Welcome to the third edition of
foodeurope online 2016.
This bumper edition contains no fewer than
three show previews: SupplySide West,
PackExpo Chicago and Gulfood
Manufacturing.
For this reason we have decided, as a oneoff,
to amalgamate processing & packaging,
and analysis & control.

In our ingredients section we start with
Symrise. Symrise has now acquired Diana, and the article explains the
two companies’ synergistic approach. DuPont Nutrition and Health
provides an excellent article on healthy and sustainable spreads, and
SVZ concentrates on healthy reformulation of fruit and vegetable
ingredients. MANE looks at spices, and how the company’s SENSE
CAPTURE solution optimises spice impact in meat applications.
Synergy describes how it has brought its Synergy Pure range to the
European market.
We then have our first preview: SupplySide West. See what
foodeurope’s clients will be exhibiting at the show, including
Frutarom, Welch, Lycored, Algatechnologies, Glatt, Sternmaid and
many more. No one beats SupplySide West when it comes to
showcasing ingredients. This year’s expo hall is the largest yet
featuring over 1,200 exhibiting companies including many first-time
exhibitors.
In the first of our packaging and processing section GEA discusses the
GEA Aquarius CoatingLine, the world’s only fully automated solution
(patent pending) that coats lollipops; and Stermaid provides a valuable
article on the fine art of contract manufacturing.
Our second show preview is Pack Expo and Pharma Expo 2016. The
four-day event will feature over 2,300 exhibiting companies and span
more than 1.2 million net square feet of exhibition space at McCormick
Place. PMMI expects to welcome 50,000 attendees.
We then have an excellent technical article from Addivant, looking at
developing new plastic additives in the era of the parts-per-trillion
detection limit, and trends in the market. This is followed by Bekum,
describing its new blow-moulding machine: EBLOW 37.
Our third preview is of Gulfood Manufacturing, a trade show and
conference designed for food and beverage process industries
operating within the Middle East, Africa and Indian sub-continent. It is
known as the biggest food and beverage processing event in the
region.
We hope you enjoy reading this edition of foodeurope online. Our
next edition, in November, will feature Hi Ni Europe Frankfurt,
Emballage Paris, and ISM and ProSweets Cologne.
