Food Expo Reveals Product Development Trends
Because IFT's annual Food Expo is the premier business-to-business food-ingredient trade show, it's an excellent barometer of future consumer food trends. The marketing themes, prototype product samples, new exhibitors, and subtle changes in the positioning of established products all reveal trends in product development priorities.

Nutraceutical Ingredients Rediscover Their Functionality
A new Products&Technologies Section, Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods, was recently added to Food Technology that looks at research addressing a number of health concerns and potential solutions that are being developed. Consequently, I thought it would be appropriate to expand our post-show coverage of the 2002 IFT Food Expo to include some of the more important developments related to nutraceuticals and health-promoting ingredients.
