We at Vaess, Dutch food engineers, have a mission: to develop food for tomorrow. For us, this goes far beyond creating delicious products. It’s about driving bold, meaningful innovations that address the challenges and opportunities in the ever-evolving plant-based sector.
We aim to be recognized as the technology leader in every niche we serve and in the plant-based market this means:
- > Optimizing taste and texture to meet the high standards of today’s consumers.
- > Embracing sustainability as a guiding principle in everything we do.
- > Pioneering hybrid innovations that merge plant-based and traditional proteins to unlock exciting new possibilities.
Innovation through collaboration
We believe that the best innovations are born from collaboration. That’s why we partner closely with customers, suppliers, and industry leaders to create solutions that truly make a difference.
A great example of this is our collaboration with Marlow Ingredients. Together, we are exploring groundbreaking applications for mycoprotein, a sustainable protein source with immense potential. By combining their expertise in mycoprotein production with our innovative systems, we’re creating solutions that set new standards in the plant-based sector.
We don’t just respond to market trends – we help shape them. By working together, we balance the needs of today with the responsibilities of tomorrow, creating a better world, one product at a time.
Shaping the future of plant-based food
Our commitment to the plant-based market is rooted in four key pillars that guide our innovation:
1) Building Blocks
The essential components that lay the foundation for your product:
- Optimize taste, texture and color.
- Enable versatile applications for plant-based and hybrid products.
2) Ready-to-use solutions
Tailored systems that deliver specific functionalities:
- Fat systems: providing melting, marbling, and visible structures, all low saturated fat without using tropical oils: therefore beneficial for the products nutritional profile.
- Plant-based cheese: designed to be sliceable, meltable and dosable; low saturated fat and delicious.
3) Alginate
High-performance alginate-based casing solutions for sausages to:
- Improve texture and bite.
- Enhance browning for better visual appeal.
- Increase cooking yield and adhesion.
4) Hybrid Innovations
Combining plant-based and meat:
- Create innovative hybrid products tailored to diverse consumer needs and help our customers stand out with excellent tasting and more sustainable products.
These pillars enable us to craft products that push the boundaries of what’s possible in the plant-based food industry.
