Clarisoy, an exciting new advance in soy protein, possesses some interesting attributes, including its unique ability to mix into acidic beverages, such as juice and sports drinks; exceptional flavor characteristics (no “beany” taste often associated with soy protein); transparency (becomes  " invisible"  in the beverage); and the ability to withstand high temperatures in hot-fill applications. This revolutionary advance on traditional soy protein isolates greatly expands soy protein’s potential marketplace as a food protein ingredient. Burcon NutraScience, a food ingredients R&D company, is making plant and oilseed proteins more accessible for human consumption worldwide. Burcon NutraScience, info@burcon.ca, www.burcon.ca
