MONTHLY NEWSPAPER FOR F&B INDUSTRY

THE RISE OF THE BAKERY INDUSTRY IN INDIA AT ALL LEVELS
s one of the largest segments in the food processing sector in India, the bakery industry offers huge opportunities for growth, innovation, and job generation. Separated into three categories, bread, biscuits, and cakes and pastries, the bakery industry reached a market value of USD 7.22 billion in 2018. As the second largest producer of biscuits after the USA, India is a key player internationally, and with the entrepreneurial spirit of Indian companies and individuals it is one of the most exciting regions for the bakery sector.
seeking gluten-free products, or goods made with alternative ingredients such as multigrain and wholewheat. Alongside healthier options, millennials in particular are always seeking new flavours and experiences, making flavour innovation key. With the recent influx of international cafe and bakery chains, on-thego food has become increasingly popular. With hectic lifestyles, Indian consumers are prioritising convenience, and as breads and biscuits are fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), bakeries are a go-to option.
Although there are obstacles which are causing losses, there has been a boom in entrepreneurial endeavors in the bakery industry in India. Home baking has always been a popular pursuit, but with new technological innovations individuals have been able monetise their efforts. Founded by two women, homebakers.co.in provides a network for home bakers, the majority of whom are female, to promote and sell their products. On a smaller scale, local What’s App groups have become popular to supply neighbours and locals with baked goods, which highlights the power of networking technology.
Changing consumer habits and lifestyle are shaping the bakery industry in India. Part of a global trend, there is greater demand for healthier products and alternatives, particularly when it comes to bakery goods which are now more commonly consumed daily as opposed to being a treat. With high consumption rates, customers want baked goods that are ‘guilt-free’ and are increasingly
While there is demand and appetite for bakery products, the Indian bakery industry faces certain challenges. The industry is generally divided into organised and unorganised, with more than 2,000 organised or semiorganised bakeries, and 1,000,000 unorganised bakeries. Operational efficiency is a major issue in the industry, as is the lack of technology and skilled workers.
Organised bakeries in India are also utilising social media to provide targeted and cost-effective marketing. Lacking the large budgets of international chains, local bakery cafes are eschewing traditional marketing to rely on word-ofmouth recommendations and social media engagement. Tapping into the artisanal market, smaller bakeries can concentrate on quality over quantity,
while larger Indian chains such as Barista and Mad Over Donuts rely on creating larger quantities but with strong branding and associated trust. At every level in the bakery industry in India there are challenges and opportunities. While the rise of local home bakers is encouraging, there are issues of hygiene practices and standards, and organised bakeries are also incurring losses due to lack of operational efficiency and skilled workers. Despite certain difficulties, the forecast for the Indian bakery industry is positive with a projected market value likely to exceed USD 12 billion by 2024 expanding at a CARG of 9.3% during 2019 to 2024. Alongside these predictions, India occupies a unique position in the market as flavour innovation continues to grow in importance on a global scale. Indian traditions and access to interesting and unusual flavour combinations will allow them to continue to excel and innovate in this market.n
LIQUID SUGAR USED IN BAKERY SECTOR - CREATING CAKES AND BREAD PRODUCTS

ost refer to liquid sugar as a simple syrup that is often used to keep cakes moist. Sugar however is a core ingredient in almost all bakery items - not only does it add sweetness but also tenderises the end result. Sugar is hygroscopic, which means that it likes to hold water which in turn keeps cakes moist as well and gives them a slightly longer shelf life. 21st century baking however also explores liquid sugar as a viable substitute. Today's baker is looking for ways to move beyond standard granulated sugar. It may not be so easy - if you think it's a 1:1 ratio switch; think again!
though sweeter sweetness compared to granulated sugar. Being a combination of glucose and fructose it has the tendency to brown quickly. Since it is sweeter than sugar you can substitute 3/4th cup for every 1 cup of sugar.
Honey, treacle, molasses (used largely in Christmas cakes) and maple syrup are currently commonly used in cake baking. They are also used in sweet breads and specialty cakes.Each of these have a unique role in baking.
Maple syrup is the new kid on the block. Although it's been around for years, due to its availability it hasn't been used readily. Since maple syrup is mostly sucrose based it doesn't brown or caramelise too quickly. As a flavour note it lends amazing caramel notes to your bakes and is best suited for use in cookies, candies, cakes
Honey - it's the most commonly used sweetener and lends a floral
and glazes. Maple syrup is almost as sweet as sugar, hence can be used in a 1:1 ratio to substitute. Molasses is interchangeable with treacle. It has the most unique flavour of the 3, it's simple to make, has a strong robust taste and it is used widely in all kinds of traditional cakes, pies and puddings. It is a staple ingredient in most plum cakes which also lends to their taste and colour. Treacle gets a little tricky since the addition of it is not only a substitute for sugar but the flour also needs to be increased. For every 1/4 cup of molasses/treacle 1 table spoon of
Other commercially available forms of liquid Sweetener include - glucose - this is hands down the most popular for making cake glazes - which was the traditional way of using this ingredient. Of late its been used in a whole host of products which are used for cake decorating such as cake glazes, sugar candy, pulled sugar decorations, edible cake drips etc., to name a few. Its being widely used in cake icings like royal icing, eggless butter cream. The application of glucose is by far the widest and is applicable to almost all types of bakes goods or garnishes such as - pie fillings, marshmallows, fondant, honey comb, Turkish delight, ganache, fudge ice cream and granola bars to name a few. It is form of simple syrup and readily available in the bakery section of most supermarkets. In cakes glucose not only adds to the sweetness of cakes but also to the texture and moisture content.

