Desired sensory experience

Adding protein can sometimes alter the taste, texture, and overall sensory experience of food and beverages. Tapping into Scoular’s portfolio of plant proteins, which are largely neutral in flavor and light in color, can help manufacturers overcome these challenges and make products that deliver a functional boost without compromising flavor or visual impact.
