••• 11 ••• Innovationen ProSweets Vision Control and Matching Nowadays controlling and verifying production processes are becoming more important for traceability. Checking prints on products is already a common technology, but control on color and film for pouches is still unknown. QEF develop a vision control system to check prints on film used for vertical bagger machines. In some cases, there must be a match between the right film, printed codes, processed order and products. electronic innovations BV QEF electric innovations BV Oeverweg 2A, 3417 XK MONTFOORT, The Netherlands Phone: +31 (0) 348-434483, E-mail: info@qef.nl Pouch red will be pushed over to the right and pouch blue will continue his way in the loop.

In order to adapt the sensory and nutri- tional characteristics in a natural way, the manufacturers are making use of the opportunities of the ingredients supplier industry. Market-leading com- panies are represented at ProSweets Cologne as well as smaller and medium- sized companies. ProSweets Cologne is once again being staged parallel to ISM, the world’s largest and most im- portant trade fair for sweets and snacks and thus in the direct vicinity of its sales market. A consumer study comes to the conclu- sion that over half of the consumers are interested in more healthy sweets and snacks and that they place great value on more than 60 per cent of natural in- gredients. Stronger differentiation Today, there is a stronger differentia- tion compared to a few years ago when it comes down to sweets, biscuits and snacks. Healthy foodstuffs are increas- ingly positioning themselves on the mar- ket according to the criteria what they don’t contain. Claims such as “sugar- free” and “lactose-free” are beginning to break away from their niche exist- ence and becoming mainstream instead. The industry reacts to the preferences of the consumers with recipe adaptions and the development of new products. This year, the “Ingredients – Reformula- tion for Sweets & Snacks” special event continues to be part of the event pro- gramme of ProSweets Cologne. The German Agricultural Society (DLG) is once again offering tours to different exhibitors from the ingredients section. Furthermore, lectures on the theme of “Reformulation” are on the agenda at Speakers Corner again. The DLG also plays a leading role here too. The aim is to make background information avail- able to the food industry that helps it to choose the appropriate sensory and food-technological adaption measures. Since both the European Commission and the German Federal Government see the reduction of sugar, fat and salt as an important step in sustainably im- proving the dietary and exercise behav- iour.
