The popularity of plant-based foods is on the rise, driven by their reduced environmental impact and potential health benefits, such as lowering the risk of chronic disease like type 2 diabetes.
Did you know Danone also develops foods with plant-based proteins like fermented drinks? However, a key challenge with ingredients sourced from plants is their taste, often influenced by compounds that produce undesirable “off notes”. These compounds can detract from the overall flavor experience, affecting consumer enjoyment.
We believe everyone deserves to eat not just a healthier diet, but a tastier one too! Therefore, we are actively exploring ways to improve and eliminate unpleasant taste and smell attributes of plant-based aliments.
Our focus extends beyond mere identification of these undesirable qualities; we’re delving into their chemical origins and developing innovative strategies to mitigate them effectively. Collaborating with like-minded organizations through initiatives such as the “Enhancing the Taste of Plant-Based Food Products”, we’re dedicated to revolutionizing the landscape, and ultimately ensuring a superior consumer experience.
