Goat and sheep protein, turned into a premium functional ingredient
A biotech platform that removes the odor and flavor barriers that have limited the use of goat and sheep protein, while improving its sensory profile, digestibility and functional value.
The challenge
Valuable proteins, underused
Goat and sheep proteins have high nutritional value and an excellent protein profile, but their characteristic odor and flavor have limited their adoption and their presence in premium markets.
The solution
Neutralize the sensory barriers, boost the function
A proprietary biotech platform that neutralizes off-flavors, improves flavor and acceptance, increases digestibility and boosts functional compounds. It is not a product: it is a scalable, cross-cutting technology applicable to multiple food categories.
- Off-flavor neutralization and improved flavor
- Higher digestibility and bioavailability
- More bioactive compounds and functional value
- Technology applicable to multiple food categories
How it works
The platform technology
Directed enzymatic biotransformation
Specific enzymes modulate the protein profile.
Controlled biometabolism
Directed metabolic processes that improve the sensory and nutritional profile.
Volatile-compound modulation
Reduction of the compounds responsible for the characteristic odor and flavor.
Generation of bioactive compounds
The functional value of the final ingredient is boosted.
