“Healthy Snack Testing” event, hosted by Bioeconomy Cluster in collaboration with AgroBioTech
Research Centre and companies Happylife and Food Incubator provided an exciting opportunity to
explore cutting-edge trends in healthy eating. Participants experienced the combination of science,
creativity and natural ingredients to test and evaluate healthier options for everyday snacking.
A Fusion of Flavors and Ideas
The event wasn’t just about tasting—it was about connecting with the philosophy behind the products.
Happylife showed a portfolio of healthy snacks crafted with care – coconut bars in various flavors like
strawberry, mango, blueberry or caramel, offering both indulgence and nourishment.
The Food Incubator demonstrated how research-driven approaches can lead to unique creations that
combine nutritional benefits with great taste – via its sweet and savory cookies, fortified with selenium
and active glucans from oyster mushrooms, blending functionality and flavor.
The AgroBioTech Centre, with its advanced sensory laboratory, provided the perfect setting for
meaningful discussions and idea exchanges between participants and experts.
Attendees participated in a guided sensory analysis, exploring the science of taste and evaluating the
products’ texture, aroma and overall appeal.
Gathering Insights to Innovate and Move Forward
One of the main goals of the event was to gather feedback on the taste, quality and composition of the
tested products. This input will be invaluable in refining recipes and improving offerings to meet the
needs and preferences of health-conscious consumers.
Events like “Healthy Snack Testing” are a testament to how science and innovation can reshape the
food industry. By focusing on natural ingredients, nutritional benefits, and sensory appeal, they pave
the way for creating products that are not only good for the body but also a joy to eat.