aw fruit and vegetable juices are high in nutritive value but at the same time very sensitive with high possibility of bacterial contamination, making it risky for consumption. They have very less shelf life, which restricts the consumer from being able to store and enjoy the drink for a prolonged period of time. Pasteurization is one of the most popularly applied method for processing of fruit juices, fruit based juices. Fresh juices are active ground for live pathogens, which multiply fast when not contained with proper processing. Pasteurised juices become safe for consumption with reduced risk of infection. It also makes the juice last longer in good condition as the growth of microogranisms is eliminated. The pasteurization process destroys pathogenic microorganisms by heating the product to a specific high temperature for a brief period and cool down to desired temperature as required for the end packaging. The most common fruits and vegetables processed through pasteurization or aseptic processing are: mango, orange, guava, pomegranate, apples, pineapples, tomatoes and others. HRS has the expertise in thermal process technology and is well known for providing systems for pasteurization, aseptic processing and turnkey processing lines for fruit pulp, juices and beverages. HRS has a range of pasteurization systems designed for various types of juices. These systems enable continuous processing of juices.

FREE IMPORT OF REFINED EDIBLE OIL WILL HELP CONTAIN PRICES QUICKLY
T
he high-level meeting involving three Secretary level officials ofAgriculture, Food and Consumer Affairs with edible oil processors, millers, importers and traders as well as several State governments held on Monday (May 24) to review the high prices of edible oil saw a chorus of demands from trade and industry representatives including fiscal relief in terms of exemption from GST on edible oil and strong hint that the Essential Commodities Act should not be invoked. The commodity derivatives market came under attack from several speakers who alleged rampant speculation in the bourses and blamed futures trading for the strident price
rise. Sadly, no one provided even an iota of evidence in terms of data to support the claim of rampant speculation. Be that as it may, the only sensible and practical suggestion made by a speaker from Jaipur was that all restrictions on import of refined oils should be lifted. Indeed, this is the suggestion the government must seize in order to contain cooking oil prices. Primarily, the government is concerned about food inflation. So, every endeavour must be made to augment supplies and rein in prices for the coming months. Free import of refined oils at least for a limited period is critical. There will be little time lag between import and distribution of refined oils for
human consumption, unlike crude oils that need to go through the process of refining before distribution which itself provides a window for speculation. It would also make economic, social and political sense for New Delhi to quickly resume distribution of cooking oil through the government’s welfare programmes such as PDS.
Expressing concern over alarming dependence on import, the Food Secretary emphasised that the country needs to move towards substantial self-reliance or Atmanirbhar in vegoils.
Earlier, Agriculture Secretary cautioned traders against hoarding in anticipation of higher prices and asserted that the government has tremendous reach to know where the stocks are. Although global prices were falling, there was no evidence of a corresponding decrease in domestic prices, he remarked.
While the government has noted most of the suggestions, it appears likely that duty on edible oil imports may be slashed at least for the next few months. Also, processors, importers and trades will be mandated to declare stocks. Currently, close to 20 lakh tonnes of imported oils are in ports and in pipelinen

