About this listen
In this episode of the PPTI Podcast, the conversation focuses on how to make plant proteins work for both real food and real consumers. Host Nick Bradley is joined by experts from Happy Plant Protein, VTT, Bühler, and Planted to explore how innovation, functionality, and consumer expectations intersect in the next phase of plant-based development.
The panel discusses how cost-effective processes and simplified formulations can reduce complexity without compromising nutritional or sensory quality. They examine consumer priorities – from taste and affordability to clean-label appeal – and highlight the importance of diverse ingredient strategies in building a more sustainable food system.
By comparing different approaches to protein functionality, from solubility to texture, the speakers underline the value of collaboration between technology developers, ingredient producers, and food brands. The discussion offers a 360-degree view of the opportunities and challenges in scaling plant-based proteins for mainstream adoption.
