Increased Protein and Taste Profiles in Foods

The demand and importance of sustainable functional foods are recently growing with climate change, the excess of the world population, and increasing resource damage. Moreover, raising awareness for human health through diet plays a crucial role in the requirement for functional foods. Since functional foods have more beneficial and nutritional value in addition to the nutritional value of conventional foods, they are promising food products for the future.

People who are fond of healthy lifestyles prefer to consume functional foods instead of traditional foods. Furthermore, one of the biggest criteria for choosing functional food for these consumers is taste. Taste is enriched with aroma compounds since they play a critical role in the formation of main food sensory characteristics. That is why their impact on consumer preferences is remarkable. The aroma compounds are generally chemically synthesized. However, difficult and expensive processes, energy costs, and purification needs complicate the synthesis. Moreover, the changing raw materials used for the aroma compound synthesis affect the quality of flavor composition.

Average Protein Increase (%)

Higher protein, and natural taste profiles for sustainability and customer satisfaction.

To provide a sustainable flavor for the foods, natural aroma compounds or aroma components that are formed naturally should be preferred. Here at Valentis Biotech®, we produce cereal-based functional food raw materials that have high protein content thanks to biotechnologically fermented flour using special organisms. The organisms provide rich nutritional compositions to the grain flour and this can be used for making several foods supplying multiple nutritional elements, especially protein.

Our current results indicate a minimum of 20% increase in total protein content. Additionally, depending on the strain species and fermentation type, products gain different taste profiles like hazelnut, walnut, etc. On the other hand, as a result of fermentation and additional processes, the digestibility and enzyme activity of the flour increases. In practice 1.5kg of flour equivalent nutrition can be taken with only 1kg.
