Consumer demand is rising for healthy, sustainable, non-GMO nutrition that does not compromise flavor, texture, and affordability. Superbrewed Food’s natural, Postbiotic Protein is animal- and allergen-free, non-GMO, and able to replace or complement animal and plant proteins in existing and new food formulations. Postbiotic Protein is over 85% protein with a high content of essential and branched chain amino acids. It is a whole food ingredient as opposed to an isolated protein source; thus it also contains high concentrations of nutritious minerals and vitamins such as iron, zinc, phosphorous and B12, which provide nutrition and health benefits beyond protein.
Postbiotic Protein exhibits neutral taste, minimal color, excellent pH and temperature stability, and good functional properties such as emulsification. Given these advantages, the ingredient is being applied in many food categories with global CPGs including sports and lifestyle beverages, baked goods, confectionary, alternatives to meat, and healthy snacks. The ingredient performs particularly well in dairy and alternative dairy applications, and Superbrewed and Bel Group are already well advanced in their strategic collaboration to develop many lines of cheese products that incorporate this transformational ingredient. As market leaders in formulation and natural ingredient solutions, Döhler will also work with Superbrewed Food to commercialize Postbiotic Protein for CPG in business to consumer applications.
Being Sustainable by nature®, Döhler supports solutions that actively address climate change, including those that reduce CO2 and GHG emissions, and prioritize animal wellbeing, ethics, and the circular economy. The company is an established leader in responding to industry demand while also resolving taste and texture challenges for dairy and meat alternatives. Superbrewed Food offers both the nutritional and functional characteristics required of effective protein sources, and shares Döhler’s commitment to sustainability. The manufacturing partnership will position Superbrewed Food to rapidly expand its commercial offerings across North America and beyond in the year ahead.
