What Are Plant-Based Proteins & Why Do They Matter in Modern Formulations

Ready to make your products more popular with consumers? Plant-based proteins from Norben can help you do just that. Our proteins can help enhance your product’s nutritional profile without negatively affecting flavor, texture and/or color. Plant-based proteins, such as pea protein, are often used as a meat or dairy alternative in food, beverages and nutritional supplements.


The 4 Top Reasons to Add Protein to Your Products



  1. More people than ever are looking to enhance their protein intake. 
  2. Health professionals recognize the benefits of protein for weight loss, training recovery and muscle development. 
  3. For people looking to reduce their meat or dairy consumption, or their reliance on soybeans, plant-based proteins offer a safe, proven and clean alternative.
  4. The popularity of vegan and vegetarian diets has risen in recent years and the market for meat substitutes in the alternative protein industry is projected to continue to grow.



What Are Food Additives & How Can They Enhance Your Products?

Food additives have come a long way—and we've been part of that evolution. While the word “additive” can sometimes carry a negative connotation with consumers, the right preservatives, from a trusted supplier, offer clear advantages: enhanced flavor, improved texture, and extended shelf life. At Norben, our extensive selection of dry and liquid additives is designed to help you elevate product quality in ways that are not only cost-effective, but also highly marketable.
