How important is the role of beta-glucans? Do we appreciate them in our daily lives?

You’ll find the answers to these questions during Ewelina Otrębiak’s presentation at the MeetUp Food Supplement Ingredients Business&Science conference.

Beta-glucans, which belong to the group of polysaccharides, are present in the cells of various organisms, from grains to yeast, and have a positive impact on human health. They support the immune system, combat viruses and bacteria, and regulate immunological processes, as confirmed by clinical research.

Don’t hesitate, join the event to discover the valuable contributions this component has to offer in the dietary supplement industry!

On October 4th, we had the honor of participating in the Academic Year Inauguration at the invitation of the Authorities of the Faculty of Food Technology and the Institute of Food Sciences at Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW).

This important day for the University was filled with many speeches emphasizing that strength lies in unity, and through collaboration and working together for the advancement of science, much more can be achieved.

We emphasize the importance of close cooperation between academia and business, which brings tangible benefits to both sides, especially in the dietary supplement industry!

We would like to express our gratitude for the opportunity to participate in this event. We wish the faculty and students success in the ongoing academic year.

On November 7th, at the MeetUp Food Supplement Ingredients Business&Science conference, Aleksandra Janczkowska will present a lecture on ‘The significance of alternative protein sources in food – yeast protein.”

Are you curious about how yeast protein can become an alternative protein source in food?

The increasing demand for protein, dietary trends, and climate changes make plant-based protein sources an attractive alternative. Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast is well-known in the food industry and can be an excellent source of protein with a favorable amino acid profile.

We invite you to participate in the conference and discover the answers to these questions!
