10.40 - 11.05: Plant based cheese gels - use of fermenta- tion for development of new climate friendly foods (in English)

Professor Poul Erik Jensen, Department of Food Science, University of Copenhagen

This insight will be in English

Fermentation of emulsions based on seed storage proteins can form the basis for production of plant-based cheeses and other food types. Major challenges is creation and enhancement of texture and flavor. This involves the search for customized bacterial blends tailored for plant based fermentation, and the synergistic application of enzymes like transglutaminase to improve textural properties. This work not only contribute to increased understanding of fermentation of plant proteins but open up for future work in plant based foods, ultimately facilitating the production of nutritionally and well-tasting plant based cheeses as well as new products.

Lisbeth Jess Plesner, Senior Consultant, HedeDanmark 

This insight will be in Danish

Blue mussels should play a significant role as one of the future foods in the green transformation of food production. Blue mussels are a healthy protein source with a very low climate and environmental footprint. Furthermore, blue mussels can remove nutrients, thus improving water quality in the ocean. When locating them, it is important to consider environmental impact, visual concerns, and other users, etc. The presentation will cover advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, myths, as well as regulatory constraints.

12.40 - 13.05: Which danes reduce meat and why? (in Danish) ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Professor Bente Halkier, Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen

This insight will be in Danish

What makes it easy and what makes it difficult to reduce the place of meat in our diets? And how can other actors in society support households in changing their eating habits towards more climate-friendly plant-based meals?

Although a majority of Danish consumers eat meat without restrictions, there is a growing group of Danes who want to signal that they are cutting down on their meat consumption. Contrary to what you might think, it's not necessarily young consumers, but rather a diverse group. What's interesting is what makes these consumers able to practise cutting down on meat consumption.
