The innovative concepts are designed to show food and drink manufacturers how they can develop and formulate affordable products with the ingredients and claims that consumers prefer.

Taking place from the 7-9 November at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Gulfood Manufacturing is the Middle East's biggest annual food & beverage processing forum. Ingredion’s Senior Culinologist will be on stand at the event to freshly prepare dishes that tackle industry challenges including affordability, reducing sugar, and enriching products with plant protein. 

Formulated with a variety of Ingredion’s textured pulse proteins, food systems solutions, flavour modifiers, erythritol sweeteners, and more, Ingredion’s menu at the event will feature a crispy-coated plant-based nugget, an affordable nacho cheese dip, and a no-added-sugar still lemonade. Technical experts will also be on hand to discuss visitors’ formulation and production challenges. 

Tapping into the Middle East and Africa’s high-growth F&B market
