GoodMills Innovation has unveiled a new plant-based protein blend designed to support formulation of protein-rich baked goods without compromising on taste or sensory quality.

The protein blend, named GoWell Tasty, is made from fava beans, yellow peas, sunflower seeds and wheat. It boasts a protein content of 60% and a ‘well-rounded’ amino acid profile, the German ingredients specialist said, as well as offering a ‘pleasant and subtle’ nutty flavour free from unwanted off-notes.

GoWell Tasty is designed specifically for light baked goods such as burger buns, sandwich rolls or soft breads. According to GoodMills Innovation, it delivers a ‘delicate bite’ and ensures the original character of the baked goods is preserved thanks to no overpowering flavours.

It can be seamlessly incorporated into existing recipes without the need for major adjustments, and increases protein content even at low dosage for cost-effective production.

The blend is also suitable for use in bagels, baguettes, pretzels and pancakes. Depending on dosage and recipe, manufacturers can also make claims such as ‘high protein content’ or ‘vegan’.
