Furthermore, consumers want to see products that can
support a plant-based diet at every meal throughout the day
– not just a sweet breakfast. If plant-based products are to
succeed on the market, both their sensory profile and their
excellent nutritional value need to impress. A particularly
effective way for them to do this is to offer the consumer a
taste and texture experience comparable to that of the traditional
product, so as to build on familiar, learned properties.
Plant-based ingredients for an ideal
nutritional profile
Consumers demand food and beverages that not only deliver
good taste and sustainable production, but also added
value for body and mind. Numerous functional and healthy
ingredients, such as plant-based proteins, powders, nuts
and seeds, can be used in food and beverages to meet this
requirement – such as in the aforementioned sliced and
block cheese varieties and the cream cheese-style products.
The new Optifine Powders from Doehler also support a
plant-based, nutrient-rich diet. Starting from a wide range
of plants, gentle processing methods are used to protect the
healthy nutrients in the plants in the best possible way, to retain
their natural composition and deliver functional added
value – which is why the powders are also called full-spectrum
powders. These powders are particularly highly soluble
and ideal for foods and food supplements, beverages such
as smoothies, drinks and yoghurts.
Extensive product portfolio for plantbased
applications
Doehler provides numerous natural ingredients for a wide
range of applications that taste just as good to consumers
as familiar food based on milk or with animal ingredients. The
company’s profile includes plant-based ingredients for natural
and multi-sensory flavours and colours, powders, botanical
extracts and an extensive selection of herbs and spices,
offering the ideal basis for developing numerous plant-based
cheese variations. These natural ingredients can also be used
in tea and coffee beverages, juices and juice concentrates,
spoonables, desserts, ice cream, baked goods, confectionery,
and savoury foods and beverages. Depending on the recipe,
an application’s taste profile can be further refined with fruit
components or natural flavours to create an optimised nutritional
profile with optimum taste and ideal texture.
