingiberaceae spices and their in vitro antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and immunomodulatory effects. Several compounds have been successfully identified. More research employing metabolomics method to link the identified chemicals with the altered metabolic pathways is being planned to provide insight on the processes behind their antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and immunomodulatory activities.

Novel bioactive packaging: Shelf-life extension, sustainability, and safety assessment
Prof. Cristina Nerin, Professor, Director of the Research Group GUIA, University of Zaragoza, Spain
The huge amount of plastic waste around the world has caused serious environmental problems, as the plastics used so far are not biodegradable. Efforts have been made in the last years to develop and produce biodegradable polymers able to be in contact with food. However, most of these new polymers do not have the required barrier properties for most of the food in the market. Thus, the limited barrier to gases prevents the packaged food to reach the market under the same conditions as the conventional plastics do. One good approach is to get bioactive materials, what means that these new materials will contain some additional agents which will extend the shelf-life of packaged food. These new materials are called "active packaging" and can act to prevent oxidation and/or microbial growth in packaged food. As active agents, both essential oils, food additives and nanoparticles can be used, providing their efficiency and safety. But not only the shelf-life extension and sustainability are important, as the food packaging requires as well to guaranty the safety in use of all packaging materials. The presentation will show the main points of the topics and illustrate them with selected examples, dealing with biomaterials, active packaging and their safety in use.

Thailand's sustainable packaging roadmap and the regulatory development
Mrs. Sumalee Tangpitayakul, Advisor, Thai Packaging Association, Thailand
In Thailand, the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Ministry of Public Health (MOH) is the national authority for the safety of food packaging, while the Thai Industrial Standard Institute (TISI,) Ministry of Industry is responsible to develop various standards including food contact materials standard. Food contact materials standard covers both technical quality and safety of the product. Moreover, the Department of pollution control has set up the management of plastic waste road map for 2018-2030. The roadmap targets 1) to reduce and stop using single-use plastic, as well as 2) recycling plastic waste to create circular economy. This presentation will share the revision of Notification No. 295 of Food Act (1979) which prohibit the use of recycled plastic for food packaging to the new Notification No.435 effective since June 2022 which allows the use of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the changes of two voluntary compostable plastics standards to mandatory standards.

WEBINAR REPORT
Webinar 1: Diet-genome Interactions: Bringing us a Step Closer Towards Personalised Nutrition
Webinar 2: Toolsets for Mining the gut Microbiome to Enable Precision Nutrition
Monday, October 17th 15:30-17:00 CEST
Tuesday, October 18th 15:30-17:00 CEST
About the Webinar
Diet is a major risk factor for cardio-metabolic health, but is challenging to study in part because metabolic response to diet is highly individualized. Characterizing the molecular pathways that mediate personalized responses to diet is critical to effectively tackle the rapid rise in obesity and its associated health consequences. Recently, we established an international multidisciplinary collaborative group of experts, the DIMENSION consortium, to test the hypothesis that dietary induced changes to gene function and its regulation can explain inter-individual variability in metabolic response to diet and its downstream effects on health.
The DIMENSION project tests this hypothesis by investigating dynamically the impacts of dietary intake on epigenetic regulation of gene function, and their effects on subsequent human cardio-metabolic health outcomes. DIMENSION focuses on the human gene regulatory and functional pathways that occur immediately following food intake in the postprandial state, as well as with habitual dietary intakes. In this webinar, experts with academic expertise discussed recent research into how our diet impacts our genome and its regulation to promote cardio-metabolic health, and to inform the rapidly evolving area of personalized nutrition-based strategies.

About the Webinar
Have you ever considered having your microbiome analysed? If so, did questions about the applicability or reliability of the results to health or nutrition cross your mind? Do you believe, this is a promising area of research? Would you like to learn about its current status? This webinar will offer insights from experts who are working at the cutting-edge of microbiome-informed precision nutrition and healthcare.
Disruptions in the ecological balance of the gut microbiota have been associated with many health problems, ranging from IBS, obesity, diabetes to autism spectrum disorder and Alzheimer's disease. But how do we understand, or even measure, these associations, if every single gut microbiome on this planet has a totally unique composition? How can we understand and manage variable responses to dietary, prebiotic, and probiotic interventions?
This webinar provided an overview of some of the major computational and experimental tools that can be applied to these critical questions of microbiota-mediated personalized nutrition and healthcare. What can these tools tell us today, how will they (need to) evolve? What can we expect from sophisticated organ-on-a-chip models that integrate both host and microbial compartments? Can more sophisticated modelling tools help us to integrate the vast complexity of our inner ecology? Can we build low-cost diagnostic tools and predictive models that democratize access to personalized interventions?
Once we embrace the complexity of personalised interventions: what kinds of intervention modes do we target: e.g., diet, prebiotics, probiotics, or postbiotics? Which existing consumer-facing precision nutrition platforms are promising? What are the necessary steps forward, and who are the partners and stakeholders, in building a precision nutrition and healthcare future, capable of leveraging the gut microbiota?

Al desarrollar materiales de embalaje sostenibles, elegir el material y el proceso de embalaje adecuados es un paso importante. Al elegir un material, básicamente también está eligiendo un proceso de embalaje. Esta combinación determina qué tipos de envases puede producir.
Por lo tanto, la elección de una solución de embalaje sostenible no se limita solo a la sostenibilidad de los materiales de embalaje. Además del material en sí, el proceso de embalaje y el proceso logístico también afectan a la sostenibilidad. Por lo tanto, se debe contar con información sobre la selección de materiales y materias primas, así como puntos de atención para el proceso de embalaje, los sistemas de embalaje y la logística. https://packforward.eu/themes
