In this issue:

  • Unlocking additional value from soybeans via the circular economy
    Okara (soybean pulp) and soy whey are by-products of the manufacture of foodstuffs made from soybeans; typically, soymilk and tofu (soybean curd). Globally, over four million metric tons of okara are generated on an annual basis as a result of soymilk and tofu production. Associate Professor Shao-Quan Liu and colleagues from the National University of Singapore share insight into their research, which has created useful applications for these otherwise wasted products.
  • Inspiring the food of tomorrow
    Nutrigenomics is the scientific study of the genetic differences in human responses to the bioactive compounds or nutrients in food. Dietitian Sarah-Jane Reilly outlines how research in this area is driving developments within the food industry and carving a path to consumers.
  • Looking beyond traditional applications for probiotics
    With more consumers turning to functional foods and beverages for digestive health benefits, product manufacturers have a massive opportunity to create probiotic products that go beyond traditional applications. John Quilter explores the potential.

    I note that you have used the phrase milk in terms such as soymilk. The EU has outlawed the use of these terms for non-dairy products https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2017-06/cp170063en.pdf so I cannot understand why you are still using them.
