The use of seaweed and algal derived products in the food industry has grown rapidly in recent times. Food business operators (FBOs) need to be aware of edible algae as a potential source of food allergens in their food chains. Both from the point of view of their ability to cause allergic reactions themselves, but also with respect to their risks as vectors of seafood allergen cross-contact. As part of his PhD research into current and emergent allergens in food production systems, Christopher James (in our Global Safety & Quality Team) has conducted a review of the available literature on algal induced food allergy in humans. Read Chris’s blog for more details, and for what FBOs need to do to protect their businesses, products and consumers from risks associated with emerging allergens.

These online half day modules, inspired by our three day Biscuit Science & Technology course, are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the key ingredients; key processes that transform raw materials into a batter; extending shelf life, and reducing quality and wastage issues. Find out more here ➡️ https://okt.to/QpRUSz Module 1 – Ingredient technology Do you want to reduce costs, develop new and innovative products or resolve quality issues effectively? Understanding the ingredients used in your product and the impact they have on product quality is often the key to achieve these objectives, this module will cover: - Appreciate different flour types, their individual benefits and interpret their specifications - Understand the key role that ingredients like egg, sugar and fat play - Know what functionality minor ingredients like cocoa powder, raising agents, reducing agents, enzymes and emulsifiers play in modern biscuit and cracker production Module 2 – Key processes Understanding and optimising your process is essential to prevent quality faults, reduce waste and ultimately reduce costs, this module will cover: - Different dough types and processing methods - Primary and secondary processing methods and equipment types - The processes taking place inside the product during baking and cooling Module 3 - Shelf-life, troubleshooting and quality assessment Extending the product shelf-life can open opportunities for export of products and help to access new markets. Additionally, knowing which factors influence the best before date and how this can be extended can improve the attractiveness to consumers and reduce wastage. Product quality faults are another common source of wastage and/or customer complaint. Using a systematic approach to identify and effectively resolve faults can save time and offers an opportunity to build up in-house knowledge that can be utilised to respond to recurring issues. Whether your aim is to reduce costs, improve product quality, reduce wastage or increase consumer acceptance, this module will cover: - How to extend the shelf-life of your product - Troubleshoot effectively using a systematic approach - Objectively quantify biscuit, cookie or cracker quality characteristics

Though plant-based alternatives mimic meat products, their microbiology is different. Producers of plant-based products therefore need to be mindful of the potential risks associated with their microbiological safety.
