Nutrition Scientific Formulations Advice

Make informed decisions with scientific advice you can rely on

The world of food and nutrition can be tricky to navigate. Whether you're shaping regulations or creating products, it can be tough to make sense of it without a solid understanding of both nutrition and food science. With changing consumer behavior, health trends, shifting views, and new research on nutrition, food technologies, human health (including the gut microbiome), it can feel overwhelming and confusing.

Dr. Anneline works with policymakers and food industry groups to provide clear, actionable food and nutrition science advice. She collaborates with you to help make informed decisions that align with your organisation’s goals.

Agnostic, transparent advice from a nutritional food scientist

Food science and nutrition often come with biases, but Dr. Anneline offers clear, science-based advice beyond popular opinion. Every product—from broccoli to steak to marshmallows—has its place in the diet. It’s about understanding each food's contribution to overall diet quality. But when it comes to health-focused food formulations, it’s not just about adding Xg of nutrient B or superfood Y. We have to take into consideration the impact of processing technologies (which can enhance or reduce nutritional value), food architecture, nutrient-nutrient interactions, and the role of the digestive tract on being able to release and absorb nutrients from foods we consume. Dr. Anneline's expertise lies in understanding how both processing and digestion affect nutrient uptake and the impact on health. The perfect skillset in designing products for health.

Dr Anneline offers you the science you need to produce quality products, make the right decisions, and meet the needs of consumers in an ethical way.

Support for policymakers, food industry, peak bodies, and consumers

Dr Anneline has provided expert advice to a range of key stakeholders from industry bodies including Meat and Livestock Australia, the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology, Australian Dairy Conference, Australian Meat Industry Council, Australian Lot Feeder's Association, Lambex Australia, The Australian Wagyu Association and The Angus Association of Australia as well as research organisations including CSIRO, The University of Sydney, The University of New South Wales, and FOODIQ Global, and private industry.

"Anneline, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in hosting Boot Camp last week.

In my experience, seminars like this can go two ways, especially when you have a mix of large multinationals with passionate family producers, Govt and policy institutions sat alongside naked commercial interests.

The success in pulling these diverse interests together and creating an engaging and thought provoking day for such a mix was largely due to yourself.

You set exactly the right tone for the day with your mega trend presentation and then pulled out the right mix of stories, emotion and information from the panel sessions. Your pre work research and creative "on your feet" thinking made it feel relevant and fresh. “
