Nutrition & Wellbeing
Meat & Dairy Analogs
The Flexitarian movement is on the rise among consumers across the world. Driven by the belief that eating less meat and animal products is beneficial to individual health and environmental well-being, Flexitarians are keen on making a lifestyle change aimed at replacing meat with more plant-based protein alternatives. They are increasingly seeking healthy and memorable eating experiences beyond current flavor boundaries where animal derivatives are no longer ‘center of plate.’
The Firmenich SmartProteins™ portfolio of integrated flavor solutions is designed to perform in a range of protein bases while addressing the declaration challenges of cleaner and more transparent labeling. We enable you to create vegetarian and vegan-friendly alternatives to traditional meat and dairy based products in Savory, Sweet and Beverages without compromise.

Masking
Great flavor sometimes comes from removing what the consumer doesn’t want to taste. Integrated solutions are ideal for minimizing off-notes and unpleasant after tastes through precise flavor masking.
