Prinova has launched a range of premixes for dairy
replacement products, to help manufacturers respond
to what it describes as a plant-based “revolution”.
In a new White Paper, the company highlights the
growing prevalence of vegan and other non-dairy diets
and its impact on plant-based markets. The dairy alternative
market is projected to grow from USD 21.4 billion
globally in 2020 to USD 36.7 billion by 2025 – a CAGR
of 11.4%.1 Similarly, the plant-based protein market is
predicted to increase from USD 10.3 billion in 2020 to
USD 14.5 billion by 2025 – a CAGR of 7.1%.2
The shift towards plant-based diets has created new
nutritional challenges. Although vegans generally obtain
enough protein, it can be hard for them to consume some
micronutrients in sufficient quantities. Vitamin B12, for example,
is absent from virtually all plant-based foods.
In order to help manufacturers meet this need, Prinova
has developed new nutrient-rich premixes for dairy replacement
products, and new recipes to demonstrate how
well they work. Made from Prinova’s 85% pea protein, its
plant-based milk is smooth and creamy with a full yet light
mouthfeel. Meanwhile, its pea protein yoghurt is whiter
than most plant-based alternatives on the market.
A single serving of each recipe with 25mg of the premix
contains 15% of the recommended intake of Vitamin B12
and 50% of the recommended intake of Vitamin D.
Prinova also offers a premix optimised for plant-based
cheeses, which it is showcasing in a vegan cream cheese
recipe. The premixes can all be adapted to include additional
functional ingredients, such as probiotics, as well as
flavourings.
Tony Gay, Head of Technical Sales & NPD for Nutrition at
Prinova said: “The rise of plant-based diets is one of the most
important trends in the food industry today. It has created
a whole new consumer segment with particular nutritional
needs, and new challenges and opportunities for manufacturers.
One of the best strategies they can adopt is the use
of nutrient-rich premixes. Our new recipes demonstrate how
easy it is to offer appealing dairy replacement products that
meet the nutritional requirements of vegan consumers.”
The new recipes were made using Prinova’s Pea Protein
85%, which is high in Branched Chain Amino Acids and
allergen-free. Additionally, Prinova offers a full portfolio of
other plant-based proteins which include chickpea, oat and
soy, and which can be used in applications ranging from
sports nutrition to pet food.
