Formulation

Formulating plant-based products to maximize nutrition and deliver function is a growing opportunity, and selecting the right building blocks in formulation is important. The gap between nutrition delivery and consumer desires is one that can be filled by a new generation and greater variety of products.

Built on a legacy of more than 50 years of product innovation, Kansas Protein Foods produces cost-effective, sustainable textured soy protein products from U.S. soybeans. Kansas Protein Foods manufactures and flavors products at its Hutchinson, Kan., facility, which has received a Level 2 SQF certification.

The new facility, which will have a fermentation capacity of 600,000 liters with a fully dedicated downstream process (DSP), will be located in the Midwest Industrial Park in Richmond, Ind. Commercial production is expected by the end of 2024.

With three simple ingredients, purified water, sea salt, oats/almonds, and no oils or gums, the brand designed the latest offerings to meet the needs of consumers seeking products with fewer ingredients at an accessible price point. 

The ProTerra Certification program promotes social and environmental sustainability through food and feed supply chains, to support efforts to continuously improve day-to-day business operations and to help organizations to engage and implement the concept of sustainable development.

Kemin Industries will showcase its complete portfolio of clean label ingredient solutions during the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, January 24-26, 2023.

Visitors to booth #BC9419 can sample several prototypes, including a delicious hot dog bite that features FFP’s performance and protection ingredient solutions, showcasing how easily they can achieve a fully clean label with maximum protection, and better texture and flavor.

Batory Sweetener Solutions will be dedicated to any and all initiatives surrounding food & beverage sweeteners, from conventional ingredients and low-sugar alternatives to precision blending and custom formulation. 

Unlike other label claims, such as “natural” or “regenerative,” “USDA Organic” is the only federally defined and enforced eco-label in the marketplace. It is backed by third-party certification and provides traceability from the farm to the consumer.

Plant-based consumer demand is shifting. No longer just a substitute meant to mimic animal products, plant-based is becoming a standalone segment, creating a wide new space for brands to let their innovation instincts grow.
