PLANTS UNLIMITED™

Designed specifically for plant-based applications, our proprietary enzymes help improve key features—from flavor to functionality—and get your plant-based beverages and cheeses to market faster.

SOLVING PLANT-BASED CHALLENGES WITH PRECISION ENZYME SOLUTIONS

Our pioneering enzyme technologies solve the most critical challenges in plant-based food and beverage development. With a world-renowned library of approximately 20,000 enzyme strains and proven methodologies, we help industry leaders achieve superior stability, extended shelf life and bespoke sugar profiles.

Our proprietary enzyme solutions include:

Aids in protein stability and prevents curdling in acidic beverages—like coffee—without acidity regulators.

Creates natural sweetness in cereal-based non-dairy beverages without increasing sugar content.

Useful for liquefaction and saccharification. Also enables sugar profile control in cereal-based beverages.

Modifies plant-based proteins to improve melt and stretch in plant-based cheese, targeting functionality gaps in the category.

SMOOTH SIP. FOAMY FINISH. – PG500

Create delicious, silky, high protein plant-based beverages. PG500 improves protein solubility at lower pH levels, ensuring a smooth, creamy mouthfeel—even with increased protein content. PG500 also prevents precipitation and maintains uniformity in hot applications, like coffee—delivering a consistently delicious experience and barista-quality beverages.

USE CASE: Prevents curdling of plant-based drinks in low-pH environments like coffee and fruit-based beverages.

 Key Features:

  • Organic, non-GM compliant*
  • Creates barista-style stability and consistent foam
  • Supports label-friendly claims (no need for acidity regulators)
  • Functions in hot and cold beverages
  • Available in 44 countries
  • More than 60 patents

*Regulation (EU) 2018/848 ** Non-GMO compliance Affidavit for non-testable source micro-organisms by Non-GMO project.

NATURALLY SWEET, FULL FLAVOR – VERAMAX G3

In cereal-based beverages, Veramax G3 unlocks more from your starch—breaking it down into maltotriose, a trimer that is less sweet than glucose (G1) and maltose (G2) and considered a carbohydrate. This innovative process helps brands create cleaner labels by listing carbohydrates instead of sugars. And in the EU, it opens the door to no-sugar claims, while still delivering a full-bodied taste and naturally subtle sweetness consumers love.

USE CASE: Enables formulation of full-bodied, naturally sweet plant-based drinks without the common watery, thin texture.

 Key Features:

  • Limits enzymatic breakdown to maltotriose G3 sugars
  • Naturally slightly sweet taste—no added sugar or dilution required
  • Eliminates need to dilute or mask flavor
  • Meets 0.5% sugar to achieve no-sugar labeling, while preserving sensory appeal
  • Targets the rapidly growing 22% CAGR no-sugar plant-based dairy segment (2020–2024)

THE SWEETNESS CUSTOMIZER – VERAMAX G2 AND KLEISTASE

Our enzymes play a crucial role in transforming cereal grains into smooth, drinkable plant-based beverages by breaking down the starch—without them, it’s just a thick, unworkable mess. Veramax G2 and other amylases allow for the customization of sweetness, which helps to meet customer sweetness preferences.

USE CASE: Customizes the sugar profile in cereal-based plant drinks, like oat or rice.

 Key Features:

  • Allows manufacturers to tailor the sweetness experience to regional or brand preferences
  • Creates flavor-specific profiles by targeting different sugars (G1, G2 and G3)
  • Enhances sweetness perception while maintaining nutritional targets

AUTHENTIC STRETCH & MELT – CHEESEMAX™ PB

Cheesemax™ PB can help create high protein, plant-based cheeses that melt and stretch just like real cheese—without compromising on texture or flavor. Developed with our leading technology, Cheesemax™ PB solves common challenges with high protein cheese, like brittleness, unappealing texture and poor meltability, delivering creamy, flavorful plant-based cheese that performs beautifully in any application.

USE CASE: Non-dairy cheese formulations must add a significant amount of non-dairy protein—which impacts texture, stretch and meltability.

 Key Features:

  • Creates dairy-like texture in high protein plant-based cheese
  • Helps high protein plant-based cheese to maintain its creamy texture and robust flavor
  • Develops plant-based cheese with high protein content, extensibility and heat-melting ability
  • Allows less stabilizers and more protein
