🌱🥛 DSM-FIRMENICH UNVEILS TWO FLAVOUR INNOVATIONS TO BRIDGE THE PLANT-BASED DAIRY GAP One of the most challenging elements to fix for dairy-free milk manufacturers is also among the most desirable: better taste and texture. Taste is a barrier for 35% of consumers in the UK, Singapore and Australia, as it is for 30% of people across Europe. Americans, meanwhile, find oat milk more bitter, nut milk thicker and saltier, and soy milk earthier compared to dairy. Clearly, the industry needs innovations that can help these products jump these hurdles. dsm-firmenich – the health, nutrition and beauty ingredients giant – says it has found a couple. The flavourists at DSM-Firmenich have developed two solutions to address consumer concerns by replicating what they describe as the creamy, buttery flavour and rich texture of cow’s milk to transform dairy alternatives like oat, soy, pea and others. The team drew on the firm’s SmartProteins line of products to enhance plant-based foods, developing a range called Smart Milk to capture the taste and texture consumers desire. Meanwhile, DSM-Firmenich has created Dynarome DA, a technology that masks the off-notes associated with non-dairy milk while offering the mouthfeel of the conventional version. “Our mission is to transform the perception of plant-based drinks by delivering the authentic flavours and textures associated with dairy. With our latest taste solutions, our aim was to do more than mimic dairy but rather redefine what plant-based beverages can be,” said Jo Ann Fritsche, sweet goods director for North America at DSM-Firmenich’s Taste, Texture & Health division.

🌾🥛 7 BRANDS MAKING OAT MILK POWDERS FOR AT-HOME USE Oat milk has quickly become the darling of the plant-based milk space, which is by far the biggest money maker in the global vegan food market. Estimates suggest that oat milk will be a $5.6B market in 2033, with the number of brands and options proliferating all across the world. This has also necessitated diversity in offerings – consumers want cleaner-label, cheaper and versatile products, and brands are coming up with new ways to deliver these attributes. Enter oat milk powders. Several companies are making blitzed-up, dehydrated versions of oat milk that you can just add water to, reducing the amount of packaging and shelf space needed, while providing greater customisability. You want an oat cream? Add less water. Do you want a thinner milk that resembles skimmed? Add more. While it’s a nascent market and more research is needed to determine the true value of these products, you only have to look at the success of brands that have made oat milk powders their primary offerings, and the fact that traditional oat milk makers have also begun innovating with powdered versions, to know that the demand is there. Here are seven of the best companies making oat milk powders: 1️⃣ OVERHERD, Sandy Eyre 2️⃣ MIGHTY, Tom Watkins 3️⃣ JOI, Dave Korstad 4️⃣ Nimbus · Oat Milk, Alexandra Mills 5️⃣ Blue Farm, Philip von Have 6️⃣ EcoMil, NUTRIOPS SL 7️⃣ Oatbedient, Darren Teo More information in the full article: https://lnkd.in/eD7zBtMk #GreenQueen #altprotein #altdairy #ecopackaging #nutrition #sustainability #futurefood

Did you know alternative milks are the most purchased category in Europe's plant-based food and drink sector? 🥛🌍 Far from being a niche product, plant-based milk is no longer consumed exclusively by people following a vegan diet; it’s become a staple for households with all dietary choices (nearly 54% of European consumers prefer it to dairy milk). This is even higher in Germany, and 93% of consumers in the country buy plant-based milk alternatives! But how did non-dairy milk become the unsuspecting sector leader? And what can other plant-based categories learn from it? 🤔 In our latest ProVeg New Food Hub article, we break down the plant-based milk market, sharing insights that can be applied to other plant-based categories. Let’s replicate plant milk’s success! Find the article here ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02KX15p0 #ProVeg #PlantBasedMilk #NewFoodHub

https://lnkd.in/exH9KgFH As the hype around Oatly has started to fade and consumers wake up to the fact that it causes huge blood sugar spikes the dishonest media comes to its defense. Oatly has the same blood sugar impact as a typical can of Coke. Oatly has roughly 7 grams of added sugar per cup. Furthermore, Oatly's production process turns simple starches into maltose with a GI (glycemic index) of 105. For context, a typical doughnut has a (GI) of about 85. It's hard for me to consider Oatly as a healthy food. Do you think Oatly is healthy? #bloodsugar #insulinresistance #oatly

The global functional foods market is expected to exceed USD 212.65 billion in 2028. Health-conscious consumers are looking to pack as much into every bite as possible. Functional foods and ingredients provide enhanced benefits beyond their fundamental nutritional value. These can help consumers to improve their wellbeing and achieve healthier lifestyle goals. Technological innovations in the functional food ingredients industry can protect the ingredients’ vulnerability to destruction in the environment or ensure that the constituent remains ‘bioavailable’ after processing. As the market for supplements and functional foods grows, and improved manufacturing technology allows for more diverse fortification of foods, it’s important that clear standards define quality to offer consumers both clarity and reassurance.
