Alternative Proteins
Plant-based eating and alternative proteins are on the rise and predicted grow rapidly within the next few years. Plant-based food offers a variety of different protein sources such as pea, soy, oat or fava bean, which makes it an interesting market with many opportunities for producers and manufacturers.
In general plant proteins have poor solubility which can limit their application potential but AB Enzymes’ COROLASE® products help to increase solubility and, in doing so, they extend potential plant-protein applications in food. Their protease enzyme products also include solutions for collagen extraction, gelatine and the production of collagen peptides. The latter are now one of the leading ingredients used in food and beverages as well as dietary supplements and personal care.
Similarly, with many consumers still wanting to enjoy the flavour of meat in a healthier, more sustainable way, Ohly provides a range of vegan flavour solutions which help to impart meaty, roasted notes in plant-based food.