way of instalment. We also request for waiver in Property tax, and Energy and Water charges should be billed on the basis of actual consumption. This will only help us cut our losses.” With regards to financial matters, the HRAWI has cited Kerala where its Government has asked banks in the State to stop all revenue recovery and property attachment proceedings for the next couple of months. The Government of Kerala has also directed the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) and Kerala Water Authority (KWA) to stop collecting penalties and dues of consumers for next few months.
T
he Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) has submitted a representation to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for granting concessions to the hospitality industry in the wake of the second pandemic wave and the resulting lockdown. The association has requested that hotels, restaurants and bars be allowed to re-open with permission to operate the restaurants and bars till at least 11pm with dine-in services. It has also pleaded for waiver of various statutory charges including property tax and minimum water charges, electricity bills along with full relief in excise fees. HRAWI has also asked for SGST be temporarily waived off and that re-payment of loans, bank EMIs, and interest deferred for a period of 12 months.
Sherry Bhatia, President, HRAWI, said, “Government’s stringent lockdown order has severely impacted and affected the hospitality Industry. Businesses of a majority of hotels, restaurants and bars have come to a complete standstill making even survival a challenge. Of the approximately 2 lakh restaurants in the State, almost 50 per cent have permanently shut. Post the seven month-long lockdown last year, loss of employment in the sector has risen up to 50 per cent. Hospitality industry is at a tipping point and needs immediate Government intervention. We request to allow us to operate till at least 11pm with dine-in services. Hotels and restaurants will continue to operate while strictly adhering to the SOPs. To give a boost to business in pandemic times, the Government should waive off state GST until the situation normalises.”
The association has requested that the existing moratorium to be extended through a notification for an additional 6 months. The HRAWI has previously appealed to Government to compensate employees engaged in the industry and their families for the loss of income, and also support hoteliers and restaurateurs by waiving off all statutory fees, taxes and utility bills. Pradeep Shetty, senior vice president, HRAWI, said, “At present the only revenue for a restaurant is coming through home delivery services which is barely 8 to 10 per cent of our actual business. This arrangement is not sustainable since restaurants have infrastructure and fixed costs. Under the circumstances the industry will require a waiver on payment of FL3 license fees and we request for facility in payment of excise fees by
“The additional debt burden on business due to continued lockdown restrictions has brought upon coercive action, threats of NPAs and likelihood of business establishments shutting down thereby causing immense revenue and job losses. Government should also direct banks and statutory authorities to stop revenue recoveries till such time that the industry is allowed to function as usual. Government should announce soft loans to all hospitality establishments to restart the operations post lockdown,” added Shetty. “We recommend that open spaces and terraces be used for restaurants to serve food to compensate for the loss of licensed space utilisation. We also request that 100 guests be allowed to participate in a weddings or meetings to reduce loss of revenue. Many hotels have large banquet halls where larger gatherings could be held with all social distancing norms. We assure that the industry will abide by all restrictions and follow SOPs prescribed,” concluded Bhatia.n

