Being well-nourished is important for physical and mental health. Malnutrition is common among older people who are admitted to hospital. After being discharged from hospital, these individuals are still in poor nutrition.
The aim of the project was to develop tasty and tasty products that improve the nutritional status of older people. Emphasis was placed on developing products with a soft texture due to chewing and swallowing difficulties, which were also energy-dense and protein-rich and at the same time easy to handle with regard to reduced mobility and muscle strength.
