Starter cultures for plant-based products
Plant-based foods and beverages represent an increasingly widespread reality today. Products made from plant-based substrates, also referred to as Dairy-Free, are a significant market phenomenon. Yoghurt-like and plant-based cheeses - without milk and dairy products - are produced by various brands and in different types, from a variety of different bases - soya, coconut, rice, oat, almond, cashew and other ingredients that offer various combination options.
Ethical-environmental requirements or health and wellness reasons guide the consumer towards this product category. But the clean-label philosophy, inspired by criteria of simplification and transparency, also influences market choices and urges manufacturers on the research front. The main objective of the R&D departments, in charge of such research, is to maintain the high quality standards set, such as texture, taste, creaminess, shelf-life, using the fewest possible ingredients
The use of milk enzymes and starter cultures plays a key role in achieving these goals.