INDIA’S RETAIL BAKERY INDUSTRY REACHING NEW HEIGHTS Kharis, Kadak Pav, and Bun Maska to name a few. It is safe to say that there is quite a balance between traditional bakery products and the new age bakery products.
he retail bakery industry in India today is reaching new heights. Had anyone ever wondered it could go so far when it all began in 1880 in a district in Kerala! The first-ever bakery in India was set up by Mampally Bapu in Thalassery, Kerala. He studied the taste of cakes closely from the bakers of England and created biscuits and sweet products to attract foreign customers. Bread had come to India during the time of the Portuguese since they experimented in preparing various types. A little while later, we could see Irani cafes offering a selection of Bread, Naans, Kadak Pav, and Kharis. Today, over a century later, the bakery industry in India is booming with all sorts and varieties of goodies. One can only imagine the array of options when buying bakery products. Right from an assortment of freshly baked biscuits, naans, pavs, pastries, and cakes, one can get it all anywhere anytime. The Indian bakery market was valued at $7.60 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 8.5 per cent and reach a value of $12.39 billion by 2026. This is a fair share among the global bakery industry which was valued at $507.38 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 2.5 per cent and reach a value of $574.05 billion by 2026.
Consumer behavior towards bakery products in India Up to 72 per cent of the bakery industry in India accounts for Cookies and Biscuits than any other baked item making it the largest consumer of Biscuits across the globe. This is because biscuits were among the first-ever bakery products introduced in India and have since stayed with people. Besides, Cookies
Impact of Covid-19 on the retail bakery industry
and Biscuits are also popularly known for their high nutrient value and affordable price. In addition to this, traditional Kharis and Rusks also have a high consumption rate in the country. Nonetheless, one can find a range of bakery items like a variety of Biscuits, Bread, Rusks, Cakes, and Pastries in India today. Packaged cakes and cupcakes are also among the fastest-selling products since people are looking for more options for bakery items to grab on the go.
Evolution in Baking Methods With the advancement in the variety of bakery products, the methods of preparing the same have also evolved. In the earlier days, wood-burning stoves were the most common form of baking bread and other items. It was done with the help of immense manpower. With time, this advanced to microwave ovens, OTG's and more. Today, technology has progressed to the extent that only one person can single-handedly operate a machine that prepares your bakery goodies from scratch. It is safe to say that methods today are more robotic than traditional.
Evolving Consumer Behaviour Consumer behaviour can never be the
same for consecutive years. People from India have traveled to nations far and wide to study food and to explore, they have tried an array of cuisines and bakery products in several countries. This has resulted in the advent of new-age bakery items that were earlier only found internationally. Today, consumers are willing to explore modern products and items, basically, it has become part of the modernistic society today, to try and explore new things. The bakeries across India have excelled at offering what their clients love. From new age Pastries, Cheesecakes, Macaroons to the Mediterranean Baklavas and everything of that sort, one can find it in bakery stores across India. The evolving consumer also demands innovations in patisserie items. For instance, what earlier was a simple ‘Gajar Ka Halwa’ is today an innovated ‘Carrot Cake’ that people love. This is how innovation works. Giving something new to the consumers is always going to be a big hit. Take the Cheesecakes and Macaroons for an example! Nonetheless, what will not change in India is the consumer's demand for traditional bakery goodies like
The retail bakery industry in India had a growth curve of about 12 per cent in 2020; however, due to the pandemic scenario, growth became stationary. According to reports, about 1.3 million tons of baked products are sold every year, but this number dropped low due to lockdown and other Covid-19 restrictions. The prime reason behind the downfall in the bakery industry is the slow supply chain. Due to the lockdown, the movement of vehicles is restricted leading to an impact on the supply chain. Moreover, people are not allowed to travel or go to work; this has reduced manpower, leading to lesser availability of raw materials to prepare bakery items. Another huge reason is the decrease in purchasing power of the consumers. Covid-19 has affected everyone, people have lost employment, and in such conditions, purchasing power has declined immensely. The conditions of the industry were believed to become stable and people were ready to get back in action in 2021 since the pandemic had slowed down, but yet again, another wave of the virus has struck the world and industries are again at a loss.
Future of retail bakery industry As for the future of this huge industry, we can say that a lot more growth and evolution are yet to come. What one must remember is that a single standalone bakeshop will not do the job. With consumer demands increasing, it is imperative to opt for cloud kitchens, and offer an array of different cuisines. Consumers are asking for more and more varieties, innovations, and unique desserts and baked items. On the other hand, bakers have come up with out-ofthe-box bakes, international recipes, and a lot more, so the retail bakery industry is surely up for big progress in the coming years. Sustainability and variety should be the main agenda of any bakery shop, and it will surely see itself thriving in this enormous industry.n

