Proteins
Our wide range of dairy-based, plant-based and functional proteins offer excellent nutritional value and superior functional properties—like flavor, solubility and heat stability.
From extending shelf life, to improving flavor, texture and nutrition, our Functional Protein Solutions can improve the overall quality of a wide range of products.
BarFlex™ Whey Proteins
Whey protein isolates (WPIs) and concentrates (WPCs) that enable 100% whey formulations, minimize bar hardening and extends the shelf life of nutritional bars. It’s an excellent source of high-quality protein that gives bars a clean flavor and a long-lasting, chewy texture.
Our BarFlex 100 WPC was specifically designed and optimized for extrusion, delivering a range of exceptional starch-like textures without the inclusion of high quantities of starch making it ideal for bar and snack inclusions.
barGAIN® Protein Blends
A unique combination of dairy and plant proteins designed to enhance bar functionality, providing a softer texture, an extended shelf life and a clean flavor profile. It’s a complete protein solution for low-to-moderate protein bars, baked goods and cookies.
BarHarvest® Plant Proteins
Plant protein-based systems (non-soy) designed to deliver protein fortification in emerging plant-based bar, cereal, and snack applications without negatively impacting texture or shelf life. Delivers a variety of textures while minimizing the dryness, brittleness and hardness over shelf life commonly associated with plant proteins.
Our BarHarvest Pea Protein Series are functionally designed to allow for high levels of protein fortification without compromising taste and texture in bars, snacks and baked goods.
BarPro™ Milk Proteins
Milk protein concentrates and isolates (MPCs & MPIs) designed to extend the shelf life of nutrition bars and minimize bar hardening. Truly Grass Fed™ option available. They’re an excellent source of high-quality protein with a short texture and a clean flavor profile.
Our BarPro 100 series was specifically designed and optimized for extrusion, delivering a range of exceptional starch-like textures without the inclusion of high quantities of starch making it ideal for extruded snacks, cereals and inclusions.
BevWise™ Protein Systems
Protein fortification ingredient systems specifically for use in aseptic, hot fill and cold fill processing, providing exceptional nutritional attributes and functional benefits to high acid beverages (protein waters, functional juices, energy drinks, electrolyte beverages). Benefits include superior clarity, less astringency, and improved processing with better dispersion.
