Highly Nutritious

Soy milk has the highest protein content of all plant-based drinks. Actually, it is the one with the closest nutritional profile to cow's milk. Meet your consumers' need for higher protein and better nutrition with soy-based drinks. 

Low raw material cost

Easily Grown & Locally Sourced

Soy is a versatile ingredient, well-known globally, with widespread use throughout the food industry. This makes it an easily accepted, sustainable ingredient among consumers.

Good foam

It is crucial for plant-based dairy to perform in barista applications. This is because many consumers' first experience with plant-based dairy is in their coffee. With Novonesis biosolutions, soy can produce a rich, creamy foam.

The challenges

Consumer preferences are changing, and it is not only strict vegans or vegetarians who consume plant-based milk anymore. There is a growing “flexitarian” segment that incorporates plant-based dairy products into their everyday diets. But giving the consumers everything they want from soy solutions can be a challenge. Turn the challenge into an opportunity with our biosolutions.

The answers to better digestibility are inside

Soy and pulses naturally contain high amounts of RFOs -- raffinose and stachyose --  which are  responsible for digestive issues such as bloating and gas.

Enzymes such as the recently introduced Vertera® Mello can transform RFOs into sugars, making products mildly sweeter and easier on the stomach. It also supports low FODMAP claims.

The answers to added protein are inside

The protein level in soy products is already high, and it can be increased even further while still preserving a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. This has only recently become possible, due to the latest enzyme technology. The enzymes avoid the otherwise grainy texture that can occur in soy drinks and vegurts.

Why enzymes? They work on the inside

Proteases, glutaminases and alpha-galactosidases are all enzymes used for soy drink production. They all work by breaking down soy through a process known as hydrolysis. Each enzyme plays a specific role in getting the exact protein and sensory profile you want for your consumers.​

You can develop your desired soy drink by using different enzymes at different steps in your process. ​

Enzymes help achieve smoother, creamier texture, higher sweetness, more protein and improved digestibility.
