Kerry has introduced ProDiem™, a plant-based protein solution optimized for nutrition, texture, and taste. Designed for “All your daily protein needs,” this new portfolio, which includes combinations of pea, rice and oats proteins, is boosting the nutritional profile of high protein formulations.
ProDiem™ uses a proprietary processing technique and Kerry flavor-masking technology to address the grainy, chalky texture and mask the characteristic off-notes and bitterness traditionally associated with plant-based proteins; and it has delivered an amino acid profile closer to that of animal protein. The nutrition and taste profile of ProDiem™ is supported by PDCAAS analysis as well as sensory data.
ProDiem™ can be enhanced with additional Kerry technologies such as: Taste Solutions, Fibre Systems, Nutritional Lipids (Nutrivie™) and Wellmune®.
The market growth for these new plant proteins is being fueled by key consumer demands, including a rise in allergies and food intolerances, better understanding of nutrition, renewed focus on ethics and suitability, and concerns about the potentially harmful use of antibiotics and hormones.
ProDiem™ can be used for a variety of applications where a protein fortification with an allergen free protein source is required, including:
- Beverages
- Nutritional Bars
- Ready Meals
- Soups
Please contact your Skidmore representative for samples or more information on ProDiem™ or other Kerry products.
