This session will begin with a tour of Imbibe’s 40,000 sq ft Beverage Innovation Center and continue with a hands-on presentation where participants will be able to taste in order to enhance their understanding of how to formulate beverages with protein. This presentation will focus on tactical solutions to real world problems in order to avoid setbacks during development and scale-up.