PROTEINS ARE AVAILABLE IN THREE TYPES IN THE MARKET By Vibha Gaur- Technical Head (Flavour- R&D), Sacheerome, New Delhi
protein is obtained by ultrafiltration of whey protein concentrate. This type of whey contains 90% protein with less lactose, sugar and fat. It has got the highest percentage of protein.
Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate
Vibha Gaur, Flavourist & Technical Head
WHEY PROTEINS AS A DAIRY INGREDIENT IN BAKERYWhey is watery portion of milk that separates from the curds while making cheese. It is a rich source of protein that might improve the nutrient content of diet and also have effects on the immune system. It is a dietary supplement and fast digesting dairy protein. Whey proteins are available in three types in the market i.e., Whey protein concentrate (WPC), whey protein isolate (WPI) & hydrolyzed whey protein (HWP).
Whey protein concentrate In first step, liquid sweet whey remaining after the separation of casein, goes through a process called microfiltration. Resulting whey protein concentrate. The whey concentrate has a protein concentration up to 80% and still contains some lactose, sugar and fat. This is the most common type of whey used in bakery industry.
Whey protein isolate In second step a superior type of whey
Now in third step , whey protein isolate is turned into a whey protein hydrolysate. This happens by exposing the whey protein isolate to enzymes that break the bonds holding the amino acids together. It means that the amino acids are cut into smaller pieces, shorter chains of diand tri-peptides, making hydrolyzed whey protein isolate the fastest and easiest protein for digestion. It is a pre-digestion process, which makes hydrolyzed proteins more rapidly absorbed in the gut and at a much higher rate, then both whey protein isolates or concentrates. It’s also easier to digest by people with sensitive stomach. It has the bitter taste and is used for infant formula and medical products. The bitter masking flavors can be used at recommended dosage such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, butterscotch, peanut butter, cream & cookies, honey so on.
Reason of using whey protein by the food industriesWhen used in baking, whey ingredients can emulsify, thicken, brown, and foam products. Whey powder also increases solubility, gelation,texture,air incorporation, egg reduction, water binding and nutritional fortification. However, the effect depends on the type and level of whey protein concentrate (WPC), ranging from 11% to over 90% which
is whey protein isolate (WPI). WPC 11 to 14.5%, or sweet whey, is used for color enhancement and a calcium source. WPC 34 enhances color, browning and protein fortification. It is often found in crackers or biscotti. WPC 34 or 80 is best for egg replacement in baked goods and has a high level of protein. The highest level, WPI& WPH, adds high protein with few to zero fat and carbohydrates.
FDA Regulation Whey protein concentrate is deemed GRAS by the FDA. It must be labeled when used and must contain at least 25 percent protein, 1 to 10 percent lipids, 2 to 15 percent ash, 1 to 6 percent moisture and no more than 60 percent lactose.
Future InsightThe Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) led the market and accounted for more than 48.0% share of the global revenue in 2019. WPH is also used in the manufacturing of bakery products,
low-fat food products, proteinfortified beverages, and dietetic foods. Favorable support from the regulatory bodies including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for whey protein hydrolysate to be used in a variety of food applications is likely to drive the segment growth over the forecast period.The global whey protein market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9.8% from 2020 to 2027 to reach USD 18.4 billion by 2027.
Some global key players in the whey protein market include: Hilmar Cheese Company, Inc., Saputo Inc., Glanbia plc., Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd., Arla FoodsAlpavit., Wheyco GmbH., Milk Specialties., Carbery Group., LACTALIS Ingredients., Olam International, Davisco Foods International, Inc., Milkaut SA., Leprino Foods Company., Maple Island Inc.n

INDIA’S GI CERTIFIED PRODUCTS GIVE A MAJOR BOOST TO EXPORT; SHAHI LITCHI FROM BIHAR EXPORTED TO UK
I
ndia’s GI-certified products give a major boost to export, as the season’s first consignment of Shahi Litchi from Bihar was exported to the United Kingdom by the air route. The phytosanitary certification for exports of Shahi Litchi was issued from a newly established certification facility at Patna. The fruit is being exported by Cira Enterprises and sourced from farmers in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. India is the second-largest producer of litchi (Litchi chin) in the world, after
China. The translucent, flavoured aril or edible flesh of the litchi is popular as a table fruit in India, while in China and Japan it is preferred in dried or canned form. Bihar tops in terms of production of litchi. Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) collaborated with the Department of Agriculture, Bihar along with other stakeholders such as farmers, exporters and importers for facilitating exports of Shahi Litchi.
Shahi Litchi was the fourth agricultural product to get GI certification from Bihar in 2018, after Jardalu mango, Katarni rice, and Magahi paan. GI registration for Shahi Litchi is held with the Muzaffarpur-based Litchi Growers Association of Bihar. “Because of short-shelf life of litchi, there is a need to explore export opportunities for the processed and value-added products,” the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a statement.
Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, Samastipur, Champaran, Begusarai districts, and adjoining areas of Bihar have favorable climate for growing Shahi Litchi. Bihar government is making efforts in association with APEDA and other agencies for creating required infrastructures such as customs clearance facility, laboratory testing facility, pack-houses, pre-cooling facilities, which would harness and boost agricultural export potential of the State.n

