Vegan milk
alternatives with Herbacel®
AQ® PLUS

Plant-based milk alternatives are playing an increasingly important role in the food industry. Ever more people are choosing to supplement or replace animal dairy products with plant-based alternatives for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is of tremendous importance for the food industry to offer products that meet the needs of consumers. In addition, many milk alternatives are also lactose-free, which provides an alternative for people with lactose intolerance. The food industry has responded to the growing demand for vegan milk alternatives, and now offers a wide range of products made from various plant sources such as soy, oats, almonds, coconuts or rice. The possibilities for using milk alternatives in various food products are expansive, ranging from yogurt and cheese to drinks and desserts.

Clean Labeling as “citrus fiber”

Texturizing plant-based yogurt alternatives with functional citrus fibers

Unlike the milk-based variants, the production of vegetable yogurts requires additional texturization. In order to achieve sufficient stabilization while fully enjoying the vegan yogurt alternatives, we recommend, in addition to the use of vegetable protein sources, the use of the functional citrus fibers HERBACEL® AQ® PLUS CITRUS.

HERBACEL® AQ® PLUS CITRUS offers numerous advantages for vegan yogurt alternatives. One of the most important features is its ability to create a pleasant texture, very similar to the taste and mouthfeel of traditional yogurt. In addition, the citrus fiber provides a very soft mouthfeel, as well as minimized syneresis.

Natural sweetness and coloring of milk alternatives

Are you looking to refine your yogurt alternative with a balanced sweetness or intensify the coloration of the products? Our coloring apple extract HERBAROM® and our sweetening apple extract HERBASWEET® are suitable for this use in vegan products.
