Development of personalised foods for different population groups

Problem addressed

The food sector faces growing demand for products that respond to specific health and wellbeing needs. The senior population requires foods that are easy to digest and nutritionally adapted. Children need safe, balanced and appealing products. People with specific needs (intolerances, special diets) seek personalised alternatives that ensure their wellbeing.

What we do and how we do it

At AZTI, we develop personalised nutrition solutions based on:

• Reformulation of foods to meet specific nutritional profiles.

• Design of matrices adapted for digestibility, texture and sensory acceptance.

• Integration of key nutrients (proteins, fibre, vitamins and minerals) according to the target group.

• Pilot plant trials and validation of industrial feasibility.

• Technology transfer to accelerate time-to-market.

Key benefits

• Differentiated products aligned with personalised nutrition trends.

• Direct response to health, wellbeing and convenience demands.

• Guaranteed safety and quality tailored to each population segment.

• Positioning opportunities in high value-added markets.

• Reduced risk of consumer rejection through sensory and technological validation.
