Ingredion has launched Vitessence Prista, a new range of pea and faba bean concentrates designed to help new product developers build the right taste, nutritional profile, and consumer-preferred natural, – non-soy-based products.
This innovation provides a breakthrough in plant-based food development as it does not have a plant flavour, bitter taste or uncontrolled microbial levels, which are often inherent in dry-milled pulse products.
Esra Akmanli, business development manager platforms at Ingredion, Europe, said the range meets a need where consumers are more likely to try brands with claims of “natural” and “healthy” ingredients, such as “protein,” “plant based” and “gluten-free”.
“With Vitessence Prista, formulators can develop products that boast a delightful balance with an improved taste profile, lighter colour, low microbial count and superior functionality to meet consumer needs for products that truly delight,” Akmanli added.
