The main outcomes will be: (1) Identification of European senior consumers food needs and expectations for a healthy living integrating consumer qualitative research. (2) Development of consumer valued-food: fish and meat (beef and/or lamb protein and vegetable &fruit smoothies) for healthier nutrition adapted to future consumer needs and requirements. At least 3 consumers co-created new products will be launched in 2021, one fish protein-based, one meat-based, and one vegetable/fruit-based. (3) Building consumer trust by using bioactive compounds naturally present in the matrix. This will enable a boost of their biodisponibility (i.e., better absorption and use) and will make the product engage with the consumer. |
