Retaining control under pressure:
How biosolutions help manufacturers win
Food and beverage manufacturers are entering a new era of opportunity. While rising input costs, shifting supply chains, and geopolitical changes are reshaping the landscape, they’re also accelerating a smarter, more resilient way of operating. Instead of relying solely on new equipment or external fixes, the biggest gains can come from within. By unlocking the full potential of your raw materials, enzymes and cultures turn everyday processes into powerful drivers of efficiency.
The result? Higher yields, more consistent quality, and lower energy use, all without the need for major capital investment. It’s a simpler, more sustainable path to doing more with what you already have.
Plant-based drinks: The answers to more efficient production are inside
The plant-based market competes fiercely on price and taste. Enzymatic treatment enables efficient viscosity control and increases extraction yields. For example, the Vertera® Rice Toolbox can push rice extraction yields up to 70 percent, lowering effective ingredient costs. In oat drinks, enzymes convert starches into natural sugars, reducing overall process time by 20 to 30 percent. This means more batches per shift, improved margins, and a distinct competitive advantage.
Yeast extracts: Speed, taste, and lower costs
Yeast extract manufacturers must balance processing speed, flavor differentiation, and production costs. Enzymes accelerate the breakdown of cellular material for faster processing. Protease enzymes release Free Amino Nitrogen to create unique umami flavor profiles that traditional processes cannot easily match. This enzyme-driven approach lowers extraction costs, helping you maintain competitiveness and profitability while delivering the premium sensory qualities your customers expect.
Collagen peptides: Optimizing raw material preparation
Animal skins and connective tissues contain components that interfere with extraction efficiency. Biosolutions offer targeted solutions for raw material preparation. Specific enzymes degrade starch to clean the extracellular matrix, while others target fats and lipids more efficiently than chemical alternatives. Proteases break down interfering structural proteins, leaving the collagen intact, pure, and ready for premium market positioning that drives strategic growth.
Pet food palatants: Take a bite out of rising costs
Managing rising costs without sacrificing palatability is a critical challenge for pet food palatant producers. Biosolutions unlock greater process control, higher yields, and lower energy usage. You can process plant-derived and animal-derived raw materials, including upcycled proteins from side-streams. This flexibility helps you overcome unreliable supplies of traditional animal by-products while developing the delicious flavors pets love.
