Technology Application
To create great products, we employ cutting-edge technologies alongside proven methods (such as thermal treatment and pressure).
Pilot-Plant Prototyping
Our dedicated pilot facility, integrated with our food science lab, allows for systematic prototyping and refinement, to verify results before considering scale-up.
Scale-Up & Production Support
We facilitate the transition from pilot trials to efficient, larger-scale manufacturing. Throughout this critical phase, our focus remains on maintaining product quality.
Focus Areas in Plant-Based Development
Upcycled Ingredients
We work with diverse plant sources and promote circularity through ingredients like reOat®, our oat residue, rich in protein and fiber, derived from managed production streams.
Sensory Experience
Achieving desirable taste and texture is key. We focus on creating plant-based alternatives with appealing creaminess, balanced flavours, and pleasant mouthfeel.
Sustainable Processes
Sustainability forms our development work. We prioritize resource efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and the use of gentle, processing methods where feasible.
Targeted Nutrition & Functionality
We can develop products addressing specific nutritional profiles or functional needs, utilizing fortification or the inherent properties of plant ingredients.
