Roquette's new kid on the milk replacement product block

Interest in milk alternatives is growing due to concerns about dairy allergies and a desire for alternative protein sources and additional nutritional benefits. We’ve seen nut milk, oat milk and even rice milk, but the leading dairy-free alternative to milk from ruminants is soy.

Didier Videau, development director from Roquette’s Nutrition Business Unit says this could change in time, as Roquette presents a pea-protein based milk alternative to clients at HIE 2010. Traditionally, pea protein has been criticised for its ‘off’ taste, but Videau explains that the VegBoost concept uses “breakthrough” technology to counter this, and is non-GM, non-allergenic and high in fibre.
