Biocatalysts Ltd Launches PlantPro™ enzyme range to address key challenges in the plant-based food industry

Published 18 November 2024

Home/ Media & Resources/ Biocatalysts Ltd Launches PlantPro™ enzyme range to address key challenges in the plant-based food industry

Biocatalysts Ltd, a leading provider of enzyme solutions for the food industry, is excited to introduce PlantPro™, an innovative enzyme range crafted to tackle the pressing challenges facing plant-based food manufacturers. With the plant-based foods market experiencing unprecedented growth, the demand for products that excel in taste, texture, and functionality has never been higher. PlantPro™ by Biocatalysts Ltd offers breakthrough solutions for creating high-quality plant-based beverages as dairy alternatives, as well as plant-based meat and cheese substitutes. This latest range of speciality enzymes empowers manufacturers to create unique, premium plant-based products that stand out in today’s competitive landscape.

Tackling Industry Challenges Head-On

While consumer interest in sustainable and ethical food choices continues to rise, plant-based products often struggle to match the sensory appeal of their animal-derived counterparts. Common challenges, such as off-flavours, gritty textures, and limited functionality, can deter consumers from fully embracing plant-based alternatives. PlantPro™ enzymes were specifically developed to address these limitations, providing manufacturers with tools to improve the palatability, texture, and overall sensory quality of plant-based ingredients. These enzymes not only enhance plant-based products to closely mimic the qualities of animal-based foods but also open new avenues to elevate taste and mouthfeel, setting a new standard in the plant-based market.

Introducing Umami-Enhancing Enzymes for Plant-Based Ingredients

A key innovation in the PlantPro™ range is the PlantPro™ 726L enzyme, designed to add a rich, umami flavour profile to plant-based products—a notable gap in the current market. Plant-based proteins, such as soy and pea, often carry undesirable taste profiles, which can affect consumer acceptance. The PlantPro™ 726L enzyme naturally enhances umami flavours, enabling manufacturers to achieve deeper, more complex taste profiles without the need for artificial additives or masking agents. This advancement not only improves flavour but also aligns with clean label trends, offering a healthier, more natural product for discerning consumers.
