One notable application is for the use of Clarisoy in powdered drink mixes. Powdered Clarisoy is easily dispersed and dissolved, 100% soluble and is completely transparent in solutions. As such, Clarisoy could be formulated as a protein source in a variety of powdered beverage mixes, or can be easily added by the consumer by stirring directly into their beverage.
“We believe Clarisoy is an exceptional ingredient for food formulators producing nutrient-enhanced drink mixes while also providing convenience for consumers,” said Johann F Tergesen, Burcon’s president and COO. “Burcon is well positioned to benefit from the growing health and wellness trend, as well as the emphasis on natural ingredients, all of which favour the inclusion of a functionally appealing protein source like Clarisoy.”
Clarisoy is expected to be price-competitive with existing proteins, and should be of particular interest to food and beverage manufacturers seeking an alternative to high dairy protein prices.
