GoodMills Innovation launched a newly developed protein blend, the GoWell® Tasty Protein. It is designed to simplify the production of protein-rich baked goods while also taking into account their taste or sensory properties. The balanced protein combination is made from fava beans, yellow peas, sunflower seeds and wheat. It has a protein content of 60 % and a well-rounded amino acid profile, the company details. Moreover, the blend has a subtle nutty flavor, with no unpleasant off-notes.
The GoWell® Tasty Protein is specifically designed for light baked goods such as burger buns.
It is easy to process and can be incorporated into existing recipes without the need for major adjustments, the specialist explains. Even at low dosages, it significantly increases the protein content in the end product.
The protein blend is also suitable for fine baked goods such as bagels, baguettes, pretzels and pancakes. Depending on dosage and recipe, manufacturers can also make claims such as ‘high protein content’ or ‘vegan’.
In addition, the ingredients it uses, such as fava beans and sunflower seeds, are environmentally friendly in cultivation and processing.
Based in Hamburg, Germany, GoodMills Innovation develops clean-label ingredients based on cereals and pulses for a wide range of applications in the food, bakery, snack and nutraceutical industries. It is a part of the GoodMills Group, Europe’s largest milling group.
