Vegan Flavour Solutions | Meat Replacement Flavour Alternatives

Worldwide meat consumption continues to drop in response to concerns about environmental impact and animal welfare, as well as health. Vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian lifestyles are becoming increasingly popular.

Delivering convincing taste and texture remains a key challenge when developing plant-based alternatives. Consumers ask for natural, healthy alternatives with an authentic taste and mouthfeel. (Innova, 2023).

How yeast extracts can help you create successful alternative protein products

Improving taste and texture	Ohly's range of versatile yeast-based ingredients deliver authentic taste and texture ideal for alternative protein products.
Enhancing nutritional value	Ohly nutritional yeasts contain a wealth of vitamins, minerals and proteins.
Providing healthier options	Ohly's yeast-based solutions enable salt content reduction of up to 40% without compromising on flavour richness.
Lowering environmental impact	Many of our yeast-based ingredients are available with ClimatePartner certification thanks to the steps we are taking to monitor and reduce emissions across our manufacturing operations.

Although nobody doubts that plant protein is more environmentally friendly and sustainable, making it taste as good as meat can be a real challenge.

We harness the natural flavours of yeast to both deliver meaty notes and mask any undesirable off-notes from the plant protein. Plus, we also make sure that your products have that juicy and fatty mouthfeel of meat, which can be so hard to replicate.

Best of all, you only need to add a little to your products: our solutions work incredibly well at low dosages.
