Sustain-a-bite will change the rules of the game!
Plant-based diet revolution: new EU project brings healthier, minimally processed plant-based foods to Europe. Sustain-a-bite is coordinated by VTT while EIT Food North-East is a consortium partner.
Project consortium
The project gathers partners 19 from across Europe with multidisciplinary expertise, including universities and technological centres, large food companies, along with experts in consumer behaviour, D&C and exploitation. Project partners include valued EIT Food Partners VTT (Finland), MASPEX, and Roquette.
Nutritious, tasty and affordable foods
Sustain-a-bite food design approach focuses on developing foods rich in protein, dietary fibre, vitamins, and essential nutrients, with low levels of antinutritional factors, saturated fats, and added sugars, thereby promoting associated health benefits.
By harnessing the power of nature through developed co-(bio)processing concepts, the Sustain-a-bite consortium is on a mission to produce clean-label, nutritious, versatile ingredients that reduce the reliance on additives. These ingredients offer benefits for the healthiness, affordability, and sustainability of plant-based foods.
Moreover, Sustain-a-bite minimal processes are easily accessible and adaptable for use by local, small enterprises, as well as larger companies, facilitating widespread adoption and implementation.
