Two new versions of the plant-based oat protein concentrate PrOatein

Lantmännen PrOatein Organic.

PrOatein Fine and PrOatein Organic are the latest additions to Lantmännen’s oat ingredients portfolio, which also includes the PromOat family of oat beta-glucan ingredients.

PrOatein oat protein is a natural and unique plant-based protein concentrate, based on Swedish non-GMO oats, that meet the fast-growing consumer demand for nutritious, protein-enriched foods and beverages, as well as food supplements. It can be used to boost the protein content of a wide range of applications, including bread, cookies, biscuits, pasta, dairy alternatives and lifestyle nutrition products.

In meat analogues, PrOatein enhances the texture, flavour, and amino-acid profile of legume-based TVP products. The protein concentrate works especially well in combination with pea protein.

PrOatein Organic is produced via a natural process from organic oats. It is an alternative or complement to other plant-based protein sources and can be used to boost the protein content of a wide range of organic applications.

PrOatein Fine is specially developed to be used in applications where mouthfeel is of importance, such as dairy alternatives, plant-based beverages and lifestyle nutrition. The protein levels are equal to conventional PrOatein, only PrOatein Fine has a smaller particle size – resulting in a smoother mouthfeel.

“We are very pleased to be able to answer to the increasing global demand for organic ingredients with this launch, since the marker of plant-based proteins and organic food is continuously growing year on year,” says Kristian Knutson, marketing & sales manager food ingredients.
