Description

The project “PLANTFOODS – Development of non-dairy foods and beverages” has as its main objective the research, development and production of fermented and non-fermented non-dairy plant bases (PLANTFOODS bases), using cereals as sources of raw materials, that will be enriched with the incorporation of legumes and/or oleaginous fruits.

This combination aims to obtain formulations with added value in terms of well-balanced nutritional composition, wide physical and microbiological stability, high organoleptic quality and validated biological functionality, contributing as a key ingredient enabling the development and supply of new products that promote health and well-being. These solutions aim to reach consumers who are looking for alternative products of plant origin, aligned with the current trend of flexitarianism and/or physiological intolerance demands.
