The food industry is facing unprecedented pressure to reduce HFSS (high fat, sugar, salt) content in its products. At the same time, consumers are demanding cleaner labels and higher protein content.
The challenge? Creating genuinely healthier products that consumers actually want to eat and buy again. A new, innovative approach is required and MicroLub has the solutions.
Our protein-based ingredient solutions reduce fat content while maintaining the indulgent mouthfeel of full-fat products. So much so that you won’t be able to tell the difference.
High-protein products typically suffer from sticky mouth coating, grittiness, and astringent texture that limit their mainstream appeal. MicroLub eliminates these problems and enables you to create delicious, protein-enriched foods and beverages.
Beyond fat and protein, MicroLub’s technology enables the incorporation of large quantities of nutrients – vitamins, minerals, functional ingredients – without impacting texture or mouthfeel. Create fortified products that deliver the nutrition consumers need with sensory experiences they crave.
Plant-based alternatives often face sensory challenges because plant proteins create astringency and unpleasant texture. MicroLub’s bespoke solutions address this challenge, helping alternative protein products achieve the mouthfeel and appeal of animal-based foods.
MicroLub’s technology solutions can be designed with clean-label requirements in mind, enabling the use of shorter ingredient lists and recognisable, consumer-friendly ingredients. Whether working with dairy or plant proteins, our technology delivers transparency alongside performance.
Create reduced-fat cream cheese, yoghurts, and dairy desserts that are indistinguishable from the full-fat original versions. MicroLub’s bespoke solutions can reduce fat content by 50% or more in a clean-label recipe, while maintaining the rich, indulgent mouthfeel consumers love.
Achieve the softness and moisture of full-fat bakery products – with significantly reduced fat content. From cakes to pastries, MicroLub’s solutions help you overcome the typical challenges of reduced-fat or vegan-friendly baked goods.
Formulate reduced-fat chocolate fillings and spreads that deliver a silky smooth, melt-in-the-mouth sensation for better-for-you foods without sacrificing the premium quality consumers expect from indulgent treats. With the ever-increasing cost of cocoa butter, MicroLub’s expertise can also improve the bottom line of your chocolate-based products.
Eliminate the adhesiveness and gritty texture that plague high-protein products. MicroLub’s solutions enable you to create deliciously smooth, yoghurts, meal-replacement drinks, and protein bars which are high in protein and rich in taste.
Plant-based dairy products often struggle with mainstream consumer acceptance because plant proteins create astringency and textural issues. MicroLub’s solutions address these challenges, helping alternative dairy products achieve the mouthfeel and indulgence consumers want.
Create high-protein beverages without chalky, astringent texture and mouthfeel. MicroLub’s solutions enable you to formulate smooth, great-tasting protein shakes and fortified drinks – both dairy and plant-based – that appeal to all consumers.
