2nd - The Future of Oilseeds: Prospects for Plant based Proteins?
[04.12.2024]10.-11. March 2025, Frankfurt
Registration is now open!
The German Society for Fat Science (DGF) serves as a neutral platform for the exchange of knowledge between science and practice and is pleased to announce after 2023 the second conference on vegetable proteins titled “The Future of Oilseeds: Prospects for Plant-Based Proteins?” This event will take place from March 10th to 11th 2025 in Frankfurt am Main.
The future of oilseeds is increasingly intertwined with the demand for plant-based proteins, driven by consumer preferences for sustainable nutrition and the need for alternative protein sources. As global oilseed production is projected to reach record highs, the industry is adapting to meet these evolving demands. However, the oilseed industry must adapt through innovation and sustainable practices to ensure it meets these new challenges while capitalizing on emerging opportunities in plant-based food markets.
The global protein market continues to expand and the demand for protein sources is on the rise. Plant proteins, derived from various plant groups such as pulses, nuts, and primarily oilseeds, are not only rich in protein but also provide essential nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Despite these nutritional benefits, these raw materials are still used far too rarely in food production.
This conference will provide a valuable opportunity to learn about and discuss with experts and other participants the latest research findings on protein production, food applications, and protein characterization. Our presenters will include experts from the oil processing industry, research institutions, and the food application sector.
The information shared at this conference is designed for all stakeholders in the edible oil and pulses industry, as well as consumers and professionals involved in the evaluation and marketing of proteins.
We would be delighted to welcome you to Frankfurt am Main for the conference “The Future of Oilseeds: Prospects for Plant-Based Proteins?”.
