Organisers of this year’s Food Ingredients Europe (FiE) exhibition say it was the busiest ever. The show, which took place in Frankfurt, Germany, in November, reportedly attracted 12,134 visitors, 5% more than the previous year’s event in London, UK.
Archer Daniels Midland won the FiE ’98 Most Innovative Food Ingredient award for its Ultralec lecithin product. The ingredient is said to be particularly suitable for dairy formulations, where its clarity and purity can enhance typically delicate and complex flavours. Runner-up in the competition was National Starch with Novation.
