Whether you’re looking to improve the sustainability and health image of your current line or create new protein-based beverages or meat and dairy alternatives, enzymes can help. These strategic process aids provide a more sustainable, renewable option that allows customers to achieve more efficient use of raw materials and build higher-quality end products for food and beverage markets.
Rethink your existing products and explore how enzymes derived from nature can elevate your production and help meet the latest demands for healthier, more sustainable and cleaner label alternatives on your shelf.
Nature’s formula to support clean label challenges
Novonesis’ enzymatic solutions for processing vegetable proteins into plant-based food and beverage products offer competitive advantages that support a cleaner label and contribute to nutrition, wellness and digestion claims.
A better way to enhance flavours
Enzymatically hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (eHVP) can be used as flavour enhancers in a wide variety of savoury food products for more natural and sustainable flavour enhancement and salt reduction.
Optimizing sensorial appeal of plant-based meats
Through careful selection of the right Novonesis enzymes, processors can develop plant-based beverages and meats with optimal mouthfeel, taste and digestibility.
Enzymatic hydrolysis can significantly improve the functionalities of plant-based proteins. Light enzymatic hydrolysis helps to deliver desired product characteristics for many protein substrates, including solubility, neutral taste and rapid, easy protein absorption.
Fortifying for nutrition and wellness products
Such hydrolysates can be used for protein fortification or developing new plant protein enriched beverages in categories like sports nutrition, weight management and dairy analogues. Enzymes can ensure desired functionalities and enjoyable flavour without bitterness, allowing food manufacturers to deliver the properties required in modern food products.
Tap into the alternative dairy trend with a tempting oat drink
Consumers still desire milk, but the shift to vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian lifestyles is opening the door to new possibilities. This is causing dairies to begin thinking about milk beyond the dairy boundaries, and while there are several promising plant-based alternatives, trends show that oat drinks have the most potential. There are several reasons why.
First is their close association with milk, due to their widespread use as part of breakfast cereal and complementary taste. Another is their nutritional profile, which sets them apart from other plant-based dairy alternatives as a potentially healthier option. Added to that, local sourcing makes oats a sustainable choice. With Novonesis plant-based beverages containing an outstanding nutritional profile, manufacturers can tap into a growing opportunity in the oat drink market and meet consumer demands.
Together, Novonesis and Foodology by Univar Solutions bring healthier, sustainable biotechnology products to plant-based food and beverage producers around the world.
