Food – topics related to nutrition, products, and food concepts

Food is more than just sustenance. It is an expression of lifestyle, innovation, and social change. At Messe.TV, numerous articles show how food culture, product development, and nutritional understanding are changing – with a focus on sustainability, new ingredients, and changing consumer habits.

Plant-based nutrition and alternative protein sources

The search for plant-based alternatives is increasingly shaping food development. Proteins from legumes, grains, mushrooms, or oilseeds are replacing traditional animal components – whether in meat alternatives, egg substitutes, or dairy products.

  • Processing plant-based raw materials into functional foods
  • New textures and recipes for substitute products
  • Innovative use of previously untapped raw material sources
These developments enable a diverse, vegan diet with high nutrient density and broad applicability – from snacks to system catering.

Sustainability, zero waste, and packaging-free concepts

With increasing awareness of environmental issues, topics such as packaging-free shopping, short supply chains, and upcycling are coming to the fore. Ingredients from side streams or previously underutilized food components are also being reevaluated.

  • Reduction of packaging waste through new shopping concepts
  • Utilization of residues from food processing
  • Regional organic production with fair supply relationships
These approaches show how sustainable nutrition can also be designed in an ecologically sensible way – without sacrifice, but with creative solutions.

Snacks, confectionery, and beverages reimagined

Luxury foods such as sweets and soft drinks are also being reinterpreted: less sugar, more plant-based ingredients, short ingredient lists, and creative recipes. At the same time, new products are emerging that follow taste trends and cater to modern lifestyles.

  • Vegan chocolates, bars, and cookies with natural ingredients
  • Milk alternatives made from oats, lupins, or nuts
  • Trendy drinks with functional added benefits
The focus is on health, transparency, and diversity – while maintaining the same standards of enjoyment and quality.
