FrieslandCampina Ingredients will be launching two new plant-based protein concepts at this years’ Fi Europe (6-8 December). Built using its innovative Plantaris™ Pea Isolate 85 A, the applications have been devised to respond directly to growing consumer demand for healthy plant-based indulgence, and will demonstrate how brands can create protein-rich products that deliver on both taste and nutrition. The company will also be showcasing innovation possibilities within gut health supplements, highlighting how its latest prebiotic ingredient, Biotis GOS-OP High Purity, easily enables the creation of convenient, on-trend supplement formats at stand 7.2J20.

To help brands capitalise on the market opportunity for healthy indulgence, FrieslandCampina Ingredients will be launching two new plant protein concepts – a tasty chocolate ready-to-drink (RTD) application and a high protein pudding – at Fi Europe’s New Product Zone.

The concepts are powered by the company’s innovative Plantaris Pea Isolate 85 A, which has been specially designed to help manufacturers overcome common challenges in plant-based formulation.
