The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) is holding its Annual Meeting + Food Expo in Anaheim, Calif. from June 6 to 9. The 2010 IFT Food Expo takes place from July 17 to 21 in Chicago, Ill. Following is a sample of products and services that exhibitors will be highlighting at this year’s show.
• Bell Flavors & Fragrances has a theme for this year’s show: Extenders & Replacers. Extenders and replacers are flavours that offer price savings for ingredients that have become more difficult to source. Their extenders and replacers work well in replacing ingredients such as honey, lemon juice, olive oil, and extend other ingredients so manufacturers don’t have to use as much tomato paste, cocoa and vanilla, for example.
