Innovation in integration
Manufacturers need solutions that balance qualities like taste modulation, masking and texturization with functional ingredients.
Meat alternatives
Nice to meat you!
The Flexitarian movement is on the rise, with consumers looking to reduce their meat consumption and explore more plant-based alternative protein options. To support them in their diet transformation you need to balance taste, texture, nutrition and sustainability in meat alternatives - and our solutions and expertise will help you do it.
It starts with our portfolio of integrated SmartProteins® solutions - ideal for a range of plant-based protein bases while supporting cleaner and more transparent labeling. It then extends to our taste solutions that deliver convincingly meaty flavor; complemented by equally natural hydrocolloids that add juiciness and mouthfeel - with less fat.
In fact, you can take great texture even further in meat alternatives with our proven Vertis™ Plant Proteins which also help bridge the nutrition gap in a more sustainable way: for example, Vertis™ CanolaPRO® - the only commercially available upcycled protein with a PDCAAS = 1 rating.
Tackling your key challenges in meat alternatives
To succeed in plant-based meat you need a partner that understands the trends driving consumer preference; and knows how to deliver the qualities needed to help you create differentiated meat alternatives.