PACKAGING OF BAKERY PRODUCTS IS SCIENCE, ART, AND TECHNOLOGY ROLLED IN ONE The Packaging Of Bakery Products Is Closely Interlinked With Production, Preservation, Storage, Transportation, And Marketing. Packaging Especially Of The Bakery Products Is Science, Art, And Technology Rolled In One. G.k. Goyal, Swati Shrivastava, And Tanweer Alam, Explain How Packaging Protects Products From The Adverse Effects Of The Environment. The bakery industry is the largest among the processed food industries in India. Its production is increasing steadily. It occupies an important place with an annual turnover of about Rs. 3000 crores. The packaging of bakery products is closely interlinked with production, preservation, storage, transportation, and marketing. Packaging especially of the bakery products is science, art, and technology rolled in one. It protects products from the adverse effects of the environment.
BAKERY INDUSTRY IN INDIA Bakery products are ready to eat, convenient to use, and possess satisfactory nutritional quality. India is the second-largest producer of biscuits. The two major bakery items, viz. bread and biscuit account for about 82% of the total bakery products. The annual production of bakery products, which includes bread, biscuits, pastries, cakes, buns, rusk etc., is estimated to be in excess of 3 million tonnes. The production of bread and biscuits in the country, both in the organised and unorganised sectors, is estimated to be around 0.44 million tonnes and 11 million tones, respectively. The cake and pastry market estimated at 0.4 million tonnes, is the fast-growing market with volume growth of 16%. India’s bakery market at Rs. 49.5 billion makes it the third-largest market in Asia Pacific, only after Japan and Australia (Anon, 2006). The bakery industry in India comprises of organised and unorganized sectors. The organised sector consists of large, medium and small-scale manufacturers who produce packaged biscuits and bread. The unorganized sector consists of small bakery units, cottage and household type, manufacturing their products without much packaging and selling them in the surrounding areas. The bread market is estimated to be growing at around 7% p.a. in volume terms, whereas the biscuit market has witnessed a higher growth at around 8-10%. Within the biscuit category, cream and specialty biscuits are growing at a faster rate, i.e. 20% p.a. Though the bakery industry in India has been in existence since long, but the growth picked up only in the latter part of the 20th century. The contributing factors were urbanization, resulting in increased demand for ready-to-eat food at reasonable costs etcn
It mainly performs three functions viz. to contain, to protect, and to sell the product. It is essential to know the nature and composition of the product, its desired shelf life under specified conditions of storage in terms of light, temperature, humidity, presence of oxygen, and the types and causes of deterioration including mechanical stress, the product may undergo during handling and storage. The packaging material should not impart its own odour to the product. It should be inert to food and non-toxic. The consumer expects that the package should not only protect the product but also give information about the contents, storage conditions, methods of use, date of manufacture and expiry, price and nutritional considerations.

TETRA PAK CALLS FOR MORE WOMEN TO JOIN FOOD & BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
T
etra Pak identifies an opportunity for more women to join the food and beverage manufacturing industry, to help drive transformational change. A huge variety of roles are required to boost innovation in the food and beverage industry, ranging from mechanical and automation engineers to microbiologists and regulatory specialists. According to the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap report, women make up only a third of roles in the manufacturing sector, dropping to just 21 per cent at a senior executive level.
Laurence Mott, executive VP, Development and Engineering, Tetra Pak, said, “Manufacturing industries have not always been the most attractive career choice for women, owing to the stereotypes and legacies of this heavily male-dominated sector. But now there is a brilliant opportunity for female innovators to help protect our global food supply chains for generations to come.” Marie Sandin, VP, Engineering and Plant Automation, Tetra Pak, said, “Our global food systems are facing many challenges – in terms of climate change, food safety and hygiene and
distribution. We can make a difference in all of these areas, but our impact will be far more effective if we involve more women in the movement. The Covid-19 pandemic has shone a light on critical environmental issues as well as the importance of food safety and availability and we need all hands on deck to address these evolving challenges.” Abigail Dagadu, Tetra Pak Food Science Lead in USA and Canada, said, “I see an opportunity for women to enter the food science discipline and make an impact. Drawing from my own experience, my role is to

look for innovative solutions to some of the world’s most important issues today: from food insecurity and famine to metabolic diseases, like obesity and diabetes, it’s a chance to drive real societal change, and I would encourage all young women with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) qualifications to consider a career in the F&B industry.” Laurence Mott said, “We have a number of women in leadership roles across Automation and Digital, Programme Management, Systems Engineering and Materials and Packaging, and our Future Talent graduate programme is helping usher in the next generation of female engineers and leaders but we can still do more.” The company supports International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), June 23, an international initiative celebrating the work and achievements of female engineers. The day provides an important opportunity to raise the profile of women in innovation and highlight the amazing career opportunities available. To celebrate the upcoming day, the company has published a brochure called Voices of Innovation, showcasing examples of female employees from all over the world, in different roles and from varying academic backgrounds, discussing how they’re helping futureproof our global food supply chainn
