New business opportunities

Given the rapid increase in consumer demand for non-dairy proteins, maybe it’s time to explore new business opportunities in plant-based proteins or fermented ingredients? Plant-based proteins (e.g. pea or canola protein) are increasingly being used in manufactured foods like biscuits in place of dairy proteins, and fermented ingredients are becoming popular to produce dairy protein with micro-organisms, protein from biomass or from novel ingredients like oligosaccharides. All these avenues offer good potential for profitable expansion.

If you’re interested in entering the market for plant-based proteins, work with us to devise the best production process, and minimise your energy use without jeopardising the quality of your end product.
