2nd Pulse Health & Food symposium

Exploring the link between pulses and good health

February 4th and 5th, 2009    

Toronto, Ontario
Park Hyatt Toronto

Pulses are uniquely positioned to provide nutritional and
health benefits as well as environmental value as part
of a sustainable food production system.

 

Why Attend?

Join us for the release of results from seven human clinical studies examining the link between eating pulses and positive health outcomes related to CVD, diabetes, obesity and gut health.

Find out how pulses meet consumer demands for nutritious and healthy food products with high fiber, high protein, low fat and gluten free characteristics.

Learn more about the superior functional and marketing advantages of pea, bean, lentil and chickpea ingredients and how to generate increased value from food products using these healthy, unique and cost-competitive ingredients. Pulse products available to the food industry include whole and split pulses, flours, protein concentrates and isolates, starches and fibers.

Discover how pulse ingredients can be used in food applications such as crackers and snack foods, bakery products, beverages, meat applications, pastas and more.

The symposium will include:

  • Presentations on 7 human clinical studies conducted under the auspices of Pulse Canada
  • Presentations on food formulation and marketing advantages of pulses
  • Displays of pulse food product prototypes including crackers, muffins, pastas, tortillas, beverages, meat analogues and extruded snacks
  • Pulse food cooking demo and tasty pulse food snacks
  • Networking opportunities
