Today’s protein markets are shaped by these key
consumer trends
Plant-Based Nutrition
• An international shift in consumer intent & desire to consume more plant foods
and reduce animal consumption
Demand for Convenient, Portable Nutrition
• Increased snacking behavior; use of snacks as meals drive demand for
nutritionally enhanced options
Protein’s Broad Consumer Appeal
• Protein seekers are not just weight managers & bodybuilders – includes children,
seniors, health & wellness motivated & more
The Rise of the “Active Lifestyle” Consumer
• Pursue fitness as part of an overall healthy lifestyle; protein viewed as important
in achieving overall health and wellness goals
Consumer’s Changing Eating Styles
• The rise of “flexitarianism”; personalized nutrition opportunities

spot” that can lead to improved liking scores

Blends of soy and dairy work well on many
levels:
• flavour & mouthfeel
• Improved economics
• Better versus other vegetative (pea /
grains)
Flavour system, maskers & sweetening agents:
• Optimal levels identified
• Watch bitterness with high intensity
sweeteners
Thickness / mouthfeel:
• Viscosity preferences vary across consumer
groups – some like thin; some thicker
• Avoid any amount of perceived particles
Colour matters:
• It doesn’t have to be “white”
• There’s an equation
Appearance Liking = -5.577+0.141*L+0.213*a+0.014*b
