Maxavor Fish YE is also Kosher and Halal certified and suitable for several label claims
Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in Nutrition, Health and Sustainable Living, has recently announced the launch of Maxavor Fish YE – a new vegan, 100% allergen-free flavor solution. Derived from algal oil, this unique innovation allows food manufacturers to deliver an authentic fish taste and mouthfeel in a variety of plant-based fish alternative applications, in addition to fish-based products.
Answering today’s growing appetite for vegan fish flavors, Maxavor Fish YE offers manufacturers of plant- and fish-based foods two taste profiles to emulate the body, mouthfeel and taste of distinct fish varieties; one for rich and oily dark fish and another for fresh, light and fleshy white fish. Maxavor Fish YE can therefore be used to create a wide range of appealing plant-based fish alternative and fish-based products, such as vegetarian fish nuggets, vegan fish sauce and fish cakes. Maxavor Fish YE is also Kosher and Halal certified and suitable for several label claims.
Following considerable growth in the meat alternatives category, plant-based fish alternatives are emerging as an appealing option for the rising numbers of people adopting flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. Plant-based fish alternatives also present a more sustainable option for food manufacturers who are looking for ways to address growing concerns over the world’s diminishing fish resources – 33% of fish stocks are currently overfished.
Added during the blending of dry ingredients, Maxavor Fish YE is also low in salt, enabling producers to tailor sodium levels and achieve the desired taste and texture, without compromising a product’s nutritional profile.
DSM aims to support the agri-food sector by delivering high-quality, sustainable and nutritionally valuable protein products, from both animal and plant-based sources, that are accessible, affordable and appealing.
