Fortify with protein and fibres as a function and story

Consumers want products that make a difference. With protein and fibres, you get functional enrichment that boosts both nutritional value and usability.

Consumers want more out of what they eat

Interest in health and functional foods is growing rapidly. Today, many consumers expect their food and drink to not only satisfy their hunger, but also contribute to something more, for instance more energy in their daily lives, better digestion or a targeted nutritional intake in connection with physical activity.

Protein and fibres are no longer reserved for sports drinks and meal replacements for elite athletes. Consumers in all stages of life are now looking for products that support everyday functions such as energy, digestion and general well-being. This has made fortification an important part of product development – both in food and dietary supplements.

From breakfast products to ready-to-drink beverages and tablets, one thing is clear: products need to do more.

Protein fortification in practice

Protein contributes to satiety, muscle maintenance and energy. This makes it an obvious ingredient in products targeted at active consumers, older people and anyone who wants to eat sensibly.

From our partner COSUCRA, we offer PISANE™ pea protein, which is a complete and easily digestible protein source with a high content of the amino acids BCAA and arginine. With an amino acid score of 0.96 and good functionality, it is used in:

Sports nutrition and dietary supplements.
Bars and drinks.
Plant-based alternatives.
Dairy products and functional foods.

Fibres provides more than just health

Dietary fibres contribute to satiety and supports normal digestion. At the same time, they enhance the structure, texture and mouthfeel of many products.

FIBRULINE™ and FIBRULOSE™ chicory fibres from COSUCRA are used to:

Support intestinal function and prebiotic effect.
Replace sugar and polyols.
Increase satiety in both foods and dietary supplements.

Typical applications include:

Dietary supplements and fibre-enriched blends.
Functional bars and baked goods.
Meal products and snacks.

Functional ingredients that work

Protein and fibres stand out as functional ingredients because they have proven effects and support nutritional claims. Used alone or together, they offer noticeable benefits – both for the product and the consumer.
