ITERG expands its offering in the field of Plant Proteins: Sensory Analysis and Formulation Solutions
Plant proteins are an asset to the food industry, thanks to their many nutritional and environmental benefits.
The national plant protein strategy will focus on growing grain legumes (soy, chickpeas, lentils, dried beans) and forage legumes (alfalfa, clover, sainfoin, etc.) for animal and human consumption.
Several crops can provide protein, including oilseeds, which yield oil (ITERG specialty) and protein-rich meal (IMPROVE specialty).
Our subsidiary IMPROVE is the first open European platform totally dedicated to the Proteins enhancement of the future. IMPROVE's scientific expertise in the field of plant proteins extends from fundamental research to market launch.
Growth in the use of plant proteins is limited by a number of factors, not least sensory aspects. Consumers are reluctant to accept the aroma, flavor and texture of vegetable proteins, and astringency and bitterness are two major sensory shortcomings.
